We invited a few of my sons preschool best pals for his 4th birthday. Parents will be there and because we have limited budget it will be at ours and nothing crazy 🫠 How do you cope with (rich) strangers coming to your humble abode?.. giving me so much anxiety that they will see our home 😮💨 on top of that they all did massive parties in fancy venues and invited the whole school …

You treat them as any other person. Their financial status has no bearing on your life, they are merely at your home to attend your child’s birthday party.
If they are snobbish cunts and make snidely comments on your home, you know to avoid them in future. To be fair, most folk are decent and would opt instead to praise how nice your home is.

Don’t worry about it. It’s about the kids having fun which I’m sure they will! I’m sure no one will even notice, this is likely your own insecurities. Your doing great mom

Funny story: I threw my daughter a 3 family get together at my house for her birthday. Thinking nothing of it because that was the only 3 friends her age she played with. 2 months later one of the girls that came invited us to her party. It was freaking huge!!! So many people most not even near the kids age. And so much food and gifts. It felt a little overwhelming to me. And I really enjoyed our humble party better! All that to say: small parties are the BEST! In my opinion anyways, that might just be my introvert showing though.

I've always done small parties, the children loke it more, games amd just playing together, kids getting to be kids is the best party.
Has anyone else paid for a scan and not been able to see baby’s face? My partner feels like it was a waste of money I see where he’s coming from but I’m just glad I got to hear baby’s heart beat and seeing the baby moving. What would you do?

It’s been so bad that my toddler has asked me what’s wrong multiple times this morning! I’m 35 weeks and I’ve been okay until today!

I’m just sitting here minding my own business at 8 months pregnant and my toddler comes up to me and says “who got you pregnant”!!!
I looked at her like “what” and she repeated herself so I said “her daddy”! So she said “why did my daddy get you pregnant” 😳
So I said “I don’t know”! She says “it’s fine I will call him and ask him”…. She grabs my phone calls her dad who’s at work and he was sounded mortified, when she said “why did you get my mummy pregnant”! I couldn’t fully remember what he said because I couldn’t stop laughing!!! Nothing can prepare you to be a parent to a toddler!! 😭😂

When do people normally tell family and friends? When they have the 12 weeks scan or later
