Older children in toddler spaces…

I love being a mother and I have such material instincts for any child, not just my own but lately whenever we’re out at public events or with other children in public places why do I find myself getting so annoyed with older children who aren’t being watched by their parents.

My daughter is 3 and I’m currently pregnant with my second baby so I’m not as active as I can be but my daughter loves play grounds/ bouncy castles and I understand these things are for every child of age not just toddlers but when there’s specially a play area intended for younger children and older children are still using it and playing slightly rough as they do why aren’t they being told?

I’ve snapped a few times at some children just because they are being too rough or dangerous. I don’t want to have to do this as it’s not my job, however, I’m not having my daughter get knocked over and injured.

I wish there was more separation between older children and younger children or parents would actually step in and ask their child to be more careful about their surroundings.

So so embarrassed 😭

Hello everyone,
Feeling super ashamed right now 😭 my daughter's 3 weeks old and it's been really rough. My husband is amazing and has been so so supportive the entire pregnancy and even now. I had preeclampsia and HG, he's been through a lot also, we didn't expect our little girl to make it.

He's just changed jobs after being offered a better wage, so this month is really tough. All the bills are paid, food on the table, everything my daughter could ever need but left us with 88p until payday.

I forgot it's Father's Day today, he's worked so so hard to support us and we've been through so much recently I forgot it's Father's Day. I know it's noone else's problem, but this is such an amazing community I thought I'd ask here incase someone has the ability to help and I can repay back when I'm paid.

I'm fully humiliated and I have some mum friends on here that's why I'm anonymous😭 if anyone could spare a few pounds so I can get this amazing man just even a big chocolate bar and a card to say thank you for letting me not stress during my pregnancy so I could focus on our health.

Good men are few and far between and he's our rock. Just want him to feel appreciated even though I couldn't ❤️

Thank you in advance and I fully understand I should have remembered, there's just a lot going on recently.

Thanks in advance

co parenting struggles.

Co-parenting is so hard sometimes because why is my baby at the beach at 11 PM? 😣 It’s not something I would’ve been comfortable with, but since it’s his dad’s weekend, I don’t get much say. The hardest part isn’t the lack of control, it’s not being there to watch over him and keep him safe. I pray that our Lord please keeps my baby extra protected tonight and every time I’m not around. 😢🙏🧎‍♀️‍➡️

Caravan holidays

Hi all, I’m looking for a caravan holiday as we have 2 year old and I’m pregnant so we need something cheap and easy. Has anyone got any recommendations or advice? I’ve never done a caravan holiday before !

Fathers days and loss advice

So we are currently renovating our house and a lot of things are being chucked! My husband has just thrown the last present my dad ever gave me in the tip! Unbeknownst to me.

It wasn’t anything sentimental, it was just a large pretty glass vase that holds little house plants in. We always forget to water them and it can actually turn into a bit of “clutter” but once it’s tidied back up with some fresh plants it can look rather nice.

But because we’re being ruthless and a lot of things are being chucked, he thought he’d get rid of it.

“One less thing sitting gathering dust and getting unloved” he said.

Anyway I only lost my day a year ago and I just burst out crying. He did say sorry. It’s his Father’s Day too but I’m struggling to let it drop. I think I’m just sensitive right now.

But I can’t believe he did that.

Any words of wisdom?

Do you trust your intuition

I’ve known this man for about 7 years but now for the past 6 months we’ve moved to a relationship. He has my location, passwords and expects spicy stuff. I’m feel stupid for giving in but I have. I’ve requested to follow his insta but no response yet he can follow 3 of my mutuals. I don’t know I have this gut feeling like he’s going behind my back. I want to ask ask one of those mutuals if he’s talking them as while but I’m not sure if I’m just overreacting or just bring it up to him. I don’t really have anyone to talk to about this.

If this is your first baby and you don't use daycare/ nursery

How do you socialize your baby with other babies???
