Report to nursery or not...?

My husband works with the husband of one of the staff members at nursery. My oldest child had just left and gone to school, youngest is still there.

My husband's college asked today how our eldest is getting on at school, my husband said he's doing really well and his college replied saying that's good my wife said he was a little shit at nursery....

It's left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth when he told me about it. I'm not sure whether to speak to the room leader about it, if I do whether to actually give the staff members name or not and just ask for them to have a general word with all staff...? Or just leave it as I'm assuming she knew her husband works with my husband and that they're friendly?

Should I tell her something?

I suspect a friend of mine that I know for 5 years definitely has adhd and possibly autism. The thing is she doesn't realise how her reactions cause trouble and blames the other people all the time. I usually try to make her see things from the other side and offer suggestions, but she doesn't listen and it has to be how she says it should be.

Now that her child is growing up I see he has poor empathy, no social skills, is aggressive, hurts others, no risk aversion, no impulse control, no facial expressions and I can't avoid to think he may have autism and adhd. A year ago I brought it up once and she said no, no, he has plenty of friends and his milestones are fine.

I think she doesn't want to see or thinks autism and adhd look different.

First day of childcare

My 10 month little girl has gone to a childminder for the first full day. I’m really struggling and miss her so much. Anyone else finding it difficult? Her first name was loads shorter than usual, she hasn’t taken a bottle and not had much for lunch. Were your babies the same?

Looking for some support! ❤️

Arghh

15 months this week and he is already making me lose my mind. All evening its been throwing toys, banging, usually loves Capol but before bed he wants to spit it out. The Hitting, the tantrums.
Grrr!!!!!!!!!!
And i’m hearing 18 months is not for the weak, how am i going to get through this 😩

I can't bare the clinginess😭

Please don't judge my choice of words but my baby is unbearable and is making me miserableand struggle to enjoy his company now. His neediness is driving both me and my husband into absolute misery. He will not stop whining and crying unless held. No exaggeration, he is just a whinge bag and I struggle so much now. Im dosed up on Ibuprofen every day because my shoulder is so sore, now my back is hurting too from compensating my posture. I cannot get anything done. And YES I BABY WEAR. But he is 8+kg now, and I can barely get anything done like that and I think at 7 months he shouldn't be carried all the time. He doesn't roll because he doesn't spend enough time on the floor. As soon as he's down he'll scream rather than play/ try. He's trying to sit up, but peobably because he is in a sitting position being held all day. If he's not held its the same in the bouncer, seat, high chair. Nothing helps. I worry his muscles won't develop properly because of this. The overwhelm in my head is unbearable. I feel trapped and miserable, and no I can't walk around in the pram all day either, I live in a tiny village. Has anyone's older child done this? Did they turn out clingy when older? Will this get better? Or am I stuck with a needy clingy child now? 😭😭😭 ps I have a 4 Yr old too so that makes it even harder.

Husband just said no to baby number 2

Not sure what to do now.. we are married and have LO 22 months this month. What if I can’t get past it.. he said he loves LO but doesn’t like being a dad.. do I give ultimatum or what?!
