I can watched frozen or moanna anymore

I’m not strict about the tv being on but I am strict with what’s on the tv.

My 2 year old daughter loves frozen and moanna but I can’t do them anymore, I think I know all the words and they annoy the hell out of me.

Any other suggestions of nice Disney film that maybe aren’t obvious but suit a young toddler? She still plays while the tv is on, it’s more for when I’m cooking breakfast and trying to get organised.

What gives a more positive first vibe (UK ish)

30 hours funded childcare for non working parents/a household with a non working parent

Or

45 hour funded childcare for working twin parents specifically for the 'extra twin' the first one would just get the standard 30 hours funded.

Just pondering based on the other poll.

What’s your daily routine?

I need help with ideas. Every single day we come home and sit on the couch after work. Our 3 year old is in school until 3 and goes to bed by 9 most times.

How do you stay active during the week vs being a couch potato?

Husbands/ partners going out

This is something I’ve struggled with for years!! My husband will go out most / if not every weekend! And he doesn’t see anything wrong in it as he works hard all week, so wants to have a few drinks at the weekend but I hate it and he doesn’t see anything wrong with it. Am I being dramatic?

Who’s wrong?

Me and my partner went to stake and shake to share a burger for a small snack we went to go pick up his daughter and my son from his brothers house my partner asked me I’m going to give my half to my daughter I’m like okay whatever he goes and takes the burger and told her to eat it I got bothered because we were literally at stake and shake he could’ve just got her a whole meal knowing she hasn’t ate yet I told him you would’ve literally bought her a meal he takes away the meal and throws the food at me and told me not to ever say that again if her child is hungry she can have the food she comes first like why get me excited about the burger to give it to his daughter. I’m so fed up and I’m very upset.

My 6 week old wants a burger?

My MIL is driving me up the wall. First of all, my partner as a baby was a very fussy, needy and difficult baby, and she is DESPERATE for our son to be the same- however he is a very low maintenance baby. She regularly tells me we won’t be able to wait until he is 6 months old before he needs to start solids, because he will be too hungry. Anytime I mention something like “he didn’t sleep well last night” or “he’s been spitting up a lot recently” straight away she says “milk isn’t filling him you need to get food in him”. My personal favourite was when my son was 6 weeks old we had a family BBQ, and he became fussy and refused his bottle. She had tears in her eyes as she told everyone he was bored of his milk and wanted a burger from the BBQ. I’d love to sit here and say she was joking, but I don’t think she was. Now (2 months later) everytime he’s unsettled or had a rough night, she says it’s because milk isn’t filling him.

She loves to say she put my partner on solids at 3 months old and “did him no harm”… the toilet bowl would disagree my love xxx

2 children - coping 🥲

I have a 9 week old and a 2 year old, my partner works long shifts so 4/5 days of the week I’m solo parenting from morning until night (he tends to work 8-8 or 9-9).

By the time I’ve put our 9 week old to bed it’s around now (9-10pm) and I literally haven’t had a moment alone all day. Is anyone else in the same boat? How are you feeding yourself 😅? I’ve been ordering meal preps since my partner went back to work, but I can’t afford to keep it up forever. I’ve just got to the end of the day today and thought how and where the hell am I suppose to cook. For our 2 year old I’m trying to batch cook something on the days that dad is home and then relying on cold foods like sandwiches, fruit, cereal and yoghurts etc. finding the time for everything is so hard. Does anyone have any ideas to ease some pressure with this? I’m open to baby wearing but don’t think starting it in this weather is the best idea! Any help is appreciated!
