Party Snacks

Hey I am trying to throw a party for kids and I’m trying to figure out what kind of snacks I should put out for adults. What snacks would you want to have if you were attending a kids party?

I'm very confused, hurt, and a little PO'd

Okay, well this morning at 4:30 am, I finally woke up because my baby woke up, but I had been coughing all night, so I slept like crap.
So did my husband, because of the coughing.
I felt awful because obviously I came down with something.
My in-laws were expecting us for dinner, but that obviously wasn't happening. So when we called to cancel, MIL suggested that they drive down to pick up the baby and they would take her for awhile so that we could rest. We agreed to that. I sent my husband upstairs to rest because he could barely keep his eyes open. They were supposed to come by two hours from said phone call.
My baby is still kind of a contact napper, so when she fell asleep in my arms, so did I. And when I say I passed out let me tell you I was dead to the world!
At noon, apparently, they rang the doorbell. I was in a room in the back, I did not hear it. They did not call me. They apparently rang the doorbell again. Again I don't hear it. I hear my phone go off, but don't reach it in time, but that's enough to wake me. It was my husband. I look at my phone and just received a text from SFIL that says they're outside. I text him okay. My brain isn't working at a hundred percent, plus I just woke up. I have a groggy baby, and I'm grabbing the diaper bag on the way out. My sister who's staying with us for a bit shouts upstairs "I found her!" And I hear my husband mumble something as I'm opening the front door to head out. I get to the street and there's no one there. I look around confused and then pull my phone out. There's another text from SFIL that says "It doesn't seem like it's a good time" so I still confused and a little angry text back "ok then". From his first text to my last one, it's been maybe 6 minutes.
When I get back in, I'm still confused and now getting angrier because WTH?
While I'm trying to put baby back down. My husband texts me that just when he thought I couldn't be more irresponsible I pull this shit. And I'm just like "what the actual f?" How the fuck is all this my fault.
To top it off, these are the set of grandparents who say they want to be part of my daughter's life, but constantly find excuses when I reach out to hang out, or MIL makes comments like "can't wait to take you shopping" so like obviously you can't be assed about the toddler age, so that's cool.
They apparently proceeded to berate my husband as they drove off. They bitches that they spent 30 minutes out there, but I literally have time stamped texts that show how little they actually waited for.
The best part about all this, is that my sister answered the door and she told them to hold on she would go get me. So why did they leave?
Keep in mind all this happened while I can't fucking breathe properly and keep coughing, so I'm rushing around feeling dizzy while carrying my baby. So then I spent the whole fucking day trying to take it easy while my toddler is running like crazy and my husband who said he wanted to take care of me is just asleep in the bedroom. Thank God for my sister because she was helping with making me tea and soup.

As far as I'm concerned, next time they ask to babysit, I'll say no thank you, and try really, really hard to not say "fuck off".
Anyway, am I wrong for feeling this way? Are they in the wrong for just leaving, then berating my husband?

If your child is a week into potty training do you just whip out the potty in any public place?

My son really needed to go and just running to a corner of the park where the pram was he ended up pooing his pants. I didn’t even know if it was the right thing to have him sat on the potty in front of everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️ but there was nowhere else. Is there anywhere you wouldn’t want your child to go?

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

I love being a mama, but I’m struggling too

I often struggle with the contradiction of being so in love with motherhood but also feeling like I’m drowning. My baby is 10 months old and is the most incredible thing ever, and I love being a SAHM but we don’t have a lot of support and my husband works long hours away from me and baby, and I honestly feel like my old self is completely gone. I’ve asked friends and family around me for support, but most of them just want to come over and hold the baby for a pic before leaving again. I’ve asked my husband if he can cut back on hours and he says we can’t from a financial point of view (he makes good money but is usually gone for 12 hours a day). I don’t want to use daycare or go back to work but I also don’t know how to remember who I used to be, and get support… Any advice?

Random question...

Random question.... what makes you interesting? Do you have any hobbies?

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 🤷‍♀️
