Guardians

Bit of a morbid question I know, but can I ask for those of you who have written wills -
Who did you put as guardian for your children and why? (In the event of both you and your partner/husband passing away).
Myself and partner cannot decide on who would be best. (We have different views.) So just wondering who others chose.

We are both in our 30s. So we are thinking if someone is to be a guardian our choices are in their 60s, so they'd be 80 when our children turn 18! 🫣

Does anyone regret having a second child?

My daughter is nearly 20 months, and I’m currently trying to decide whether to have another baby. I was always confident I only wanted one (and took a long time to decide on any at all, to be honest) but now I’m wondering if a bigger family would be nice.

I don’t have a gut feeling either way and really like our current life - we still travel and do lots and have lots of fun as the three of us. I feel like I can see lots of downsides of another (plus we’ve been extremely lucky with our first in terms of health, sleep etc), but I can’t help wondering whether adding someone else to our family is the right thing to do. We have a very small family otherwise, as both me and my husband have lots parents, which also means we don’t have a lot of support around us.

So I wondered, what are others’ experience? Has a second child made life better, or do you wish you hadn’t rolled the dice?!

Has anybody had an amnisure test come back negative but it actually was amniotic fluid

I keep leaking, I’ve been leaking for over a week, but everytime I go to get it tested it says it’s negative, I’m positive it isn’t pee and it doesn’t look feel or smell like discharge, I feel like I’m going crazy

Ready for baby no 2?

Did anyone struggle with going from 0-1 baby but cope okay going from 1-2?
I’ve found it really difficult but I definitely want more than 1 so not sure when to decide about having baby no 2 & if I’ll cope ok?

Black women, I'd like your honest thoughts

I recently bought my daughter a Black doll because it's important to me that she grows up appreciating people of all races. If you saw a white child playing with a Black doll, would you feel offended, uncomfortable, or would you see it as a positive thing? I'm genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives and understanding how it feels from your point of view.
