I am frustrated with my mom

As a mom all I want as gift are for my kids to be happy and healthy and I want them to be happy. A cute artwork is fine with me .

But as a child all I want is for my mom to tell me what she likes what she wants so I can get her f gift. Goodness it’s so hard to shove for her!!!!

I have decided not to do this to my kids. I will tell the my likes and wants so they don’t get frustrated like I am now with my own mom. I want to get her clothes and she like I don’t need anymore. I can’t take it with me when they bury me. I am like but your here now and you can use it now (bought her random clothes) Jewelry - why waste your money on me. It’s not like I need it plus it looks better on you ….. (bought her some anyways)
She likes my garden so plants- why I don’t need it I won’t be able to take care of it (she has several indoor plants and loves my garden spends all day in it) bought her three plant totaling over $100 .

It’s so hard to shop for her…. Getting clues is hard

Going back to work..

How does the nursery funding work? Is it 15 or 30 free hours? I am currently self employed and getting maternity allowance until December 2026.

My daughter was born on 2nd April, so does this mean we will have to wait until April 1st to start the new term, I've heard it's either January 1st, April 1st or September 1st?

Thanks in advance!

If you're only an ally in hindsight once the proper sources verify the obvious, or in theoretical situations, or when it’s finally socially acceptable then you aren't an ally at all, and in many cases you'll be waiting in vain forever

I'm talking about Palestine, about ICE, police brutality, and yes about Nolan wells and all the others just like him. Hindsight is 20/20, have some conviction in the times that matter most

Disability Pay on 1099

Mirena coil- feeling tired and a bit down

I had the mirena inserted this time last week and I’m pretty sure in that time period I’m noticing that I’m feeing extremely tired almost reminds me of pregnancy tiredness and struggling to get out of bed in the morning plus slightly moody. Has anyone experienced this? I do have a 4 month old and 2 other kids so I’m obviously a bit run down at times but I do tend to run on adrenaline quite well and I do think in the last week I’ve felt different and quite foggy I just can’t explain it. Not lost much blood so I’m fine in that department. Unless I’m just genuinely tired and moody I’ve no idea. The doctor who fitted it really recommended it to me over the copper coil but now I’m starting to wish I had the copper one as it’s not hormonal. Would really appreciate anyone’s advice as feeling a bit rubbish x
