Walks//coffee//positivity

Hi all! Just wondering if anyone in the area wants to go for a coffee or walkies any time?
I really need to get out the house and meet people, go out and do stuff! I unfortunately don’t have a car and haven’t been able to use much public transport as it’s been giving me major anxiety but I’ll try my best to travel to anywhere local! SW area 🫶

Nursery being truthful?

I feel like the nursery my lo goes to isn't 100% truthful about the food they offer. They have this whole menu they advertise when you walk around which shows things like fish pie or shephards pie but then in the notes it will say my little one ate cheesy mash or today on pick up they said she refused 'party food' which was chicken nuggets, crisps etc... I look in the app and it says on the menu today is cauliflower and macaroni cheese...

Nursery fees for 2 year olds

We have been told by my daughter’s nursery that the monthly fees are going to jump from 141 a month to 503 a month after 30 hours funding (and before tax free childcare). This is such a huge jump! I queried why, and it’s because the government pay less per hour apparently for over 2 year olds. But now I’m looking online it’s because of the staff ratio is less. Has anyone else had this experience or is it just our nursery?

How do I stop my 3 year old from harming my newborn?

Please someone else me I am at my whits end!! I’ve been struggling with my 3 year olds behaviour for a while now however it’s hit an all time low as he’s starting to hurt his baby sister. He’s constantly hitting her, throwing toys at her, jumping on the couch/bed right next to her and I just don’t know what to do anymore I’m really drained over it all. I absolutely love him to pieces but I feel like I can’t be his mum anymore 😭😭😭😭 I’m trying to go down the adhd route with him however because he’s 3 nobody will even entertain it

Emotional thermostat of the family

I seem to be the emotional thermostat of the family - including my husband.
If I have an off day, EVERY BODY has an off day.
Like this morning I was very tired due to being six months pregnant and sleep being disturbed by all the usual things. My husband gets stressed out dealing with our son so I have to (no I didn’t have to but felt if I didn’t we would have a blow up on our hands) step in and be voice of reason between the two.
I literally can’t have a day where I feel crap and someone else holds the emotional fort?!?
The last time this happened I was newly pregnant and feeling nauseous and emotional, because of this the rest of the household was dysregulated and I broke down in tears at my midwife appoint.
Am I being unreasonable that I feel exasperated by this?
I feel like a total monster because of it, I don’t go around slamming doors or shouting at people - I’m sharper in tone and a bit grumpy yes. My husband gets super triggered by this though.
I grew up in a household where we had to tiptoe around our parents’ moods so I am so aware and so adamant I will not put my kids through that. But what if I am?? 😢
Feeling vulnerable so please be kind in your responses, I know it’s easy to project our own stuff on to other people’s business, especially when we don’t know the full story, so please assume I am a good person trying to do better. Thank you 🙏

Seeking ideas for play time 6mo

Hi all. Sometimes I struggle with finding creative ideas for play time when we have rainy days and spend them at home. We don’t have a lot of toys as we only have small house and I don’t want it overrun with toys everywhere. Any advice welcomed.
Thank you in advance

Delulu baby daddy moving expectations

So this man won his settlement
And wants to move ASAP
While telling me not to renew my lease and do month to month which will raise my rent to 1k.
Btw the only real Income coming in is me monthly I also pay all bills on my own....
Before you ask no he hasn't offered to help me pay bills....none. With his bad credit and no work mixed with my income with good credit but massive debt it'll be so hard to find a spot. To make it worse I have a record.....
I want to renew my lease and just break it when the time comes ya know cause these are terrible people and we live in a mold infested apartment.

Hes expectations are out there compared to the reality of our situation.
If I go behind his back and renew he will FLIP OUT on me. These folks have already found ways to make me suffer by not fixing stuff or deleting work tickets.... Imagine if I do month to month they legit can just boot me whenever
