When my one is ill I just put at the side of her mouth or you can mix it with something just check before doing so
Side of her mouth (but slowly) or with a spoon
I used to have to put medication in a yogurt for my little boy
I’ve been given up!! My son has never wanted to take it. It used to be such a battle for 1ml. I absolutely swear by paracetamol suppositories. They sound worse than what they are. They’re super easy and not uncomfortable. Takes seconds during a nappy change. They can be hard to get so phone around a few pharmacies around first x
You can get dummy’s from boots that have a calpol syringe in if she has a dummy or with my little one I say it’s yoghurt or I pretend to have it and she takes it
I’ve always mixed Calpol or Nurofen in a bit of milk otherwise she spits it out.

How you manage with 2 ?
Girls How do you do to manage with 2
My big one is 4 years old and he is so demanding … and my second is 2 months old.
I feel if i take care of one of them the other one is crying or waiting to be changed of pop or the other one is not taking the shower 2 days or not brushing the theets uffff
My big one feels alone i see it and now he is all the time with the dog.
I don’t manage to share time with him when my husband is at work and then he act very bad few times a day and that makes me so mad also he want my attention by doing bad things
I feel very bad mum what I try to do is mornings before my husband leave to the job. I get shower get cream on my face. Have a breakfast have my coffee and do whatever I need to do at home like organizing or cleaning something if I have to cook, I also try to cook in the morning. I think this is something good but after the baby requires me a lot of times in the day and when I am busy, the big one wants to be on top of me all the time and I need to be with a baby and I need to sleep the baby and the big one makes a lot of noise and wake up the babyand like this sometimes it happens 34 times after a while the baby cannot sleep anymore without me and I have to take him with me and again I cannot be with the big one end by the time that the baby sleeps it’s already a nap time for the big one and at night at the bed I think about the day and barrelly I pay attention to him or play with him I just remember me saying no, no , he quiet stay there , don’t shout don’t do noise , I can not I don’t have time … all day 🥹
And he Mamá we play this, look at this , read me a book , but when I can do the things he don’t want and I cant correct him sometimes because the little one is on my chest and get scary fuck! 🥹🤐

Do I report to the police?
Guys need advice - My neighbours making life incredibly difficult lately. He keeps climbing his ladder to look over into my garden — it makes me feel so watched and uncomfortable, especially with my two little ones playing out there. He keeps going on the ladder to question my builders while they're working. He climbs then bangs on my windows with a broom …
Today he banged so hard my kids started screaming !! , I went out and he was moaning about noise when it was just my washing machine finishing its cycle this was at 2pm!He also keeps calling the council to report me about my extension, so I think he climbs over to actually take pictures as well . There’s a
bit of mess rn while we're having work done — things that are literally none of his business.
But I feel like since i went over to try to talk to him at his door things have gotten worse ! he didn’t even open the door so I just wrote him a letter as I just want peace .
I explained to him I don’t like him climbing over and still he climbed over!
He also came on to my property and painted my fence at the front of my door without my permission still I said nothing as his a older man . But I honestly feel like theirs more to this now his Greek Cypriot and my partners Turkish Cypriots and the Greeks hate the Turkish Cypriots so I feel like his actually racist and just trying to bully us. Do I call the police?
I’ve already emailed the council but I’m not sure what they can even do as his bought his house. But why does that mean it’s okay for him to paint my property fence ? Or constantly climb the fence. He also went to his back garden to sharpen some tools after the argument and also told my partner to come closer to the fence 😭when he had a broom in his hand .

Have any of you tried gentle parenting with your youngest child now that you're older and was a little strict with your now adult child?
My son told my husband and me that we're way more gentle with our daughter than we were with him at her age. She's definitely the little princess around here, and her big brother treats her like one too! 😂 I guess our talks with him were more stern. However, he's grown up to be such a wonderful young man.

Nursery or home school until 5?
Is anybody keeping their child/children at home with them until 5? I love having my son with me and we want a second. Nursery fees in the UK have become so expensive and I’m wondering if I should keep them at home with me. I also don’t want to deny him making friends. Ideally I’d like him to go three days a week if we are able to afford it.
