Male staff at nursery

My son’s hours at nursery have been extended which means the staff has changed for those hours. His original hours only had female staff.

Has anyone else ever been in the situation where you feel uncomfortable knowing your child has a male member of staff?

The thought of an another male (other than my husband) changing my son’s nappy makes me feel uncomfortable. How would I approach the nursery to tell them 😬

If your really unhappy with that mention it to the nursery

... but Why is it making you uncomfortable that a man stranger is doing it but not a woman stranger .kinda sexist and judgemental that.. do we only look at men as dangerous now as id like to say woman can also be ones to watch !
At end of day hes just doing his job .but im sure they wont do anything ur not happy with

I wouldn't feel comfortable with a male member of staff working at my child's nursery in that capacity, thankfully haven't experienced that.
But You should definetly speak to them about it. I think it's best to be upfront and ask all the questions first, and then let them know what you're uncomfortable with.
Their reaction will probably help indicate if it's still a suitable place for your baby.

Pros and cons of having a childminder versus nursery

Hi, my baby will be looked after by an ofsted registered childminder as there were no nursery places available near me. I’m wondering about putting baby down for a waiting list for a nursery in the future but childminder seems a bit cheaper too and only has 4 children at a time (including her own toddler). What things helped make people’s decisions over childcare placements? Thank you xx

Potty training mums - are you all using a travel potty when out & about? 👀

What are you doing when your toddlers need the loo & you're out & about?

I dislike the idea of carrying around wee & poo 😬 but is that my only option? 😂

Me being unreasonable?

Am I the bad one for not jumping over the moon when in laws are coming to visit? Can't I just be ok/tolerate it?
I feel like my husband is putting so much pressure on me and blames me for being in the middle of awkward situations when they're here that indeed when they come to visit I'm not overly excited. But it's like he can't deal with them as his parents and I'm supposed to be the bad one..

Husband travels, I stay at home.

My husband travels for work. We have a 3 month old little boy. He’s been away for a month, and this week he was home and now he’s back on the road for a month. I have this like raging angry depression everytime he leaves. My body and mind are so exhausted. I just wanted to post because I need some friends. I’m from Missouri, idk if anyone else is, but if you are let’s be friends! Trying to save for a new vehicle and a down payment on a house as well. 🤸‍♂️just hate the processs.

Am I overreacting ?

I'm a little over a week postpartum.

Husband hasn't really been helping much unless I nag, and then he complains about helping while helping. I stopped asking for help, it's just less trouble to do it myself even if I'm burnt out.

He also gets irritated anytime I bring up how I'm feeling, or he'll flip it and be like "well I feel like that too!". But like, if he feels like that he should really just say it another time and not when I'm having a breakdown. So I also stopped expressing how I feel.

Well the final straw for me is that he keeps bringing up his ex and his son that they had together. One of the things he said that stuck with me, was that nothing compares to the feeling he had when he had his son with his ex. He said that that feeling can't be replaced, not that I want to replace his son with our son, but it still hurt to hear.

I'm starting to feel like he doesn't want to be with me, and he would rather be with his ex.

I don't know he seems miserable with me, and he's making me miserable too.

Potty training (1year old)

My son turned 1, two weeks ago and I was thinking if I can potty train him by November, since he will start the daycare in November.


Is it possible? Did anyone of you already potty train a baby before 1.5 year old ?

Do you guys have any suggestions on things that might help?
