Mamas of confident school kids - HOW?!

I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle as I was the most shy, quiet, well behaved, scared of being told off or standing out, school kid. I literally hated school and struggled to make friends but I can see history repeating itself and it’s breaking my heart. But I don’t know how to stop it 🥴

At home and in social situations outside of school my 6yo girl is sassy, confident, clever, not afraid to be herself and absolutely hilarious with it. But in school she is so terrified of standing out or being told off in even the smallest way. She’s really anxious about school for these reasons and is really just trying to blend in and in doing so I feel like she’s not making friends like she could and she’s just following the other kids trying to do what they want. I want her to not be afraid of being one of the ones who are more confident in being themselves!

Has anyone got any advice? Mums of confident kids especially! 🥲

Also, for context, I did a full flip in adulthood and massively grew out of the shy person I once was to the point people at school couldn’t believe it was me… So I don’t think she’s following my lead in terms of what example I’m showing her but maybe it’s genetically my fault I don’t know 🫠

I’d love nothing more than for her to be the happy, popular, care free confident girl I wish I had been able to be 🥲

Fed UP

I just feel so fucking agitated at the moment. I have 2 under 2 and one of them is autistic. So we have daily meltdowns etc. I'm up at 6am every day and don't sit down till maybe 10pm. I'm doing absolutely everything for them & the only break I get is going to the gym but I'm out for an hour max. As soon as I'm home I'm straight back at it, I don't even have time to shower.

My partners great but I don't think he has any fucking idea just how hard it is being with 2 small kids every minute of the day, managing appointments & the house. I'm starting to resent him. I'm snappy & miserable.

I resent my dog. He stinks & keeps malting everywhere. He's old so keeps shitting in the house.

The kids have kicked off for me all morning, yet as soon as he's here its calm & I look dramatic.

I'm not enjoying being a mum cos I can't cope with the constant stress. I've got adhd and autism so I'm overstimulated very quickly.

I've had ENOUGH.

Thongs / Sexy undies to work?

My husband has an issue with me wearing sexy undies to work. Yesterday, I wore a thong for the first time in years because I'm just tired of my panty line showing 🙃 and oh my gosh he was very unhappy. He says that if he's not happy about it then I wouldn't do it. I should wear it at home. He says things like " men can tell I'm wearing a thong. " I don't respect him because I wear it to work, and he does not like etc. I just can't believe that it bothers him so much. I told him if I feel the need to wear it outside the house I will. It's not every time I want my panty line showing. I literally have less than 4 thongs, and only one Yesterday in years. No one sees under my clothes, so what's the issue. Please give me some advice on this? Who's wrong in this situation?

Snack ideas for plane

What snack ideas would you have for a 19 month old that will keep her entertained on a 9 hour flight and will fit in these little compartments? Will take more of course.

... When i look at my husband

Almost 4 months pp with 2 under 2...i wanna jump his bones, lick his neck, rub his back to his crack (with shea butter), suck him to sleep, make him moan when i see him doing anything like cleaning, buys my pads, changing diapers, talking with me, sleeping, walking around... Existing.

Ugh been together for 8 years & married for 4. Hes a rock, my blessing & the love of my life...

Anyone else feel like that about their person?

Toddlers nursery - am I overreacting?

My toddler is strong willed. He knows what he wants and how he wants it.

Not all communication styles work with a strong willed child.

Any who, about 60 percent of the time when I pick him up from nursery they complain about his behaviour and him not listening. He is fricken 2 and half years old!

Before nursery he never had behavioural issues.

Any who I worry now they are putting this constant though in his mind that he is a bad kid.

He would say things like I'm not going to be a godo boy. Etc.

I got into an argument with my partner about reducing the days. Or even changing the nursery in general.

Am I over reacting?

What would you recommend?

I just remember being younger at schools and teachers constantly shouting or telling off the same kid. Putting this perception in there head that they are naughty, less than. I worry that this can be causing damage. Am I over reacting?
