Financial help

Does anyone know of what emergency funds could exist to help someone with like 250-300 left of rent? Unfortunately due to an emergency and paycheck timing issue I’m short literally that much, I have until the 1st to pay it, I get paid the 7th which is too late for them to accept the payment. What can I do? I’m going to try to overdraft my card for it tomorrow but I don’t know if it’ll decline or not. If it doesn’t then I’ll be fine, but if it does I’m not sure what to do.

What are your thoughts on Tonie boxes?

I'm going to a 1yo birthday party soon and I'm looking for some gift ideas.
What do you think about Tonie boxes?
Are they good or is it mostly just marketing?
would that make you happy to receive one?
would it be suitable for a 1yo gift?

thanks ladies!

Looking for my bestie 👀

Hey all! I'm Jade, I'm 29 from Australia,
I'm honestly just looking for a bestie I can talk to about everything.
I have 3 special needs kiddies and I just love a good chat, messaging, voice notes, calls, or walks if you're close.
Would be down for any messages!
(Don't judge my horrible hair, I'm growing it out after rocking a buzz cut 🤣)

Boyfriend's Co-worker

Ok ladies, please be honest. How would yall feel if your boyfriend told you that a woman that he works closely with, who he talks about several times a night every night already, was the "nicest woman he's ever met in his life". It really hurt my feelings and he thinks I'm being ridiculous. Would you be ok with it or would you feel hurt?

Follow up question: did anyone skip playgroups when your other children were newborns?

Based on my other poll about bringing ACTIVELY sick children to playgroups, did any Mum's skip playgroups when your other children were newborns? Due to the lack of proper judgement from others, I plan on skipping all playgroups for the first few months after our 2nd is born (probably until he is 4 months). To me it isn't worth the risk at ALL, rather not have one person's choice equal to a hospital stay for us. Just wondering if any other Mums have done something similar? Also es I am aware I can leave our 2nd with my husband and just take our toddler... But he can still take something home with him, so again not worth it
