Hearing Loss Baby Advice!?

I’m struggling to find toys that are good for my son’s development that he can actually play with or look at. He is deaf and doesn’t have fully developed arms either, I have light up toys but I feel like it’s bad for him to look at lights all the time! He has some stuffed animals he likes but I want him to have actual toys that he can learn from and play with in the future.

Frustrating 😞

I have a 13 month old baby who goes to nursery 3 days a week while hubby and I go to work. She's exclusively breastfeeding but has cows milk off everyone but refuses from me. She constantly wants the boobs with me when I'm home. She's an absolute angel with everyone apart from me!!
She will be whinging all day and I don't go out on my days off cos I'm just so exhausted. I keep feeling down that I don't get myself out on my own with her, I will only ever go out with her when hubby is off. She's very attached to me, I love it but at the same time I just need her to be a little more independent and just be happy but it just feels like a massive battle 😔
Can someone help me with this?!

If a child hits your child in the head with a basketball at school, would you expect that child's mother to reach out to you?

I feel some sort of acknowledgment or apology is needed. This kid is a huge problem. Took my daughter's glasses off her face, tried to hit her, all while in P.E. The teacher did NOT notify me as he said he didn't witness it. The main teacher told me when I picked her up from school. I've seen the mom and the bad ass little boy since and still no word.

This is a kid that throws chairs and flips the bird at his teachers and calls them bitches and to shut up. He's awful. I've witnessed it in real time. I'm not sure what his history is or what struggles he's had, but I would seriously wonder about the person he'll grow into if I were his mother

Nursery, am I doing the right thing

I’m really feeling uneasy and doubting myself. My son is due to start nursery next month and I am absolutely dreading it. He was born 2 months early and spent 5 weeks in nicu. Since then he and I have not had any time away from each other and nobody other than my husband or I have cared for him. I hate being away from him. The nursery have just contacted to arrange settling sessions and my immediate thought was I don’t want him going and that I can’t do it. I’m trying to see if I could change my job to something where I either work evenings or early mornings and only send my lo to nursery for half a day. I don’t know what to do or what is right😭 also really worried that if I do send him to nursery it will break the bond that he and I have got. Not sure if this a sign we are just not ready yet

How important do you think it is to show up for your children’s school functions? (Plays, recitals, concerts etc)

I show up to everything for my son, big or small. I’ve taken an afternoon off from work to watch his Halloween parade where they just walk around the school in their costumes. No matter how big or small. I feel like showing up matters.

My bonus girl came home today saying yesterday she had a concert in school where she played her instrument and all the parents showed up but her mom didn’t. Her mom is mainly in charge of everything education related because they live 1.5 hours away in another state. However her mom never communicates with us education related things. We have to pull teeth to get copies of report cards or to be notified of anything going on at school.

I feel bad because my son had a ceremony after school yesterday which we attended but if her mom would’ve informed her we could’ve made it to both their milestones. When I asked her how she was feeling that no one showed up, she said sad & it broke my heart.

Feeling like a bad wife. I made my husband feel as though he had to leave the bed.

I’ve been really struggling with sleep recently due to comfort, reflux and being on and off the toilet however tonight my husband was just that last little thing to push me over the edge. He kept moving in his sleep , rolling into me and snoring so at 2am I got very fed up and had ago at him because I hadn’t got a single bit of sleep . After that I must’ve passed out because I woke up 3:15 and he was gone , I went for a wee and went looking for him. He told me he was fed up of me moaning at him so he just got up. I asked him to come back bed and he’s refusing saying I need to sleep and he can’t be bothered with me morning at him. I feel awful.

Sale vs Sell

So my manager does reports for the store (it’s a fast fashion women’s retail store). I’m a supervisor and she stay writing emails and reports will spelling errors. It pisses me off so bad.

THIS 32 YEAR OLD WOMAN DOESN’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SALE AND SELL or THEIR, THERE, and THEY’RE. She will also email the store’s HQ monthly reports and say things like “Target points have averaged 80% for March, we received inventory from Orange County location which has been a huge help to mines” like GIRL. I’ve told her multiple times but she don’t listen and I feel like her incompetence hurts us as a team. Is it just the Virgo in me or am I having a valid crash out and what do I do ???
