Is it possible to teach a 10-month-old to share?

When my son turns a year old, he can start at the daycare that works for my schedule (and the daycare schedule runs like a school year, so he starts in August)

I’m trying to teach him some of the skills he’s going to need, such as falling safely, a little bit of sign language, taking naps on a schedule, and stuff like that. One of the skills I’m trying to teach him is sharing toys, and being okay with other people eating different food in front of him without giving it to him.

He seems to be getting used to the food thing, but the sharing toys part has been rough. He doesn’t have siblings (and neither did I growing up) so I don’t really know the dynamics of teaching him this. I’ll pick up a toy, doesn’t matter what it is, give him something else to play with, and pretend that Im really interested in “my” toy. I’m trying to get him comfortable with minding his own business about toys. But he hits and bites and screams and demands what I’m playing with, even if it’s a lot less interesting than what he’s playing with it. He wants to take it just because I’m interested in it. I have tried holding his hands so he doesn’t hit, and sitting still with the toy as though it’s uninteresting. But he still has the same response. I’m not sure if there’s something I’m missing when I’m teaching him.

I don’t want him to get in trouble for treating other children like this at play time. I don’t even know how daycare kids get in trouble. Like, I can’t imagine sending a 1-year-old to the principals office and writing them up for a suspension or anything like that. Lol
But I don’t want him to get kicked out. And tbh, I would be lying if I said I’m not at least a little bit worried that they’re going to think I’m not socializing him right and I’m raising him to be spoiled and mean.

Private Schools

Thanks to this government, my LOs school will be closing 🙄

We’ve looked into moving them to the grammar school in our area and that will be closing too come Aug 26🤦🏽‍♀️

Why would anyone put a tax on ambition!!!🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Husband back to work

My husband goes back to work tomorrow and I'm terrified. He's been amazing this past two weeks, he's looked after the house work, cooking and nappies while I've been focusing on breastfeeding and recovering from my emergency c section but tomorrow I will be completely alone with baby for the first time while dealing with baby blues. (I've made MW and GP aware and they're referring me to get some help with this). Ho did you guys deal with your first times solo parenting while partners went back to work?

Baby food

My son is 13 months what fresh food can I cook him for dinner

Should I leave him or should I work things out ?

So I just wanted to come on here and sort of vent and get a non biased opinion. Me and my partner live with my parents to save some extra money to hopefully move out by the end of the year. My partner has been out of a job for 3 months, I gave him the benefit of the doubt the first 2 months but now i’m noticing he’s not really putting in the effort to look for a job. I work full time and on top of that, getting child care for our daughter, for him to be home ALL DAY play video games, smoke, shit, eat, sleep and repeat. It’s getting harder are the days go by, i have been coming home at 9 to find the room the same way it was when i left or find clothes piled up in a corner just to get it out of the way. I’m not asking him to cook me dinner or make me lunch. I just want help around the house and it seems like even the bare minimum is asking for alot. I’m debating alot if it’s best we stay together or separate. the reason that’s making me want to leave him is the fact he called his parents to tell him my parents are abusing him!! (by making him to chores around the house BTW) He’s not working, yet thinks doing house work/yard work is abusing him? making him a “slave” to my parents .. like bro ur not working, u don’t look after our daughter, u don’t actively look for work.. WHAT EXCUSE DO YOU HAVE?! Mind you, homeboy BEGGED and CRIED to my parents to let him move in with us because his parents were doing the same thing and “abusing” him by making him clean after “everyone” and they would actually physically abuse him. Now.. he’s claiming he’s forgiving his parents and now hates my parents for “abusing him” by making him do house work. I’m just so mad yall .. this has been happening for 3 months and my parents gave him until the end of june to find a job or he’s out.. i tried fighting and standing up for him but Im ready to give up.. should i or not? /:

I think I need Nanny 911

So my girl is very strong willed. There is no telling her nothing. She wants what she wants when she wants and how she wants.

My mum said I used to be like this too when I was younger. None of my siblings were. No matter how many times I got spanked or told off I just wouldnt listen and do it again. I'm Caribbean so I didnt come from a gentle parenting background either, I was just very strong willed.

Any who going back to my daughter. She is 2.5. Peak of tantrum phases, hits, bites, shouts, wants her way.

We have tried Everything! Nothing works. Nursery are having a hard time also. (to clarify we don't spank her)

Whats crazy is she never used to be like this. It's once she started nursery there was a shift in behaviour.

She had the biggest meltdown on he plane the other day. (Like we were those parents. Trying to calm her and correct her behaviour while other looked in horror!!!)

Any tips?
What can I do?

Does your husband help at all around the house?

My husband works full time. Technically his hours are 730-5 m-f and sometimes saturday half days but he somehow doesn't get home till almost 8 every day. I work one day a week, 13 hours, but im also a student and we have 4 children ages 1, 4, 4, and 4. I do absolutely everything. I clean the house do tje laundry do the dishes cart the kids where they need to go schedule appointments pay bills I do absolutely everything. Today was a particularly long day the kids were melting down all day and I was just extremely drained, however my mom did come over to help clean and take me to lunch with my 1 year old. My husband gets home from work and I ask him to help me clean which is not something I do often if ever, to which he replies with the fact that he worked all day hes exhausted and doesn't feel like cleaning and basically said that my mom was supposed to come over to help me clean so what was I doing all day. He said he'd help with laundry while we watch our show, so I clean everything sweep dishes switching laundry loads all the stuff and then we get to the show and he proceeds to fold like maybe 3 things. He knows my love language is acts of service which is a topic we converse about a lot. After pointing out he didn't fold much he starts making moves on me (he tells me his love language is "physical touch specifically sexual physical touch") and after I tell him no he proceeds to become super irritable and short with me. This happens all the time. He never does a thing besides his obligations as a dad and sometimes gets the older kids ready for bed while I put the baby to sleep. Im just tired. There was a time where he was bedridden due to a motorcycle crash and I was pregnant with our rainbow and for months I worked full time 12 hour shifts taking care of sick patients, only to come home and take care of him, our three girls, our house, our bills, our everything on top of being full time school. I didn't get a restful pregnancy like I deserved and this is supposed to be my rest time but I feel like it just gets rubbed in my face. He says he doesn't expect to come home to a clean house every day but I cant maintain its cleanliness alone and if its not somewhat in order I can't perform my daily functions as an extremely busy mom. Lots of meat to this post theres a lot going on but I just feel like he thinks him going to work is his only contribution to our family.
