First christmas

Baby’s first Christmas this year and I’m trying to get organised for Christmas.

His birthday is in January so he’ll be about to turn 1 by time December rolls around, anyone with kids that age could you tell me what kind of toys your child liked to play with ? Or things you bought that were worth the money for that age. With his birthday being right after, I want stuff that will hold his interest year round as he grows. TIA

Why would you wean your baby at 4 months?

In a non judgmental way I just genuinely would like to hear of people who wean their babies at 4 months, regardless of how well they sit or swallow. I hear the argument that they don’t need to necessarily sit or swallow too well yet but it seems like it is just not fun for the baby to be taken away from milk to be spoon fed unsweetened porridge or something like that. I am just curious to hear from other parents just to be able to understand why so many people around me are being so pushy about me weaning my EBF baby at 4 months.

I don’t even know

So my husband and I are putting away groceries..I’ve already had a long tiring day and was already irritated, my 4year old was not listening and constantly getting into things..I asked and told multiple times nicely to please stop grabbed her off counters and stuff..she kept on so I finally ended up yelling at her, my husband yells at me “ you don’t need to yell at her she going to end up depressed that’s why she is the way she is”… I said she is not listening I’ve asked multiple times nicely. And also when I tell you I feel depressed you say and I quote, “ depression isn’t a real thing it’s all in your head get used to it”. So I said well if I could actually get a break from them I wouldn’t be so short tempered… when he is home he does nothing, I want to shower kids go with I want to go to the bathroom kids go with, if I want to go out with friends to get a break kids have to go with or I can’t go..I’ve burned every dinner to a charcoal crisp because he would not help me with anything. Yes I know I should not yell at my kids but things happen and I’m human too and I always feel terrible after and go tell them sorry and explain why I yelled..

Should I look through my husbands phone?

Guys… idk I have a weird feeling.
I’ve never really had to worry about my husband before but the other night at like 2/3am we both woke up because LO started crying and he was like to me ‘I know you’re looking through my phone, it keeps moving from its place’ ?? Baring in mind, I did NOT look through his phone, I never do. And yesterday we were out and he was driving, I was in the back and I had his phone because I was playing music from his phone on YouTube, and from the front mirror he’s just looking at me? I had a feeling he felt uneasy me having his phone?

Do you think I’m overthinking it? Do you think what I’ve mentioned is enough grounds to go through his phone?

Do you think is rude for a paternal grandparent to constantly say things they will do with your child without asking you first ?

The father isn’t involved and I barely know her

Was detention harsh in this situation

This is my daughter’s first week in Year 7. She was given detention for not bringing a booklet to her lesson, which was in her locker. This is the first week, and she’s still getting used to moving from different class to class. Isn’t this harsh for the first week?

Lazy mom or bad mom?!

We get these meals for when we don’t cook or just don’t have time to cook, our 1 year old really loves these and will eat them! I’m not sure if anyone gets them, I know it makes things a little easier! But I know a lot of people are against these meals. But she’s fed! And when we have supper she eats what we have, she also tries new food she likes fruit too so she’s not just eating these all the time!
