Havens holidays

Has anyone got experience staying in any of the caravans at a havens resort? I’ve never been to a holiday park/nor stayed in a static caravan but I’m planning on a family break and I’ve got a toddler and a 3 month old.

Does anyone know if there’s usually any space in the double bedroom for a travel cot?

Funnily enough I’ve just come back from Haven yesterday!
When we booked ours we had a look at the floor plans of the caravans and chose one that had a big room (king bed) and lots of space each side of the bed!
I took his next to me cot with us so that might be a bit smaller than a travel cot but there was still a good 30cm spare.

If you get given one that doesn’t have enough space I guess you could try and see if you could be moved to one that has space or perhaps sleep on the sofa bed (providing it has one) x

Been a few times we love them, the caravans in the new one in skeg are quite spacious x

I stayed in one in April and it was a silver caravan, and I took my travel cot with me and it fit at the end of the bed. X

We love haven holidays xx

I have been to a few now. Definitely look at the floor plans. Normal savers will be to small. Bronze you might be able to fit on at the end of the bed if not enough space down sides. Silver and up you should be ok (again check the floorplan) you can also fit a chicco next to me between the 2 singles and it comes flush to the mattress. I am taking my two (4yrs and a baby who will be 2 months) at the end of the month.

How are you doing it all?

My husband is not happy with our sexlife. I don't do it enough and don't do porn star performance.
I try to pour into myself regularly, skincare, hair, light makeup, dressing up, gym and dance classes.
He listed these things out like they were a problem. I'll ask him to watch the kids so I can xyz. Gym and dance classes are normally after I put the kids to bed but thats when he wants my time and attention.
He literally argued for an hour last night. He's done this 3 times, always late into the night when im not in the head space and super tired. By the time he finished his point and calmed down, I believe it was 3 am. And we didnt go to bed until 5 am. He wanted sex, I participated and performed it was enjoyable at first but then it got annoying. I was tired and these days sleep always sounds better than sex he just took so long to finish I was actually getting pissed off.
Today I woke up, I threw on jeans and a tshirt. Basic moisturizer and sunscreen no makeup and clipped my hair back. I wanted to cry. Im worried he's gonna keep complaining about my hobbies and I'll end up quitting to keep the peace.
I'm not perfect, dishes and laundry pile up, the hoise isnt always presentable and food isnt always done sometimes he comes home from work to cook and clean. He feels like hes always helping me with my job but no one is there to help him do his.
I have an appointment next month hoping the Dr can give me something to improve mood and productivity.

At home with a new born and a toddler

I have a newborn and a 2 year old and they’re not in day care (by choice- I love being at home with them), but my husband has been on paternity leave for the past 3 months and is going back to work next week. I’m a little nervous to be at home alone with both of them trying to juggle the breastfeeding, meals for my toddler, nap times for both, etc etc. Any tips from moms in similar situations?

Am I doing something wrong?

I just had a C-section last Monday. I am able to do things but not unless I take my pain meds as prescribed. My partner is here to help me but he sleeps very hard and very deep. He can sleep through the baby crying sometimes. He tells me to wake him up and I try very hard but it always leads to us arguing. Last night it was pretty bad. He claims I kicked him in the rib cage which I didn’t. I did however use my foot to rub his sides. Mind you, before all this I tapped him, talked to him, etc. He responded but I guess it was a fluke because he doesn’t remember that. Only when I “kicked” him.

Today I did it all. Got our 5 year old out the door and been with our 2 week old all day. He came home from dropping off our 5 yo and has been sleep ever since because he said he’s only been getting 3 hours of rest. Am I wrong to start resenting him?

Need advice

So I’ve been with my fiance for about 2.5 years. I got pregnant pretty much as soon as we got together. I never wanted kids, but decided that since he already had kids, it would be okay. Fast forward two years later, I’m a stay at home mom who has never not worked a day in her life. My husband is the sole provider and he doesn’t make enough money for us to comfortably live. I can’t go back to work bc we don’t have family and daycare is expensive. All we do is stress about money and fight about stupid shit. I’ve felt like I lost my purpose. I feel like I made a mistake. I’m so in love with him. But this is not the life I want. Idk what to do, or how to tell him.

Small teethers

Can anyone recommend any small teething toys? My 3 month old is quite little, I got some teething sticks but they're way too big for his mouth!
