Nursery does not do graduation party

Hey, I’m enquiring as this is my first child

Does anyone else’s nursery do a graduation party for their kids

This is in the Uk

The teacher said they do not do anything for the kids or even take pictures with the kids

My son still has a year left, but I was wondering even when some kids finish this year to go primary school
Surely the teachers should make the kids feel special.

I love the nursery but recently their communication has been so poor & their standards of allowing parents to stand outside in the rain & not allowing us to come inside, not inside the nursery but outside under shelter as they open exactly at the time nursery hrs is stated or a few mins late .

It’s 3 hrs both ways
9-12 & 1-4.

I complained to my son’s teacher & said the receptionist not allowing us to come in is outrageous & for her to answer the call and leave it to a side so parents do not call to enter is not professional.

I’m thinking if I should change his nursery, because the receptionist refuses to take accountability and when I told her about it
She said let’s not discuss another day discuss today and I said I’m going to complain about you.

She always has a mood when seeing parents, she hated working 5 days so they hired someone to work the 3 days & the other girl is lovely.

And the teacher did not follow up with my complaint, I asked for a meeting.

What do I do?

My kid is leaving reception this year and she has a graduation day and a little party after.

Maybe send an email to the nursery’s admin/head office? And if they say no maybe share the idea and if nothings happens you can organize one yourself with the rest of the parents or just make a big fuss of your kid the last day of nursery and you give him his little hat, etc.

Its a nice thing to do so hopefully your kid has it!

My kids nursery, hold a graduation take photos etc, however due to the lack of space they don't allow parents to attend as it wouls be cramped, they do put pics on the parents zone app we use.

My first child went to a private nursery and yes graduation was massive event in the evening they had robes a hat and a photographer along with food, it was crazy. My 2nd child is in a nursery attached to a local authority school. I believe they do a thing in the day with the kids and take pics , but parents not invited.

Help, baby dad problem

What would you do?
Yesterday morning I asked my partner to get up with our 1 year old as I do it every morning and I’m exhausted, he’s a 5am waker. He said he wanted another hour as he was nightshift that night so I said alright and got up and on with it, took baby down for milk. About 30 mins later I went upstairs (he didn’t hear me come up) to find him w*nking off?!! Watching p*rn and pleasuring himself while he can hear his 1 year old playing clear as day downstairs. Bedroom door and living room door wide open. I think what he has done is absolutely vile and at the moment I can’t even look at him. I don’t know what to do from here? I also think if he can do that and get off while he can hear his child playing downstairs he needs to go to some sort of therapy for that? Any advice appreciated.

Do you actively watch your child?

Do you actively watch your child or do you look from time to time when out at the park, outdoor activities, water/splash parks?

Took my LO to the splash park today. She wasn’t feeling it much so we changed clothes and my mom took her to swing. I stayed for a little break. This child I’ll say about 5-6 causally walks up to this lady with his swim pants down to his knees exposed. The lady says nothing. After about 3 mins she asks where his mom was the child didn’t respond, she then shouts out “where is this child’s momma. Hello child’s mother, please get this child away from me.” All while child proceeds to take off the rest of his clothes and runs off. 😳😳 He is now on the floor in the splash park. Mother still not insight. She finally appears trying to get him off the floor with no success he goes to sprint off again running and knocking both him and another boy child about 8-9 on the floor. 😳😳

This was all in the matter of about 7-8 mins. No supervision. Injured another child, and the mother is just nervously smiling chasing after her child. No apology to the mother of the child her child knocked down. Then the momma yelling “get this child away from me.”SMH I could only imagine what’s going through her head. I mean I wouldn’t use those choices of words but had her child been knocked over running away the initial time I guess I get it.

My LO is 16 months and I was already anxious with outdoor adventures. After today I think I’m okay on outings for the rest of the summer. I’ll wait til everyone goes back to school. 😅

Can someone please tell me if I’m overreacting

A while ago i found out my husband was letting his female friend talk shit about me n he was talking shit as well about me and as someone that I love so much it obviously hurt me so bad I constantly think about it and ask myself why he would do that I bring it up because the first time we talked about it you could see on his face that it didn’t really bother him n that he was getting annoyed by the questions i asked him so it feels like the whole thing is unresolved I have really bad anxiety so it pops up into my head quite often I brought it up to him again because I can’t wrap my head around it and as always he seemed annoyed because I asked him why he did it and he said “i said sorry what else do you want me to do” it was in a text btw where he said sorry long story short he said I was just trying to start a argument because I bring up everything when everything is back to normal can someone tell me if I am overreacting

Maama needs help 😭

Hey girls, I really need some advice and would love to hear your opinions.

I have a very active 3-year-old toddler and a 7-month-old baby. My 7-month-old refuses purées and spoon-feeding completely. Every time I try to offer purées, mashed foods, or feed him with a spoon, he gets really frustrated, starts fussing and crying, and refuses to eat.

I’ve tried giving him his own spoon while I feed him with another one, and I’ve also tried distracting him with toys, but nothing seems to help. He just gets upset, and by the end of it, we’re both frustrated and there’s food everywhere.

When I offer finger foods or solids, he’s interested in touching them, squishing them, and making a mess with them, but he hardly puts any food into his mouth. Even when he does, he usually spits it back out. At the end of the day, it feels like he hasn’t actually eaten anything and is still relying entirely on milk.

I also don’t have a lot of extra time to prepare elaborate meals because I’m looking after both kids, so I’m trying to keep things as simple as possible.

Has anyone been through something similar? Is this normal for a 7-month-old? Do you have any tips or suggestions that might help him become more interested in actually eating rather than just playing with the food?

I feel quite sad and worried because it seems like he’s not really eating any solids at all. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. ❤️

Solids?

What’s your 11 months intake of milk and solids? I feel like I’m failing at solids 😢
