My daughter is begging to go to Disney world have y’all been yet?

She turns 3 in July

But she’s also obsessed with Harry Potter so I’m considering universal 👀

You'd have to drag me there kicking and screaming

I think 3 is too young. Its a lot of walking, waiting in lines, long days. Id wait til more like 6 or 7

We went to universal when my son was 11 months old (we went for dads birthday as he had never been before) I made both them fall in love with theme parks that trip 😌 very worth it in my opinion (but like not solely for the child to do things or remember the trip fully)

I took my son at 3, not worth it at that age in my opinion

I agree with the above comment. I'd wait on large theme parks until she's at least 6.

It’s so worth it! We went in October (oldest was 3 and youngest 1 1/2) they both still talk about different rides, characters they met, and ask to go back all the time. All we did was a day at magic kingdom and breakfast with Mickey

I would wait until they can at least remember it, maybe 10

Disney got a two year old to beg you for your business for them. Doesn't have to get you. She wants to go where the princesses and the cartoons are. She has no context of the effort, retention, value, etc. You are the adult. Go ahead and research if that's worth your money and time and consider how much she will remember.

I went when I was younger but not with the kids.I would not take my kids until they are older

Unreasonable or nah?

Partner wanted to take son to see his grandad at the pub at 6pm. I said thats fine but he needs ro be back by half 7 absolute LATEST because his bedtime is actually 7, but I wanted to give them longer. He starts arguing, saying son can sleep in the pram. I say no, you know he doesnt sleep well in the pram and he doesnt transfer well, bedtime will be a battle and so will the night shift. He says he'll handle it but I say it's not the point, our son needs routine. He starts yelling at me, telling me I'm being controlling and he can do what he wants with our son. It becomes a massive thing, resulting in me saying 'if you cant compromise, youre not taking our son anywhere'. He tries to backpeddle and say he'll bring him back, its gone 6 now and hes losing time. I say no, until you learn to respect our sons wants and needs and out them before your own/your dad's, it's not happening

Hes now crying in the garden to his dad about what a bitch I am and tbh, I'm ready to pack my shit and leave.

For context: 1) I do ALL the nightshifts. My partner never wakes, if I want help I have to wake him. But if I wake him he gets shitty and makes the whole nighttime thing way more stressful, so I've stopped bothering. Partner says this is MY problem as I'm choosing to do it alone..
2) his dad won't come to ours apparently, because i 'dont make him feel welcome'. Weird, considering I hugged him last time I saw him and hand painted an engagement card, but Im a cunt ig?
3) last time he took him to the pub, he didnt come back until 11pm, despite me ringing several times asking him to being him home. He left eventually...after his friends told him to.

Help - honest views / advice?

My house is not big enough for the pram inside - I have no hallway and limited living room space. I am having to leave the pram and travel system in the boot of my car which is on the driveway right outside the house. I am leaving the baby in his Moses basket safe and going to the car with the door open so can hear him. It won’t be too bad when he is in his stroller because this can be condensed down which I can bring in and fit in the house.

Does anyone else do this / or know anyway of resolving this??

I have anxieties and OCD which I am getting help for from the mental health team. My husband thinks I’m over thinking it for how long I am going to the car but I don’t know? Something just doesn’t sit right with me.

Discipline

How are we disciplining our children???

My daughter is 19 months and she doesn't listen for nooothing.

We have child safety locks on our lower cabinets and she tore one off and keeps trying to get in it. No matter how many times I tell her no and move her or hold her hands and say no she KEEPS. ON. GOING. BACK. And it's like that with eeeverryythiiingg. The trash, her dad's work boots, everything she's not supposed to touch or do she does it laughing.

I get she's testing boundaries but wtf am I supposed to do??

And don't even say hit her😒

6 week olds legs and arms still skinny?

Hey mamas, should I be concerned that my baby’s arms and legs are still super skinny? He’s 6 weeks old and is gaining weight but ive seen other peoples 6 week old baby’s and they seem to have much chunkier arms and legs? he exclusively breast feeds but I’ve had mixed reviews on this with some saying it makes baby’s chubby and some saying formula does.

What’s your reaction to this

One of my family members are homeschooling their children, they do not teach their children much. When I asked He said there 10-year-old is learning how to read by playing Minecraft. They were very happy by this fact.

Distressed baby

Any ideas what could be behind this and any tips for managing please, I am struggling😔 For the last 2 days my baby has been so out of sorts and miserable. He is going between being calm and ok to in full blown hysteria screaming and crying on off from the minute he wakes in the morning to when he goes to bed in the evening. His top 2 teeth are coming through so I know there is teething pain which we are trying to manage. He has also decided he hates sitting or lying down and only wants to stand by the sofa which if he can’t is also causing a huge meltdown. I’ve never seen him so distressed before and nothing really settles him. I’ve tried every tv programme he usually enjoys, toys he won’t now play with. He is so clingy too. I literally can’t get anything done at all whether that’s as simple as me having a drink or doing anything that he needs. It’s causing him to hyperventilate he is that hysterical. It’s really getting to me as at times I’m finding myself snapping at him and seeing him so distressed makes me want to cry with him😭
