Nursery Query

Hey!
I’m just wondering about sending my boys to a nursery. They’re 6 months old twin boys and I’m so uncertain on what to do. Like, do I even go back to work or do I stay home and just be skint or do I go back to work. If I do send them nursery what’s the process for this? What’s the monthly cost going to look like for both to be in nursery 4/5 days a week. My partner is a high school teacher but in a different area so sometimes the school holidays don’t sync up. I do have my mother in law who will have them every now and again, same with my mum. My mind is spinning hahaha

Each nursery fees are different even with 30 hrs funding you might have to pay some for the remaining hours plus extras. Might be expensive for two babies. You will have to contact the nurseries in your area. Maybe work out finances to see if you can stay at home for a while if your partner earn enough? You need to sit down and figure out the numbers inc even if you went to work.

For 5 days in my sons nursery would be around £1300 a month per baby with the funding x

I'm an ex childcare worker. Each nursery has different prices so you will have to contact them to find out and maybe ring round your area and books some tours in. Also you have to put them down for nursery at least a year before you want them to start. This is because the waiting lists are so long

Another episode of - is he cheating:

General vibes over the years - seems to exit out of what he was looking at on his phone when I come in the room, has the opportunity with “work dinners” and things, found a hair tie in his car one time. I know that sounds bad, but no one who knows him would think he’s capable of it, and I’ve always chalked it up to my own anxiety and insecurities.

Yesterday I found a necklace.

Discreet box, ordered to the house, last night he unboxed it, put the nice cloth bag in his backpack, and left for work with that this morning. (Yes I know this bc I was snooping) A quick google shows it was a Very expensive necklace.

Took everything I had not to ask about it, but I’m waiting until this evening to see if it’s still in his backpack or not. He could be hiding it and giving it to me at some point but idk.

Thoughts?

Toddler not eating

Hey mommas, i have a almost 13 months old and he is not eating ANYTHING, he only wants to breastfeed. He used to at least eat greek yogurt in the morning, and i would add oats and chia seeds, but he is not even wanting to eat that anymore. He used to also really like fruits, like watermelon, banana, mango and kiwi… well not anymore… i dont know what to do , im getting really stressed, he barely gains any weight 🫠🫠🫠

Nursery pictures/paimtings

My daughter stared nursery 2months ago and I love her paintings and pictures but I’m running out of magnets and fridge space 🤣🤣

What does everyone do with their kids stuff?? Any good ideas of keeping them in one piece and not in a box hidden somewhere?
