Preparing toddler

I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant with my second, for those who have had their second any advice? My toddler is end of April little girl very very clever very switched on language amazing able to communicate well asks questions and expresses feelings. She goes to nursery part time is with my mam a little but I only work part time as I still want to spend time with her before school. She’s quite sensitive I would say and is starting to pick up on things already adults mentioning baby, baby parcels arriving stuff coming down from the loft. She’s interested in my belly strokes and kisses it and asks questions about the baby. But I do think it’ll be a huge huge change for her and that she may struggle at first. Is there anything I should be doing? Anything I should be explaining? My partner just keeps saying you will always be our number 1 😭 we’ve recently moved her into her own room in preparation, I’m trying to find a balance of spending these last few weeks with her but also setting boundaries as she does require a lot of attention from me and would prefer I did things over anyone else

First day solids!!

Let’s go! 🥦🍌🥑🫐🥔🍎

Going from 2-3, Help! 😩

My 2 step-daughters live with us full time, and have done for nearly 5 years. We now have our 4week old baby boy and I'm really struggling with how a routine will ever come into place.

I had a C-section so have not been doing many of the school runs as I'm unable to drive. My mum has been living with us during the week to help as my partner had to go back to work 4 days after bringing baby home.

We are getting closer to the time my mum won't be here to help and I'll be doing all of the school runs (and all other things that come with being a mum and running a house) and I do not know how I'm going to get out the door at 8am - let alone keep everyone organised and settled.

Parenting isn't new to me but being a mummy to a new born baby is so I feel a little lost.

Any advice welcome!

Day festival with 6 month old

Me and my partner are taking my 6 month old to a local day festival... Initially planned to come home early evening but now wondering whether to stick out till after the main headline act so my partner can see. Is this a stupid idea with a young baby? My frienfs are camping near to main area and so can take baby back there for naps plus most of the day will be spent in kids field. Thoughts / advice welcome. I would then drive home late evening.

Nursery question UK

My son starts nursery soon and they said they provide all the kids with wellies and rainsuits for playing in the garden.

Does anyone know why this is? Why can't he just wear his own?

The pamphlet didn't explain the reasoning, I suppose I can ask in a few weeks when we get to visit, but I was just curious if other nursery's do this?

Unreasonable to be annoyed at this??

So me and my boyfriend have been together 6 months and is it a bit shitty that we have only been for dinner once? And not really been anywhere on a day out. Alls he does is work, a lot. Which I like in a man but he works 60 hours a week and always says he has no money. But I just would love to get dressed up a night and I love going for dinner/going on adventures etc but he just works and sleeps 🙈 I don’t even ever think we’ve went for lunch. I have a 6 year old daughter and only get 2 nights a week free so would be nice to actually go somewhere or do somethin. It’s always me askin go do stuff and he’s just like “yeah come round to mine” and we just sit and watch tv 🙈

Am I overreacting?

My husband wants to get a live in nanny and get me back to work at the hospital ASAP after my c-section in July. He wants me to go back to my regular hours, which is a 12 hour shift 5 days a week, an hour drive one way. So 14 hours, 5 days a week. He thinks this leave loads of time for me to bond and raise our child. First off, I don't see how we have money for a nanny, he thinks we can pay someone less than 500 a MONTH to be our live in nanny, and second, I want to raise MY child! This child will be my first and only child, a child I was told for years I'd never be able to have.
