Is this okay ?

I feel like a bad mum but currently on my own while dad takes our eldest out and I really need the toilet (tmi but 3 days post C-section so going toilet obvs takes a little longer than normal) I’ve put my boys in their cot like this with camera . Is this okay just while I go toilet 😅

With my first I would do this without hesitation but it just feels weird leaving two babies?

(The bathroom is literally 5 steps from their room)

Looks fine to me! Are you taking dulcoese? Not dulcoLAX - dulcoease helps soften stool and was essential for me post c section! Get hubbyy to gran when he’s out if you dont have it!

This is fine. You are watching them and they are safely in the bassinet. I completely understand being worried but you are just going to the bathroom, thats normal!

There is nothing and no one called a “bad mum”. You are doing everything you can. Don’t put yourself into that guilt. We’re human.

Potty training

Hiya, my son is going to be 2 in july, i believe he’s showing signs of needing to be potty trained (he is putting his hand in his nappy when he poops and taking it out ect)
The thing is he cannot talk yet which i’m worried will be a struggle to communicate when potty training
Does anyone have any tips or has been in the same situation? Or how to start potty training in general with him as i have no idea.

posting as incoginito as don’t want people knowing this much about my child, thank you :)

Thank you so much in advance x

8 months post partum and this is the messiest my house has EVER been

I'm having a moment because I just wanted to go to church today but couldn't because the way my son's first morning nap fell so couldn't get us ready in time. I managed to shower whilst he was asleep and now I'm just sat on the side of my bed in my towel crying and looking at the clothes on the floor on the bedside, clothes on the floor in front of the bed and then some more in the sitting room. I used to be such a clean organised freak and I get your house can't be perfect with a baby but does it ever get better because this mess is unbearable. A clean house helps me to have an organised mind. I knew having a baby would be hard but this is just A LOT.

Teeth?

Does this look like teething?

Baby has turned 4 months this week… she is inconsolable and is pulling on one ear😥(gnawing and dribbling too but that’s typical for her).
I can’t feel any obvious teeth, and she hasn’t got a fever 🤷‍♀️

My mom hates my husband

What would you do if your mom is constantly making rude comments towards your husband?

She’s just constantly making rude comments and saying how he doesn’t know what he’s doing. My husband is a really good mechanic for heavy diesel equipment, and mining equipment. He knows what he’s doing. He works at one of the highest paying jobs in our state for being a mechanic

And they don’t seem to understand that, he’s tried to offer to help with changing simple parts on their vehicle and every time they deny and take it to a shop and are super rude about it and it really hurts his feelings because he knows he’s a good mechanic.

Every time I talk to her, she’s just constantly saying little things about him and it’s so frustrating

Anxious attatchment

Hey so I'm an anxious person, I've been through an emotional abusive relationship. I'm now dating someone new. Now he's very private. I seen him liking girls pictures on instagram and I got upset I went abit over board I must admit. He's now deleted me of insta and changed his profile to private. He assures me he's not up to anything but said I went a little crazy. He also pretty much ignores me after I 'start a fight' even though I'm trying to get him to understand how I feel. He gets very defensive, I'm immature and shuts down on me. I struggle with that as I need to talk about it. I kinda know what the answer is but when we're actually together we get on great 😬 I've deactivated fb/insta as it's fueling my anxiety too.
