Birthday Presents…

I know our little ones’ birthdays aren’t yet, but I only have one payday left until then, so I’m trying to get organised! 😅

I’m really struggling to find anything appropriate for her. She’s past the stage of the baby toys now, but there doesn’t seem to be much for this age that’s either fun or educational. Everything seems to be aimed at 3+!

I’ve picked up a few little bits, but nothing really feels worth it. It almost feels like I’m just buying things for the sake of having something to give her. Her main presents are going to be a balance bike and a Baby Annabell, but even the Baby Annabell is 3+, so I don’t know how much use she’ll actually get out of it yet.

Please help! 😂 Send me your suggestions for things that are actually good for this age — toys, educational bits, anything really! I’m struggling! xx

I decided to give my boy a lot of his presents early just because we’re going to be away over his actual birthday and he doesn’t understand it yet anyway, so far he’s got a cleaning kit, little tykes car transporter & cars and a push ride on which he loves and plays with every day and then a spinning chair which he’s warming to and some jelly blox which he isn’t interested in unless it’s to chew on. Then to open on his actual birthday he’s got some new tonies and some books x

My LO has a big brother and plays with everything he does. If it says 3+ but she is generally not a chewer or too rough with things it will be fine if supervised.

I’m the same, trying to get organised! At the moment I’ve got her a bin lorry toy as she’s obsessed every time the bin men come round 🤦‍♀️😅 a toy hoover, tickle me emo, books and stickers books, baby Emma expressions and I’m planning on also getting a Tonies box and trampoline☺️ x

Cheating when pregnant

I just discovered he slept with someone else while I was pregnant. Our baby is now 18m. Not sure how to deal with this?

He broke up with me recently anyway.

Yet I still love him 😫

I want to Feel like myself

I want to feel like myself. But if I'm being honest. I didn't even know who I really was before I had my baby girl. How do you find yourself? As your going thru postpartum and dealing with spending all the free time pumping or grabbing something to eat or a shower etc?

Are you able to completely wipe your bum after a 💩 with just one single sheet of toilet paper?

Someone was bragging to me recently about this, and I just couldn’t understand how that could be, but he said my diet probably isn’t great if I need additional sheets.

Kissing babies

I'm just wanting to hear everyone's opinions because my boyfriend and I still can't agree, I think we are both struggling to understand eachothers pov? When my baby was born we both had an agreement that nobody is allowed to kiss our baby, I made this clear with all of my family and friends very early on. We went to visit his gran a couple of weeks ago after she was sadly diagnosed with a brain tumour and told she has a short amount of time left. It was her first time meeting my child and sadly, perhaps the last due to distance(although we are hoping to visit in the near future🤞🏻). When we was there she kissed him on two occasions and when I pulled my partner on it he thought I was cruel for saying she can't kiss our baby as she is dying. I am happy for her to hold him, cuddle him all the rest .. I just don't want anybody to kiss him as I don't think it's worth the risk. He said there's a higher risk bringing him in the car than having his gran kiss our baby. For background context my father is of a similar age to his gran, he has Parkinson's, dementia and has previously suffered a stroke.. he lives across the water from us and everytime we see him I don't know if it's the last but I continously tell him he can't kiss our baby. I'm worried if we visit again this will be a problem as we argued over this on a few occasions. Am I in the wrong?

I am so fuck piss

I need so one to talk asap

Bestie Needed ❤️

Mom life is so hard and going through it without a bestie seems to make it harder. Would love to talk to more people! Long distance or close by, I’m down for either! Just someone to talk to throughout the day and genuinely laugh with 😊 I have my husband, but as you all know, it’s not the same! I need some true friends in my life
