HELP! I can't get it.

Any single moms of multiple kids struggling to juggle giving each one enough attention? My kids are 2(m), 4(m) and 6(f). My husband is on extended leave deployment I'm in way over my head, living in a vacuum with no help, guidance, consult... sanity! Each one needs a 100% of my time, some are more demanding others, which seems unfair (that the most obnoxious one should get my attention) which is more than I can give and since it's just me, I have Noone to divide the attention. 3 against 1 - how can this be done???

I don't know what to do! Advice needed

My son (just turned 4) has bad social anxiety around other children. Particularly ones his age. We pulled him out of a nursery as he was incredibly unhappy and distressed there. He goes to preschool and he is happier there. That social anxiety still stands and just as he was becoming confident. A little girl started after Christmas, she has been pulling his hair, dragging him out of the quiet corner and even pulling him off his potty. He has his own toilet area as he doesn't like the preschool toilets. He used to use them until this girl started and we've had a massive stetback with everything. He once came home with scratches all across his stomach from one of her 'episodes' the teacher called it.

They have three teachers in the preschool setting so why is a little girl bullying my son? They will go to the same school in September.

My question is how can I help my son build on this social anxiety if he is a victim of this aggressive behaviour at preschool?

We take him to parks, play centres and such. He seems happy enough once he is settled there.

Government nursery funding

Hi I have been told if we are claiming UC we cannot claim the government funding for nursery care, is this correct? 🤔

I am working the UC just tops my wage up.

Thank you from a very confused first time mum ☺️

Government funding hours

Can I ask, does anyone know much regarding this?
I’ve been told I’m allowed the hours for nursery but a friend has said that even if one week (say we are on holiday) we are still charged/using some of those hours? Even tho she’s not going to be in nursery?!

They have said I can have the hours over 32 weeks, I thought it was 42 weeks?

Not interested in anything

I'm really struggling my 2 year old daughter is not interested in anything. She don't like been outdoor or indoors I'm struggling to keep her entertained.
She has no interest in toys either.
I've taken her so many places and she just wants to leave its like its boring to her as much as I try and make it fun.
Dancing is the only thing she will do for a short time.
I've spoke to health visitor and they didn't seem to be concerned. But I am as I don't know what to do anymore.

Safe space?

My divorce was finalized 5 months ago with a man I have been with for 11 years and share 3 children. I put on a tough face but I am heartbroken and not taking it well. Neither one of us wanted to separate, but neither one of us did the work to fix it. Now that our divorce is official, I still can’t shake the feeling that it was a mistake. He is my best friend and I love him dearly. Do I tell him? Or continue to cry myself to sleep every night? How would I even approach him with this information?

Unsure teething

My little boy had rosy red really warm cheeks, his chest is a little warm & head a little warm, I've done his temperature and it's completely normal it's 37.4 at the highest so not classed as a temperature as it's not over 38.
He's quite fussy and has had badly disturbed sleep the last 2 nights. He's 10.5 months old & has his top 4 top and bottom teeth so 8 in total. I'm unsure as to whether he is teething his molars already as I know it can happen around 10-11 months where he already has 8 teeth.
Does this sound like teething? He's still having his morning and night time bottle and his 3meals with snacks during the day.
I'm unsure as he never had any issues teething with the first 8 teeth he got, we didn't even know they had come through until we saw them!

Any advice is helpful!
Thank you! From a first time Mummy who's struggling a little! X
