Holiday packing for baby (6 months)

Hi Mamas,
Please could you advise what I need to pack for 10 days holiday in Majorca. We go next month and baby will be 6 months. (EBF)
I understand the obvious clothes, swimmers, nappies. But please could you tell me what is essential or any tips?

Grandparents watching your child is on your time not theirs

For example:
You: we have plans this day can you watch xyz?
Them: no but I can the next day
You: that doesn’t work because the plans are this day nevermind

Help! Please tell me what to do!

My one year old doesnt eat at all. All food I make she picks up and drops it down her high chair. I stopped giving her food in a plate because she would flip it. Now I just serve on the tray but that too still isn't helping at all. So much food gets wasted everyday. What do I do? I feel like giving up!!!

Staff ratio at nursery

What is the legal requirement of staff to children ratio for a nursery with children aged 2-5 all in the same room?

Recently I was told where I was thinking of sending my son the ratio is 10:1 (children to staff)

I visited a room with 2-3 year olds and the ratio was 5:1 (staff to children)

How is it legal to then just add on another 5 because others are older you still have to care for the 2 year olds. Does the older children suddenly mean they can have 6 2 year olds and 4 4 year olds with 1 key worker?

Advise would be great thanks

Opinions on whether I’m wrong

So my husband goes to work and ima stay at home mom. We have a 16 month old and a 2.5 week old newborn and for the most part I take over with the kids so he can get rest. Well today I went to go take a shower and I washed my hair and I have to put medical creams on. So while in the middle of drying off and doing that our 16 month old woke up screaming and crying. It took me about 5 mins to get her so I could get my clothes on and while I did this he was trying to take a nap. I guess she disrupted his nap bc he was like at this point I’m not even going to go to sleep anymore. Mind you before my shower I gave him a bj bc he had an attitude that I’ve only done it once since having the baby. So he gets angry at me bc he says he only got 3 hours of sleep, which I understand but I explained he is being selfish bc I haven’t been getting any good sleep either, then he goes out to the car to leave and I tried to talk with him and he says don’t bring problems outside. Then he said bitch go in the fucking house to me. How am I wrong for wanting to dry myself off and get my clothes on? Any other time I make sure he gets his rest

Distant from husband

Hello everyone, i am after ftm to a 10month old baby boy. I am feeling very distant from my husband for a few months. Whenever i say i need us to spend time together , it just never happens. He always says he loves me irrespective. We are not physical anymore, there are no touches/hands holding etc. Is this how motherhood feels? Every night my body is needed by my baby so much and on the other hand I feel like my husband doesn’t.

Sorry for venting here! But just wanted to see anyone else is going through the same? What have you done to improve your relationship or go back to that loving relationship? it just feels i am only a mother now. Every relationship with my husband doesn’t exist. We both love each other but I don’t know how to bring the love/touch back.

Ps: during pregnancy we barely had sex as it was our first baby and we just didn’t knew if it was safe.

Is anyone else in this same space?

So I have a 6 month old and in a long distance marriage. My husband was only able to stay for a month after the baby was born before leaving for work. I have been raising my son alone and this has caused a lot of strain between me and my husband. He just doesn’t seem to understand how much effort it’s taking me to raise our baby. I’m so irritated I feel like divorcing him.
