Doing it alone
So I’m currently at the hospital because I’m in labor and about to deliver my baby within the next hour and a half probably and none one’s here.
Well my mom’s on the way to me now but it’ll take a minute for her to come. As for my baby’s dad, nowhere in sight. I told him I was in the hospital and he said he wanted to be there when his son is born but where is he? Who knows.
Am I upset? Definitely. Am I surprised? No not really. I’m only irritated because I know he’s going to blame me for something like he always does and it’s going to be horrible.
But that’s not important, what’s important is that I get to see my baby boy soon with or without him. Sad to say but I can’t control how he reacts so I’m just gonna focus on me and baby.

Ugh so sorry you have to go through this experience alone. No one should. Praying for an easy and safe delivery. ❤️
When my sister was born her dad was in the same town and everything but chose not to show up. My mom specifically told him the only way my sister would get the same last name as him is if he showed up and signed the papers
So she has the same last name as us and he’s only ever seen her 1 time and he didn’t even talk to her.
She’s 9 years old
Hopefully you have an amazing and safe delivery
I’m sorry you are doing this alone, I can’t imagine how you must feel, but just know that you are strong and can do this. I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible and you and baby are safe. I don’t know if this is possible for you, but it might be worth it to tell the hospital staff you only want your mother there/ and afterwards when you and baby are in recovery, this is a precious and fragile time and the least amount of stress possible is ideal. Sending hugs your way❤️
safe, healthy delivery, ma ♥️

Who are the psychos out here giving their 7 year olds cell phones??
My daughter has told me a few times now since starting 2nd grade that some of her classmates have cell phones and now she wants one obviously she’s not going to get one lmao, but the fact that this is already a thing and convo I’m having now is mind blowing to me, I thought I’d have a few more years

Is 3 like the hardest age for everyone or am I a bad mom?
I swear my oldest son was so sweet and obviously had a few outbursts but nothing too crazy but within the last 6 months I feel like he did a complete 180 and his whole personality has changed. He sasses off to me, and just pushes every boundary and I swear the boy tests me to see how much he can provoke me. I honestly feel like I’m doing something wrong. I feel like I’m constantly on him about everything and I don’t let him get away with much if he’s doing something wrong but it feels like nothing I do is working. I wanna raise a respectful, nice boy but he’s making it feel almost impossible right now.

Tax free child care uk
Hi ladies
I’m just wondering if anyone could talk me through how the payments work for the tax free child care for nursery?
We are eligible for 30 free hours which we claim and the nursery have sorted for us.
I have only just realised today when updating my account that I am also eligible for tax free child care which I believe is where the government pays 20% of the nursery bill?
My nursery bill per month is £137, I have selected and set up my nursery on the account, I’m just not really understanding how the money gets paid in and how the gov know how much to pay for their bit?
I have taken a screen shot of the screen that came up for when I was trying to have a nosy round and figure out how to pay, I haven’t actually got my next bill just yet, and last month I just paid the full £137 myself straight from my bank account as I didn’t realise I was eligible for the tax free one. No biggy really about the first bill as he has only just started nursery so that was his first bill, I would just like to know how to pay it with the government bit in preparation for the next bill.
Thank you

My 2 year old Lo is still not settled after taking him to nursery from monday till today(thursday) for an hour . What can we do to help please. I am soo desperate as this didnt happen to my first . The manager was saying he wants to be picked up and i told her maybe it because he is still not settled with the new faces so he needs more time towards that .

Partner seems so uninterested!!
Baby could come in 3 weeks and my partner hasn’t help with anything at all! I’ve even given him the space and said we need to discuss these things, let me know when you’re free to chat and he still hasn’t bothered! He said he was going to talk to me yesterday but apparently I was too emotional so he didn’t bother! Which I think is a lie, he was just trying to find an excuse. He has been purposely coming home late from work all week and my little one would ask why daddy is late for dinner. I don’t know what to do anymore, I’m so mentally exhausted and feel so alone in this process! I’m hoping for a home birth, I don’t know how this would work if I feel so unsupported at the moment!
