Hand chewing

My baby found their hands about a month ago and she is constantly got it in her mouth ever since, she spits her dummy out to have it, does it in the bath, when we are playing etc. When does it stop being so obsessive as it often makes her sick and she gets angry at her fist too 😂 I understand its developmental but its so constant I didnt realise it would be all day in her mouth. I have also tried teething gels as I think shes teething a little too.

Mother-in-law trauma

So mother-in-law is coming to stay for the weekend after multiple years I get her reasons for wanting to spend time with her grandson, but we also moved away for a reason when I first had my son. She walked around a whole baseball game claiming it was her kid one time she told me she would stab me and my fiancé and our kid without us. Said that I was just such a selfish person for madding the decision to move to a state that is only an hour away after coming back from a state 14 hours away when her son decided it and then proceeds to tell me I can’t call her son baby who I’ve been married to for seven years…. Now she’s staying for the weekend after years of not seeing her. I don’t know how to react. I don’t want to fake and be happy while she oversteps her boundaries with my son. I also don’t wanna fight. And don’t wanna talk to her. What if she gets offended if I don’t wanna talk to her. What would you do?

Girls would you be annoyed if your partner was like this.

Ok so I need advice. I have been with my boyfriend 8 months. And we have been out for dinner like 2 times. Never been for lunch. He always says how tight for money he is. It’s ALWAYS me making plans. I even messaged him the other day saying can we have a date night on Friday night and even stated it can be anything just some quality time together etc. and he said oh don’t think I could this weekend it’s my sons birthday and I’m taking him away for the day. Which is completely fine but I’m off work on Saturday why can’t I also go? Or at least be Invited. He went to a concert 2 weeks ago and told me he spent 100 pound yet if I was to suggest going to a concert he would say no. I also want to go on holiday or atleast go to a city break at the end of September as I am off work for 8 days and my daughter who is 6 is going on holiday for a week with her dad. So I am literally free and will really miss my daughter but he says he doesn’t think he will be able to afford it. Yet this man works 5 days a week 7am-5pm above the minimum wage he could definitly save. Or I even suggested paying for most of it because it’s his birthday soon. Should I talk to him face to face and ask why he never plans anything with me?

Potty training tips PUH-LEASEE

Would you leave your children aged 5&3 with your mil and go abroad on a holiday for 4 nights?

5 year old had sleepovers previously but 3 year old never did.

I asked my husband to ask his mum first, to see her opinion but he is asking me I should make my mind up first, which is right?

YouTubers on every platform 😭

We banned YouTube from our household a while ago because it’s so easy for the kids to click through and watch something totally weird from the grown ass adults making “kid” videos. We’ve used platforms like Netflix, Disney, Hulu, etc and recently they are FULL of the dang YouTubers we wanted to get away from 😭😭😭😭😭 I have an almost 8 year old, 7 year old and 5 year old. Platform recommendations???

Baby eating purées

My son will be 5 months old on the 22 and at his 4 month check up his pediatrician cleared him for purées and he has been actually eating it since the second go at it. He is still drinking his bottles but will also eat 2oz of purées sometime even more when I mix formula and rice milk into it. Is anyone else’s baby doing this? Am I over feeding him? He is still showing signs of being hungry but I’ve read I’m not supposed to give him more than 2tbsp a day?
