toddler boys

moms I have a 14 month old toddler boy he’s very energetic and I’m thinking about putting him in a sport or some type of activity. What would you guys recommend? He’s already in swimming but I wanna maybe include one more social activity where he’s around kids his age. we also go to the park daily.

14 month old in sports!? my 14 month old cant even walk! swimming is probably so fun for him! i feel like soccer would be an easy one but i dont know if any leagues start that young plus the season is over

Swimming. Never to early to teach them how to swim

Gymnastics. Most places have classes where the parent is out there with them, usually starting at 18 months but some will give wiggle room. Plus you are getting close to 18 months even if you have to wait.

Also womans care centers and libraries have events for toddlers. Like hands on sensory type activities and story time with crafts.
We bought a wooden indoor play gym, have balls in house for throwing, and didnt start working on kicking till either 18 or 24 months, whenever it was on a test from our pediatrician… we cant remember lol.

We do swimming, soccer and gymnastics. We also do a music class where he sorts runs around and dances. It still serves a purpose.

Would you leave, or am I giving up too easily?

Need some honest advice from other mums because I genuinely feel broken.

I’ve been with my partner for 4 years and we have a 3-month-old baby together. I don’t feel like his girlfriend anymore, I just feel like someone he lives with.

I’ve barely been anywhere since having the baby, yet he’s been out for the football, the pub, getting his haircut, went out all day yesterday after work until late saying it was “one drink”, is out again Wednesday , and already has more plans this week. I feel like I’m always at home with the kids while he carries on as normal.

We recently had a huge argument after I found links to OnlyFans creators in his browser history. Whether people agree or not, I see that as cheating because he’s lusting after other women, and his explanations have kept changing, so I’ve completely lost trust.

The biggest thing is how he treats me. If I cry, he ignores me, walks past me, tells me I’m crying “crocodile tears” or shuts the door in my face. I don’t feel loved, wanted or cared about at all. I’ll be talking to him and he’ll just be on his phone, it’s like talking to a brick will.

Yesterday I told him I wanted to end the relationship because I’m so unhappy. His response was that he’d rather keep doing this because he doesn’t want to only see the kids every other day. It felt like he wanted to keep the relationship for the children, not because he wanted me, he will refuse to let me end it as In because of the kids so I’m in this and miserable, every time I explain what’s wrong or try have a convo he goes “oh I’m ignoring u till you’ve had ur episode and calmed down “ imagine trying to break up with someone and everytime it’s like they refuse 😂??

Need advice pleaseee

First tooth?

Does anyone know if this dark spot I’ve circled is the tooth coming through? He’s 9 and half months and no teeth yet so not sure if this is normal?

First time Mum’s

What does everyone’s days look like?

For us it’s nappy, feed, cuddle, sleep (mostly contact naps). I still struggle to shower and eat when I’m on my own. We don’t go out anywhere other than the garden, and I don’t have the mental capacity to play with him very much (which I feel awful about). I’ve tried using a carrier to get things done around the house or to make my lunch, but I find it kills my back after 5/10 minutes. Losing the will to live 😣

Is anyone else freaking out about money? 🫠

My partner and I don’t have crazy high income’s as it is, I’m band 4 full time NHS and he’s band 3 full time NHS (increasing to 4 in a few months).
We’re viewing nurseries now and the cost of childcare is really hitting me.
I’m planing on taking 9 months mat leave, a month of KIT days (2 a week for 4 weeks) and then another month of annual leave, I’ll go back on 2 days a week so that I can work the 2 days he’ll be in nursery but I’m so scared about not earning enough.
Do people have really set plans for ensuring their income stays manageable?
Tips and tricks? 🥹

Travelling with baby!

We’ve done many uk breaks but I know abroad will be a whole new world! Any tips, things that I should bring?! We’ve got a 2 hour flight at 8 months and a 9 hour at 11 months 🫠

Is this normal?

Noticed these 2 white bits behind my daughter’s top teeth. They almost look like more teeth? As she is still a baby, she can’t communicate if it’s painful but can’t get a dentist appointment till end of july
