I've heard it said that you will never regret having another once they've joined the family. But just have a good look at your finances and other practical bits and pieces (enough room, enough support, enough time)

My finances step mom has 10 kids , her youngest one is 1 years old . She told me your body will know when it’ll be your last . So I say go for it !! And ofc think about the support you have

GIRL JUST GO BABYSIT lol I’m just playing, as long as you can afford it and feel like you can maintain showing the same love to your other children go for it

Hi cross ur leg close ur eyes

Baby fever is so real 😭 but honestly I think the biggest thing is making sure you and your husband are emotionally, financially, and mentally in a good place for another baby. The world is scary sometimes and there’s always gonna be news, stress, economy issues, etc., but people have raised beautiful families through hard times in every generation. If y’all truly want another baby and have the love, support, patience, and resources for one, that’s what matters most.

But it’s also okay to pause and enjoy the babies you already have instead of rushing into another pregnancy because the toddler years are NO joke 😭. You don’t have to decide right now. Baby fever comes in waves. We’re young we have time and love to give always 💜

Bad mother

Today I lost it. She cried and cried all morning, we went out for the day she was fine. Got home and cried and cried and cried.
It got too much, I walked out for a breather. Came back in and lost my shit. I didn’t shout, I didn’t become aggressive but I did throw a punnet of berries which scared her
Queue me falling apart because I’ve scared my own daughter. What kind of mother am I for scaring my baby girl. I feel beyond disgusted with myself.
I don’t even know why I’m writing this. I guess a chance to say it out loud? I hugged her so tight at bedtime but I’m still so cross with myself

Nhs baby bundle

Just received this massive box full of stuff for baby . All free from the nhs, actually shocked by the amount of stuff inside ! Ladies make sure you get yours from your midewife ! ( Wales )

Does your spouse or partner…

Hi. So this might sound dumb to some, idk. I’m not here to argue.
Anyways, my partner got me a sex toy, he said it’s an early Mother’s Day present. He has always been against me having toys, in fact he broke one! So he said this is because you think I broke yours.
So me being shocked figured there was more to the story. I asked him what he got. First answer he said nothing, then I asked him again, he said he got something. So once we got back to the house I was curious. It was what I think is a pocket p.
So it could flip to a vagina or a butthole. Anyways, the reviews I read on them says they feel real. Obviously I’m not a guy so I’m not 100% sure if it does or not to a guy. Anyways, I’m wondering if we will have less sex now since he’s content doing things to himself? No I’m not trying to control his masterbation, I’m trying to figure out if my life will be affected sexual wise by his choices. Been with him over 5 years so I’m sure it does feel amazing to him.

Anyone have any experience dealing with this type of thing?

Selling online

I’m selling a stroller for way below resale price online BUT someone asked to come see it not that they were going to purchase it I feel like it’s gunna be a waste of my time?

Sick to death of repeating myself and being ignored by family

I’ve asked my family multiple times now not to give my nearly 20 month old milk, she was diagnosed with CMPA at 6 weeks and instead of listening to me, they told me she didn’t have it etc etc. Fast forward to weaning and it was the threats of giving her milk and food with milk in, then it was family feeding her foods that she couldn’t tolerate without me knowing but everyone else did and now my sister gave her a Freddo chocolate with caramel today and within 3 hours she’s had 2 dirty nappies and is sore and isn’t happy. I’ve asked time and time again not to give her milk and I’ve constantly been ignored. I’ve booked a holiday for next month for myself, my sister and both my daughters but I know if I’m not listened to and she’s given milk this’ll happen again and it’ll end in an argument and it’s my first holiday with my girls so what do I do?

Sleep Advice

My 12 week old girl will not sleep for longer than 30 minutes in her bassinet during the day. At the moment I’m contact napping to rescue the nap. Will she grow out of this or do I need to make some changes? I use the rockit but it doesn’t seem to lengthen her nap. I also have white noise on. I’m happy to keep contact napping if that’s what she needs but I’d also love to have 5 minutes to myself!
