Child car parking spaces! Need tlc

So I was just in B&Q and the child’s spaces were taken, so I had to park in a small space towards the back, struggle to get my three month old out of the Baby seat in a tight space, then walk across a a car park full of vans with low visibility.

As I walked past the child car parking spaces there is a woman loading her car clearly with no children. I said excuse me did you realise these spaces were for cars carrying children?

In summary, she said yes, but she needed to load and it’s closer. I asked if she would treat a disabled space like that and she said yes she would park in a disabled place if she needed to, because she sees disabled people parking in the children’s spaces.

I pointed she doesn’t have any children in the car and she doesn’t have a disabled badge so she shouldn’t park in either and that she should be more considerate. Then she starts shouting at me and her husband comes out and starts cussing me off.

I just walked away, but I’m feeling pretty good knowing perhaps she will think twice about doing it next time now someone’s confronted her.

What do you think, ladies, was it worth it? I need some tlc!

Am I doing the right thing

My baby had 4 nursery settle sessions. On all but the 4th he was unable to be put down and was only happy to be held. On every drop off he is distressed. I’m not talking a few tears and sobs, as soon as he realises what’s going on he panics clings onto me so tight and pulls himself in closer as if to hide from the staff. Then he is going in screaming and hysterically crying. He is eventually settling once in and has been able to play with some toys which is great. On his first day the nursery asked me to collect him early as he was unsettled. I knew that actually he was due a nap especially as his 1st had been 30mins but the nursery were ignoring his sleepy signs, tried keeping him going till he ended up falling asleep on someone who woke him after 10mins trying to move. Then despite knowing when he has a bottle and me asking not to feed him they gave him a bottle 2hrs early. He was so distressed when I picked him up and it took ages at home to calm him down. It just doesn’t sit right with me how distressed nursery is making him feel. Another 2 issues I’ve thought of is that they remove comforter’s during sleep which will always wake my son up, he is the only non mobile baby in the room and isn’t able to do as much. Yesterday they’d all gone into the garden and he hadn’t. I’ve emailed expressing my concerns but I feel the tone I had in their reply was a bit shirty. I really don’t know what to do😔😭

How would you (like to) respond if you heard your partner swearing angrily at your kids?

You're with a newborn in another part of the house. He's clearly stressed and you're not in a position to take the load off....

Childcare Funding

Hey everyone, I’m a bit confused about the free childcare funding and was hoping someone could help.

At the moment, I get the 15 hours funded childcare. I’ve seen online and heard from a friend that it’s now increased to 30 hours, so I wanted to apply. However, when I log into my childcare account, I can only see the option to renew as normal every 3 months and can’t find anywhere to apply for the 30 hours.

Am I supposed to request the extra hours through GOV.UK, or is it something the nursery arranges? Just wondering if I’m missing something. Thanks! 😊

Im embarrassed

I have a son he's 2 I been raising him alone I don't have any family help I work I'm basically living paycheck to paycheck I texted my son dad asking him for 25 dollars for pull up and wipes no reply I been calling everyone in the state I live to see if I can get pull ups or even diapers so I can on here to see if I can get more information for free diapers a lady on here told me she will venmo the money and she disappeared so I called 211 in my state no help I even called the nearest food pantry no help I don't know what to do I want to give up I know it's hard for everyone at the moment I don't know what else to do

Baby groups

I feel guilty because I've not been to any baby groups with this baby! He's 8 weeks and with my first born I was going to at least 3 a week at this age.
But now I've got a newborn and toddler I feel like my days are just so busy I haven't got the time to go to groups. My toddler goes to nursery 4 days a week so it's not like she's at home either. But I'm still just so busy.
Does anyone else feel the same?
I feel like I should push myself and make the effort but tbh my little boy sleeps most of the day anyway so I don't think he'd stay awake for any groups yet. 😂

My husband bought me flowers and 2 cards and hand written in one of them to tell me how much he appreciated me for everything I do

So my husband is now saying sorry I bought you flower and cards I guess it wasn’t the right time to do that. Which I don’t even know what that means. He is so unpredictable all the time and I just never know what’s going on anymore. I asked him why and he doesn’t give a good answer so now I’m wondering is it something I did or didn’t do? I don’t know I’m so confused.
