Once a week on a weekday evening. Sometimes he’d go play pickleball for an hour or 2 on a Sunday afternoon when our baby’s napping — but that’s agreed between us before be makes the plan and he would never arrange something I don’t agree with

If you count working out, he’ll wake up extra early and workout in our garage before work. But other than that, not a lot. He works insane hours.

Probably less than once a month, he enjoys gaming but with a 3yo and a 2month old he doesn't get much of a gap to actually play at the moment. Though he does take our toddler for a run (in a jogging stroller) at least once a week.

Whenever we need to do something we both have opportunity to do it. Sometimes could be 3 times a week, sometimes nothing.

2 nights a week guaranteed . But he puts one kid to bed first

I get one night where I go to a class that starts during bedtime so he does bedtime that night.
Mine is not as guaranteed in that if there's family stuff to sort or the kids have been home ill e.g I've got work to do (I work 3.5 over 3 days) or if we're going somewhere for the weekend and I need to organise then my class goes on the backburner that week.

He lets me sleep in when he can though so that's our trade off as I'm a terrible morning person amd I go to work early and work late when I get home

He has many hobbies. Gardening, his car, golf, football, gaming. Usually once a week but he might game a few nights once our son is in bed. I don't mind watching him game as I usually help him 😂

Has anyone ever just completely changed their lives to have a massive reset?

Basically tomorrow we tell our family’s that we’ve ever so slightly blown up our entire lives!

I’m going to tell my mum and my in-laws that not only have we sold my business that I’ve had for 9 years but we’ve also sold our home that we’ve been renovating for the past four years. AND after telling everyone we were one and done turns out I’m actually 10 weeks pregnant with baby # 2! 🥹

We decided after Christmas that we just didn’t enjoy certain aspects of our lives so we decided it was time for a change. The problem was we had so many big responsibilities what with my business and the house that it felt impossible to reshuffle our lives in order to get happy again. So we’ve got rid of it all except for my husbands stable and well paid job.

It’s been unbelievably emotional and scary but so far I’ve no regrets.

Has anyone else just decided to simplify their lives in order to start again? I’d love to hear your stories

9 month old still not eating solids

Hi all! I have a sweet 9 month old boy. I have no worries about him other than he is still not eating solids. He will sporadically taste a little here and there, but otherwise completely refuses it and just wants his formula.

I have made food myself, bought baby food, have given him different foods to play around with and explore texture. I make it as low key as possible for him and am trying to encourage him to play, but he still refuses to eat and mealtimes always end in tears.

I’ve talked to his doctor and I have it set up to have a developmental professional help me out, and some therapy to look at his speech down the line.

Has anyone else experienced this? I just don’t know what to do at this point and I just hope he starts eating something at some point. My baby just seems adverse to it.

Mother in law doesn’t see us (Including her grandchildren) for 10 months because she’s too busy jumping from man to man….

…Then suddenly sends me a message the week I’m due to give birth saying she’s thinking about me and good luck with the birth 😵‍💫 Do I….

Rant about SIL views on solids 🫠

So, my SIL says things with the best intentions but they still make me slowly die inside!

My boy has never slept through the night. Her daughters apparently did from 3 weeks. Bearing in my mind my boy is probably 3x the size of her daughters at 6 months, he feeds at night. Always has.

She’s saying to me that as soon as he starts eating solids he’ll sleep through. Should I believe this????

Also, she said to pretty much push it on him. As the faster he learns to eat full meals the better he’ll sleep.

ALSO, to top actual food with fruit purees 😳

My partner does support me but I can tell that he can easily be swayed by his sister. I don’t have any siblings so, other than friends, I don’t really have family in my ear.

Tell me I’m not being highly strung here! Or tell me that I am 🤣🤣

Rant over!

Some advice please!

My second one is due in Oct and I’m really stressing about the hospital stay. My 3 year old will be in preschool but my partner and I don’t have any help.

Has anyone stayed in the hospital alone overnight and part of the evening while your partner goes home to care for the toddler?

I have to have a c-section so I’ll probably be at the hospital for a minimum of 2-3 nights. I don’t know what I’m going to do! 😢
