Very specific question about nursery drop offs (UK)

My son is starting nursery after the summer and we've been shown the cloakroom and where his peg is etc, but my question is, I have his baby sister who will be in a pram when we're doing drop off, if you have a sibling with you when you do nursery drop off, does the older child get sad that their sibling gets to stay with you? Or do they not realise? Also how do you navigate the pram in the cloakroom? Is it busy and hectic or do most parents dip in and back out again quickly? I don't want to get in people's way but I need to bring her lol. The cloakroom isn't huge.

my eldest was happy to go to daycare and school, so having siblings that stayed home with me wasnt upsetting to her. She mostly showed off the baby to her peers, they love getting a look into the pram xx hopefully you have a similar experience!

Husband & MIL

Can someone please tell me if this was rude. I don't feel like this a huge let me get divorce situation but I also know progressively it will bother me more. My MIL at the beginning was always being rude to my husband and giving me back handed comments; she noticed that her "help" was not needed as much as she thought, she's used to being needed when it comes to caring for babies in her family bc the parents lack basic parenting. Now she's always on my husbands business, 5 years in and I'm noticing my husband has mommy issues. His mom was very manipulative and was present but not hands on with them. Long story short she was rude to

Now to the message:
I discussed to my husband that when my child goes over to his parents or my parents; he's there so his grandparents can enjoy his company not for them to take care of him. Why did I say this? Because I noticed that both parties lack patience. So why would I put my child in uncomfortable situation, they're not bad grandparents but if you didn't parent your own children how can you do it with a grandchild, my husband knew that I work really hard for my son to not have screen time. Well, his grandma gave him the iPad before bed, my son comes home with dad the next day a complete feral child crying to watch something on the TV. I asked him if he has screen time with grandma and he said yes. He shared dad fell asleep and he slept with grandma and grandpa. I also shared with my husband that I don't like that. I don't want my child sleeping with anyone. My husband shares that my mil asked when he was going to visit____, another state. idk what she's thinking but we're not in financial place to be traveling, but that's non of her business. Not only that my husband cannot watch our kid all day and night. Like hell need some screen time. Literally, it takes a lot to not have screen time. Not only that but I have noticed that he allows our kid to walk behind him I parking lots, doesn't pack his essentials properly like water bottles etc. so why would I be okay with him taking our kid to another state with my MIL. Also, my mil gave my son gum, and when he was a young toddler they almost gave him peanuts like that little seed snacks.
Considering how pushy she is I messaged her and said the following, I also told her she's more than welcome to take my husband to her trip since my husband wants to be baby by her at his grown age and she wants to do what she didn't want to do before;

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.

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

3 kids & confused lol

So I have 2 toddlers & a baby
3.5 years, 1.9 years and a 5 month old.

I’m just questioning if I’m failing or if this is normal.
I’m having a hard time keeping things organized. Laundry is a constant. Washing, folding, putting away. Am I the only one that is struggling having the time to keep things organized and put away? I try so hard to keep tank tops, short sleeves, long sleeves, play clothes put away in the exact spot. All that with 10 mins in between feeding and crying and just having to console, break up an argument about a toy and feeding my infant. Is this normal or am I behind??

Time without my babies

I think it’s crazy to me my fiance thinks I can’t leave the house with the baby. I’m a sahm and he works 7 days and most of his schedule is from sun up to sun down….
I have a daughter coming into this relationship and when I have to get her and he’s home I’ll say hey I be back and he goes I just got off work and you want me to watch the babies.. uhh yes they’re you’re kids. Or sometimes I run to the store or pick up my oldest and if I leave the babies he complains or comment about it. When I get home he say you sure do know how to turn a 30 minute trip to an hour and it’s like damn do I not deserve time away from the babies I’m here every single day with them. If I want to go out to an event I have to ask my mom to watch him because he’ll complain that he has the kids for 2-3 hours .now he tells me to take 1 and I’m like why when you go to the stores or have to run errands you’ll just do it without even offering to take one of the babies 🙄🙄 mind you he ask for these kids and I told him I don’t want to feel like I don’t have a personal life just because I have kids and he said he won’t let that happen. With my first child’s father he never acted like this and he was the bread winner and I was the sahm .

Potty training at nursery

Our 21 month old has started potty training over the weekend with some success. I asked nursery if she can be taken to the potty regularly and should I bring her training knickers in.

The reply was due to the potty/toilets being far away (they are across the nursery ) this is a challenge. Can encourage her to go when necessary.

Wondered how everyone else's nursery continues to implement the potty training progress made at home. I worry it'll be 2 steps forward at home and then 2 steps back on nursery days.

Thanks
