Child running off

Has anyone else’s 3 year old ran off in a supermarket before?

When doing my shopping yesterday, my husband was watching our son and I grabbed some nappy’s and saw my husband turn his back on our son and I shouted keep an eye on our son!! As he turned around he lost sight of him and we couldn’t find him for like 2 mins which felt like forever!!! He was in a opposit aisle to where my husband said he’d gone and we found him as we heard him crying. I’m such an overprotective mom & know all the dangers and I’m always full of anxiety when it comes to my son being in someone else’s care other than mine. Now I feel so angry at my husband, I blame him & I feel like I don’t trust him taking our son out now. I also feel so much guilt I let this happen too🫩 he was safe and nothing happened thankfully but the possibilities keep running through my head especially in this evil world we live in 🥲

30 hours free childcare

I have some serious baby brain right now, and I’ve read this over and over and am still unsure! I don’t want to do it wrong and then not get the funding! Picture attached below - mums on maternity leave (SMP) what did you pick? Yes or no? Technically no I’m not earning that much as SMP doesnt pay that much, but my normal job would pay over that and I’m due to go back in 2 months. Help please!

Wants a dna test

Sooo, today I had my anatomy scan(thank god everything went well, especially with baby) but once again dad couldn’t make it.
I told him about it the day before and told him I was leaving my mom’s house at a specific time, either meet me at my house or the hospital, left me on read and never came. He then got the nerve to ask why I didn’t call him. Well one I was up all night finishing my hair by myself, rushing out the house, sleep deprived, and I told you when to come so that’s on you, not me.
Anyways , I told him why and apparently he didn’t like what he heard so now he’s talking about he wants a dna test. I’m gonna give him what asked for and im breaking things off with him. Not because I’m guilty but because I’m tired off always being accused or the identity our baby being a topic every time he doesn’t get his ways.

Idk what to do🤷🏽‍♀️

Hey so I have 2 kids, my son just turned 4 in March and my daughter is 19 months. We live in apartments on the 3rd floor and we just moved in about a month ago. Our downstairs neighbors are constantly banging on the ceiling when my kids are playing and don’t get me wrong i understand kids stomping all day can be annoying so I try to minimize them running or doing things that make stomping noises and I feel bad because they can’t play how they want in there own home and my kids don’t stomp at crazy hours like I’m able to hold them off till like maybe 3 or 4 in the afternoon and go to bed at 9pm but they don’t stomp that whole time. So idk if i should maybe write them a letter explaining I have two little kids or am i wrong when they stomp at all?

Have you tried the magic spoon? 🤔

Ive been feeding my almost 8mo purees for about a month maybe month and a half. Ive just used the regular baby spoons and he would mostly spit out whatever I gave him. He recently started swallowing a little more but still not a lot. Maybe a teaspoon the whole meal if that😞 And he also would only open his mouth once or twice, the rest of the time Id have to make him smile to open his mouth. But today I ran out of spoons (they were all in the dishwasher) so I used one of the fun spoons we have (I'll put a picture in comments) but it's an elephant and it's adorable, but it's also a magic spoon! Every single bite he opened his mouth and actually swallowed most if not all of it!!! And I tested it with 2 different foods, one that he rejected multiple time before! I was in complete shock cause j thought I was doing something wrong this whole time. Turns out I just needed the magic spoon!😂

I’m exhausted

I have a 3 month old and I’m the only one that wakes up with him in the night. My bf works 6am-2pm and he is the provider but when he gets home he doesn’t do anything. Like I do everything by myself, laundry, cooking, bathing the kids etc. I get it he works but that shouldn’t stop him from doing stuff at home. Then he wants me to work on top of school and on top of the kids. It just seems like the mom’s load is never ending while he’s free to do anything.

Feeling unsupported

My husband works a lot. I'm a new mom. He only helps when I ask him and sometimes he acts so put out when I ask. I am thankful that he works and that I get to stay at home with our baby but am I selfish for wanting a little help everyday? He was throwing it in my face that he held our baby for 3 hrs total today (keep in mind it was not all at once & this is not an everyday thing). Also, it was because I had to work on stuff for the baby (like laundry, installing baby stuff, ect).
