I have at times sat my LO on my lap in a pickle like that 😅 it's a little gross but so is what comes out of her so 🤷‍♀️ Sometimes we just gotta do what we gotta do!

I just bring him with me. He sits or lays on the bathroom mat just staring at me. He's 7 months old but finds it amusing when I go toilet.

Have a rocker in the bathroom if they're small. If they're a bit older.... bring them. It's gross but hey. Or if you can place them in their crib and watch them on the monitor. Do what you gotta do do mama 😀 😆 🤣

Change your mentality to it’s not gross and the solution is quite simple. Bring them up w a toy and leave the door open. They don’t know what you’re doing at that age

Put her in the crib and go

Ew no I just started letting my toddler come with me only because he’s gonna climb out of whatever I put him in and follow me regardless and if the bathroom door is closed homeboy will lose his little mind! But I hate bringing him with me because he’s just way too smart and aware. He just watches me pull my pants up. Yesterday he tried to help! I guess because I’ve been teaching him how to pull his own pants up and we’re potty training (he’s 19 months but we’ve got an almost 4 month old so trying to be done with double the diapers and wipes). I like that I can show him “see we sit on the potty “ but also don’t like to show him myself because I’m a girl. But it has helped him sit longer. With my baby though (and my toddler if he’s in his high chair and can’t get out) I 100% go by myself and just hear my little spawns screaming 2 seconds later. Like good Lord kiddos let me pee! These kids be thinking a couple minutes in the bathroom means I’ve abandoned them.

I take my nearly 8 month old with me, bath support on the floor and just sing or talk to her. I just thought peice of mind and good to associate the bathroom with going to the toilet so when she's bigger

I’m just going to say it.. you can put your child in the crib and go to the restroom guilt free like you shouldn’t have to bring your child into the restroom with you

You have to find a safe place for her. With second LO it was just his crib. With first LO we had a play area on the floor with toys in it..
came in handy for sure

I just put my boy in his bath seat in bathroom with me

We bought a playpen and filled it with toys. She still goes in it at nearly 17 months. She can’t get out and is completely safe

Am I being unreasonable?

For context I'm SAHM and my partner works from home 7.30-5:15ish without a lunch break. Very busy and on the phone most the day
He's started going to the gym with our neighbour who annoyingly wants to go at 5:30pm every day (No kids)
Every day it turns into an argument of why he can't just go at 6pm. There is no reason to go during the only bit of time you get to spend with your daughter. He thinks I'm being controlling. I reply the gym is more important than spending time with your daughter. It's starting to drive me insane. Am I being unreasonable??

Frustration rant about screen time shaming.

I constantly see moms posting about how their baby is screen free, how they leave their baby to play and get on with stuff and it’s draining to see.

my daughter is 9 months in a few days and does not use screens unless absolutely necessary to keep her distracted whilst I have to do something or we are travelling far and she is bored of all her toys and snacks.

I have a fomo baby who is VERY active. Attention span in toys is 2 seconds, gets bored very easy, is very clingy. I constantly rotate toys, get new toys, leave her to play, give her snacks but sometimes it’s not possible to do things with her after she’s bored of all her toys and snacks. I also give her things that are not toys like plastic cutlery and Containers etc but still it lasts 5 mins.

So I have to give a little bit of screen to just quickly get some stuff done. And I do feel that there’s some type of shaming online and in real life. Even from influencers who constantly say ‘this is my baby playing without screens whilst I do things’. But it’s easier when ur baby isn’t a fomo baby. I feel like parents or moms with very fomo active babies are very misunderstood.

I do want to say my daughter has about 10 mins of screen time in a whole week if that. But also does mean a lot of household work is not done or is done very slowly :/

Also any advice would help

Holiday

A few questions for those who have travelled with a baby:

✈️ How old was your little one when you took them on their first holiday?

🧳 What were your must-have items that you were really glad you packed?

🌞 Were there any things you wish you’d taken with you or anything you packed that you didn’t end up using?

We’re taking our little girl on her first holiday soon and I’d really appreciate any tips or advice from those who’ve done it before. Thank you! ❤️

Wanting a divorce?

Hey everyone! I just need some advice , me and my husband been married for 3 years and we have a 19 month old . I’ve been wanting a divorce bc we gotten married way too early bc he was in the military but not anymore. Anyway the reason why I been wanting a divorce is because when I gave birth , he had told me he would stop playing a lot but he didn’t stop for days and nights. It was so bad I remember I’d spend days and weeks alone at night and sleep alone and it honestly made me feel not wanted. He stopped playing as much, only 2 times a week but he is always on his phone and when I try to ask him a question he answers with 3 words or less , it feels like I’m bothering him when I try to talk him at home. But when we are out he is normal and talks. Today he went to go play games bc we got into a fight bc I felt like he didn’t want to talk to me. I just need help or anything helps !!(he doesn’t want a divorce but I keep bringing it up )

Routine does not fucking exist

Been baby wearing for the last hour and half.. managed to put him down in moses basket settled. My middle child (3yrs old) decides to go for a poo UPSTAIRS and make all manner of noises and now baby is awake 😮‍💨😫 nature called for me too, im writing this as im sat on toilet emptying my bowels.. all while waiting for the baby to start crying for me. Fuck sake. I'm so touched out. My kids can not be quiet, have to be making noise every second. We have a big house and even the furthest room baby can't settle for long. I csnt be wearing him alllllllll day.
Nothing is getting sorted and I'm going out of my mind. Eldest is 4.5yrs old and winds me up every chance he gets. No point to this I guess
