Smoothies

I use to give my children a (happy monkey) smoothie every day until I seen a video about the amount of sugar in them and how it's better for them to have fresh made smoothies even using frozen premade bags. After that I brought frozen bags an a blender.... It's been a week an then blender is still in the box 😬. I want to start doing it as they use to love smoothies but I don't know what I'm doing 😅. Can anyone help? I was going to ask on the video I watched but can't seem to find it anymore 😑 so not sure where to ask.

Grandparents babysitting

When you have your parents or your child's other grandparents babysit them, do you share the routine and schedule or do you just allow them to do whatever or do you do like a half and half?

What's your list of things to bring when travelling?

Do you have any tips to keep baby happy?

Random vent

Do anyone else feel like your an aggressive parent? And you have to be because the other parent is more soft than you? I don’t know I currently have a 4 year old , a 9 year old , 9 month old and currently pregnant with another boy! And my boys are ROUGH I love my babies but their “ BOYS “ constantly fighting constantly crying constantly breaking things constantly talking back and the list goes on I feel like I can’t be the soft loving parent at times or instead of yelling I can’t sit and just have a talk becasue it doesn’t work AT ALL my house is never quiet and dad is the complete opposite of me he HARDLY gets onto them for their wrong doings and his baby them which is fine at times but there are times where discipline is needed etc etc and I have to be that parent and it sucks.

Other mum disciplining daughter in front of me

I have a mum friend from the kids swimming. Our daughters are 3. We have caught up maybe 5 times. Last time at the park though she thought it appropriate to talk sternly to my daughter on multiple occasions when I already had a hold of it. Her daughter was in a standoffish mood and didn't want my daughter near her a lot of the time but was chucking tantrums when my daughter was walking away. Anyway, her daughter was on a piece of equipment and my daughter tried to get on with her and I was saying my daughters name and that her daughter didn't want anyone on there and she needed space. It took only a second before she got off it but this friend yelled my daughters name and said to get off the equipment now! And another time my daughter went to get on something next to her daughter and her daughter pushed her away and my daughter said you dont push people and she said no sweet you were pushing my daughter first! She wasn't but maybe she meant like being in her space. Its really put me off her. We see each other each week at swimming but im not keen to see her again outside as the way she was talking to my daughter was so harsh. Yes if I wasn't there it would be more excusable but again, not in her tone if voice. She has mentioned before she doesn't really have any friends in our town since she moved here 15 years ago and im now wondering if thats why. She has said before she likes to tell it how it is but this is more. What would you do? Just try to make excuses when she tries to catch up? Or flat out tell her? Feel she would be very abrasive. Also should mention im a very hands on mum and don't just let my daughter get away with treating other kids badly. She doesn't though, she just wanted to be near her friend
