Do you do any nursery pick ups in PJs?

I sometimes do when I’m in too much pain to change. Wondering if people ever judge me for it.

I totally would but im 22 with 2 under 2 so feel like I need to appear completely perfect so people don’t judge me, maybe if more mums at my sons nursery did the same i would as well x

Not in my pj's, but on my WFH days I certainly look like I'm pulling my best Adam Sandler impression

People will judge you regardless of what you do, as long as you’re comfortable who gives a crap about others they see you for a few minutes and that’s it 😂

I’m dressed when I walk out the house, esp when I pick up my kids but that’s me. When I look pretty I also feel pretty. When I look bummy I feel bummy so I can’t do that to myself. But I have seen mums pick up their kids in pjs and I really don’t care. I’m on the way to somewhere after, they’re probably going back home lol

Rant/vent. Pic of what I almost posted today.

I almost posted this today and honestly still debating on if I should. My ride or die, would be gay for, bestie of a lifetime, and is supposed to be the god mom to my daughter. Hasn’t spoken to me since the day my daughter was born because she doesn’t like my daughter’s father. Him and I went through a rough patch during my pregnancy. He has ptsd and shut down for basically my entire pregnancy. He admitted that he made a mistake and is/has been working on himself to be better. She put me in the position of it’s her or him. I made it a point that if he wanted to have a relationship with our daughter I am going to give him that chance to have one with our daughter. He has made huge progress and I still love him even if what he did wasn’t ok. My other set of people I wanted as god parents also haven’t talked me to because they weren’t informed on when I went into labor. They found out when I announced to everyone that I had my daughter and they got upset because they didn’t get a private message. Baby daddy was about to send a message but I hit send first. I’m just so overwhelmed and tired.

Yes my PPD is under control, yes my daughter and I are safe, yes I have the support of my baby daddy - his family - and my family, I’m just over people who think they know what’s best for my child even though they’ve not bothered to talk to me or see her.

dad taking over?

anyone else feel like their babys dad is taking over?
im 4 weeks postpartum, and while im SO grateful that he’s a hands on dad (the bare minimum) i cant help but feel like im literally only here to breastfeed. he lets me sleep more than him but i feel like hes always there, always watching, always taking her from me, always giving me passive aggressive and condescending ‘advice’ ???
ive been feeling like i cant connect with baby and that alongside the stress of breastfeeding is making me so overwhelmed and i dont know what to do.
i guess i just want to know if im the only one? :/

8 month old prefers dad

I’m starting to feel like my baby hates me, he always smiles at dad but hardly at me. Google says he’ll prefer his primary care giver which is me but he doesn’t and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

Childcare Gov account- help

Hi there, can I get a bit of advice with my childcare gov account. For background I have a 6 year old and a 6 month old who is yet to start nursery. When I log on and click the ‘free childcare for parents’ menu both kids are listed with their own codes. We have yet to give my LOs code to the nursery.
However when I click the ‘your tax-free childcare account’ only my eldest is listed. Is this normal at this stage or have I missed a step? Thanks!

Dilemmaaaa

so I have twin 8month old babies and it’s my first cousin’s wedding on sunday, from 10am until very late… partner’s parents are going to babysit, and me and partner were going to stay until about 6pm… but then the dinner part doesn’t even start until 7pm…! we can’t ask partner’s parents to stay much later as they’re already coming round early in the morning. my cousin is begging at least for me to stay for the dinner but I feel bad to let partner go home alone and put the twins to bed (it’s a lotttttt)… but then a) my cousin said she only gets married once… b) his parents will still be there to help… c) it’s one night and if it was other way round I would do it for him ……… but a) what if they don’t go to sleep… b) his parents judge if i am out late… c) what if he resents me after (he is like that) …
Any advice or suggestions or persuasion tips pleeeeeease comment!!!

My 20 month old daughter struggles to eat anything these days

I can count the things she will eat on 1 hand. Otherwise everything else she either throws on the floor or doesn’t touch
The only things she’ll eat is - eggs, yoghurt, fruits, bread, and some veggies, potato and milk

She won’t touch rice, pasta, cheese, fish, meat, beans and anything in between

I’m at my ends wits with it to be honest cuz she eats the same thing everyday and even the things she likes, she doesn’t eat a lot of

For breakfast, same everyday - egg, banana (or toast - only manages half) and yoghurt

Lunch I try to make a sandwich with fish or cheese - usually goes barely touched. Alongside fruit and some crisps or something - that also usually goes untouched

Dinner I’ve given up giving her what we eat and I opt for green veg, homemade chips and some sort of chicken or a fish cake. She used to eat it but now she doesn’t touch the protein and just eats the potato and veg

Idk what to do cuz anything else and it’s on the floor
