What toys do you place in front of baby during tummy time to encourage them to grab? Mine is only interested in faces and no interest in grabbing toys. Just babbles away and rolls back over lol

Am I being selfish?

I could really use some outside opinions because I’m feeling so torn.

My grandma’s funeral is on Friday, and it’s a 3½-hour journey each way. I have an 8-month-old baby, and my ex-partner (who I still live with) has offered to stay home and look after her.

I really wanted to go to the funeral on my own so I could just be a granddaughter for the day and grieve properly. I love my daughter more than anything, but I know I’d spend the whole day worrying about bottles, three meals, naps, packing everything, and keeping her settled after a 7 hour round trip on public transport.

My mum wants me to bring my baby (and my ex) because not much of our immediate family will be there, and she wants my Grandma to have as much family present as possible. She feels really strongly about it, and thinks I’m being lazy and selfish and now I feel incredibly guilty.

Am I being selfish for wanting to leave my baby with her dad for the day so I can say goodbye to my grandma properly? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I’m feeling so overwhelmed.

Parenting differences

My son has a receding hairline. In the two corners, it’s already kind of bald. He’s 8 by the way. His trajectory leads him to likely go bald early, due to his dad, grandpa, and so on being bald. He complained about it one day and I told him it’s ok, gave him encouragement, and showed him what to do to cover it. He has a tiny fro. Additionally, I have one small bald spot near my hairline as well. I said something along the lines of, I have a spot too and I’ve never had hair right there and how it’s perfectly ok.

For whatever reason, the conversation just came up about it, and my fiance said that I’m wrong for telling him about my spot too because I’m essentially saying, “your hair is f****d up and mine is too”. Instead, he said I should have only tried to build his confidence, which I did do, but I also did not want him to feel alone. Do you all think there was something wrong with what I did/said to my son?

Anyone else’s husband/partner giving them the ick right now??

My son is 9 weeks old and is our second child - hubby is very supportive and is great with our toddler. The past few weeks however I’m finding that little things my husband do are starting to get on my nerves so much such as, being in the bathroom for so long or always being on his phone and distracted. I think some of it is resentment as he seems to just mindlessly cruise through the days whereas I have to ask if I can have shower and am constantly thinking about the children’s needs.

We’ve yet to have sex since the birth and I know he is eagerly waiting for me to be ready but right now I just don’t want to with the way he’s being. Like I’m just not attracted to him currently… It’s our 10 year anniversary in August and I keep asking about doing something special like going away for the weekend as I’d love for him to show a bit of romance but he just dismisses it saying it’ll cost too much.

Im guessing this will pass but wanted to see if anyone else is feeling the same?

Need some advice

I have a 4 year old son who is currently enrolled in soccer camp. So far he has attended 2 days, the first day he said he didnt like it because he was sweating a lot, and the second day another slightly older child was mean to my son. My son told me he doesnt like soccer camp because ita scary and he told me he had a bad dream about soccer camp and the little boy who was mean to him. I talk to my in laws about it, they think he needs to finish the camp to face his fears. Even thought I slightly agreed, indont know if my heart can take seeing him so anxious and unhappy. What should I do? Should I make him finish it? Or pull him out all together?

I am so angry!!!!

So Mr 5 done this yesterday in a fit of rage! Its a brand new $1200 TV. So of course I sent him for a time out as I was fuming i could of smacked him (i know thst wouldn't have solved anything) and then he trashed his room ill add photos of that in the comments. Though he is becoming out of control and I cant punishment him because every time I do have either puts holes in the walls, breaks things and attacks myself or his siblings.

AITA?

Hi so let me know am I the arsehole and ungreatful or is this is normal reaction.
Okay so I feel like maybe I’m being spoilt especially since some people get nothing or don’t even have parents around them but I’m 24 and I love my mom but she barely knows me as a person so for my birthday I always receive things I just don’t really like or have no use for. For example when I was 19 she gave me a child’s stamp with my name on and a unicorn rubber… this year I got a serving bowl and plate?? I’ve never had guests over for a dinner. Like I know I should be greatful but it’s upsetting as it’s so obvious she doesn’t know me personally and she spends like a decent amount of money on them so it’s frustrating because with that there is so much more I would have preferred like I just really wanted a water bottle or some makeup. AITA for getting upset as an adult
