Need help!

Hi mums! I’m looking for a bit of support or ideas.

I have a 19-month-old and work mornings (7–3), while my husband works night shifts. We’re struggling with mornings as he can’t get proper sleep, and we can’t afford a nanny.

Is anyone interested in a childcare swap, or can recommend affordable options (childminder, part-time nursery, etc.)?

Based in Wembley. Thank you so much 🙏

Nursery

Hi all, my son has just started nursery and he’s pretty much potty trained. I need some advice as when I pick him up they have said he’s had no accidents but he’s not pulling his pants down far enough and we’re on the back off them when sat on the potty ?

How do I ask them nicely to help him next time as I thought this would have been common sense to help ?

I’ve also managed to come home with some other kids underwear so how have they mixed this up ?

And he’s not getting cleaned properly, he comes home with crusty nose from dry bogeys, he has sand all over him (why not clean it off) etc

Is this normal ?

Toddler classes

So when I was on maternity leave I did baby sensory, baby massage and other classes to give us some structure to our days.
I made loads of great friends too ☺️

However now we’re all back at work I don’t get to see my pals anymore. Plus the days I am at home it’s turned into more doing errands with my daughter.

I only work three days a week and I think if I see our local park or library one more time I’m going to scream! I want our fun days back.

What classes are you currently enjoying with your toddler? For reference she’s 19 months, walks well and is really trying hard to talk.

Recommendations for teaching toddlers about private parts and keeping their bodies safe? 1yr boy and 3yr girl

Trigger warning for CSA no judgements please. I was a victim of CSA and incest which has made it very hard to me to trust my own judgements in how to properly teach them to keep their bodies safe. I get very anxious around the topic and end up avoiding it or keeping it very brief. I don't think I'm able to teach them by just talking to them, I'm looking for recommendations for maybe books, songs, or anything that can help me get through the subject with them because even googling and looking for myself makes me feel uncomfortable and uneasy, I'd feel better just looking into what other parents recommend.

Wanting divorce

Has anyone gone thru a divorce where you’re really close with your husbands family? We’ve been together 10 yrs and I’m close friends with his cousins and most of his fam. I don’t want to get into it, but we’re not going to end on the best of terms. Regardless that we’re both at fault, I know they will take his side completely. I’m just already emotional at the fact I’ll be losing so many people.

Struggling financially

i want to put out there that I know I’m not the only person going through the and I’m not the first and also not the last. My daughter is 9 weeks old and I had to put her in day care. I’m currently in between jobs. My first one was giving me 4 hours a week and weren’t giving me any shift no matter how much I asked. I start me new job next week. The hard part is the in between. Because usually you don’t get your first paycheck, you have to wait til the next pay period to get paid. The hard part is I don’t have a super high credit limit or enough money in my account to stay positive. The only plus side is I’m fortunate enough to still live with my parents. Before you ask why don’t I go ask them for money. It’s because they didn’t choose to have another kid. So they are not responsible for paying for her. I’m just scared of losing my spot at my daycare because soon I will run out of money on my credit card. Any tips on how to just squeak by for long enough to get one my feet again. The dad also isn’t in the picture enough to ask for help.
