Do you mean like the nursery attached to the school? Because I'm sure you can only go from the September after they've turned 3 which is next year, so we can start applying this September I think x

They can’t start until the term art t they turn 3 which is September 2027, I don’t think applications are open yet… I think similar to primary school applications they close around January 2027… unless you mean something different?

My now 4 year old has had 2 pre school placements and I never had to apply online I just contacted them about places? X

I have a daughter who is 3 next month .... I am I barnsley .. I had to apply online for her to get a place, I find out this month beggining of next if she has a spot and wil hopefully start this Sept...
I also have a daughter who's 2 in July so 3 next year and she will hopefully Starr next September xx

Thanks everyone. I had just seen a couple weeks ago parents with a child my sons age (roughly 21months old) posting on social media that their child had got in to the school they wanted. And i woke up this morning really panicking about it. I’m not wanting my son to go to school until he is 5, so i am assuming their children will be starting at age 4?
I never even knew we needed to apply for schools, as silly as that sounds x

Depends on area... when i lived in wakefield I just contacted the school ... but barnsley I had to apply.... I would pop there name down at a school and mention u don't want them to start until there 5 just for piece of mine ... they arnt down has going to private nursery are they the person who posted xx

Is it normal??

My 12 year old has 2 brown teeth and he is not allowing me to brush his teeth

Any help is appreciated

Hear me out… tell me what you will do if you were me!!

You and your our husband both have a child before getting together and two together. The first child’s mother doesn’t want him to be involved in the child life because he has other kids from his wive and cause he got married and not to her. The child has been to the house only when it convenient for the mama. And only been around the other siblings about 3 times. As the wives I’ve tried to be the bigger person and help her as best as I could and not be nasty towards her. However, she has called DCF multiple times saying all kinds of nasty things. The child had choked our youngest child and beat on the other with different objects. The child is told he don’t have to listen to me or eat anything I cook. His dad with feed him and etc. he has broken my children game systems, ruined shoes and clothes, toys everything then tell his mom he’s being mistreated over here. When he get the same a my kids. The only thing is my kids have iPhones/ iPads and he has android and that’s bc I brought them not dad. Btw I can’t discipline him or he don’t have to follow house rules cause his mom say say so. The kids ages as follows oldest to youngest…. 11(mines), 8(his), 6(ours) and 5(ours). Hubby tries to play middle man and keep the peace but it’s becoming too much. On top of that the kids had graduation and prom on the same day different schools. 11 has graduation, 5 prom and 8 graduation all the same day. She wants him to come but not me and our kids. But want the gifts for him. I said if I can’t go I’m not giving anything or doing anything.. advice please mamas….

Was this unethical? Therapist edition lol

I had a therapist 6 years ago who was great. We did a lot of good work together and it was always professional. Emotional, of course I mean obviously, but no lines were ever crossed. We ended our therapeutic journey and then had check ins about every 3 months or so. The check ins were brief interactions- how are the babies, spouses, what’s new, so good hearing from you bye.

A few weeks ago he texted me about his wife leaving him and he found messages btwn her and an older man. (Emotional not physical cheating) He knows that my partner cheated a long time ago so I’m kind of experienced with this and he was asking me what tools I used to help heal from the trauma. I told him and from that point on we were texting every day. He would vent and ask for advice, disclose thoughts and feelings and then other times it was just casual chatter about favorite drinks and what we like to do with our babies for fun. He called me his friend.

Then today he tells me his wife wants to come back and that means he can’t talk to me anymore. He’ll check in every few months and that’s it.

I guess I’m sad. I’m not attracted to him in any way, to be clear. I was hoping she would come back to him and commit to trying again. I want good things for them but damn this just hurt. I guess maybe I’m dumb for believing that we were actually friends.

Moms with a husband/fiancé/boyfriend

Father’s Day is next month and I’d like to do something for my husband. I’m a stay at home mom for about a year and so I have no income at the moment. I’m a bit of an artist and a pretty good cook! Most Father’s Day, I write a letter and draw a picture/draw digital art and make a dinner that he will talk about most. (Within the last month or two) I’m looking for something to do for him to make him feel even more appreciated than I currently do.. what do yall normally do for Father’s Day with no money?

Has your partner called you a bad parent during an argument?

My partner did on Sunday and idk why I just can’t forgive him ! I think especially with my first Mother’s Day coming up it made me extra sad.

I need support… 😭

I’m running on empty. I’ve been a SAHM for 41/2 years straight now. I have a 6 year old, 2 year old and a 1 year old.

I’m absolutely exhausted.

My older two fight constantly, even though they’re having fun together half the time, it only lasts so long though. My 1 year old is clingy. My husband works 10-12 hour days.

I feel like I get nothing done most of the time and then panic and stay up too late catching up.

I’m over tired, over weight, unhappy and feel like a bad mom because I’m over everything.

I’ve resorted to yelling at my children throughout the day which I feel bad about but I’m literally on my last straw and even that is half broken. My oldest is undiagnosed but I’m pretty sure has autism or adhd(I’m diagnosed).

My sex drive is non existent these days, I don’t want anyone to touch me anymore, I have very few friends and honestly just feel like crying.

I really need someone to validate my feelings and tell me that this season is not going to last forever. That everything will be okay. And any tips on making siblings get along would be great too!

Thank you for listening to my Ted talk 😅😭🥹
