Struggling to keep 7 year old entertained😮‍💨

Anyone else struggling to entertain the kids?
They seem to get bored within minutes especially my 7 year old? I love her to bits but she would rather ask me 101 questions than go and play if she plays she ends up bossing her siblings around and they don't like it. They would rather independent play. 🫠

Why do I feel like a single mum when I’m not

Since my baby was born I’ve been pulling all the work, I don’t mind to do a bit extra but my husband works from home which means he can help more. When we met we talked about that he will be an involved father but I feel like I always do everything, every feed, every nap and every bed time my baby is nearly 9 months. Also he always moans how tired he is and yesterday I pulled a 15 hour shift looking after our daughter and he didn’t do anything I’m exhausted mentally, physically and under appreciated .

I don’t know how long I can go on.

Toddler cutlery....non plastic

Need to see what non plastic plates, bowls & cups y'all use for a 20 month old... pictures & brand names are helpful!

What do you do when you don't think a child is good to hang around with?

So my 3 year old has a friend who likes to lie/ get him in trouble / aggregate him etc etc. I feel she bring out the worst in him. He's much calmer around all other friends. I'm sick and tired of defending him and have no fun on these play dates. I find the mom extremely hard work and she thinks her kid is never in the wrong.

16 week old doesnt want to grab toys

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

Mother in law

My mother in law is due to stay with us from tomorrow for a week or so.
There's an event that I've been excited about for a month now that we can do as a family (mum, dad and baby)
I don't particularly want my mother in law to come with us because I just want it to be a family thing we do as we don't do too much as a family of three.
Am I wrong to be thinking like that or asking my husband?

Boyfriends parents are coming tomorrow

Stressed mom of 2.

My house is a disaster as we moved in back in March. I finally got the 2nd bedroom cleaned up a bit and swapped the frame so they can sleep comfortably but its not done.
Boyfriend cooked tonight but didn't wash the dishes or wipe the counters as he usually waits until the next day.
Living room has a path to get to the couch and to the rest of the house. Downstairs bathroom still has clothes on the floor. Do I clean what I can before my 3 yr old goes to sleep while my 5 month old sleeps or just leave it a mess? Boyfriend says his parents can take care of the kids while I clean tomorrow. Its almost 2am now
