Overwhelmed and behind

Does anyone else feel like they’re drowning in tasks to do around the house and have no time to ge their ever growing to do list done or leave the house because their baby wants to be held all day? I baby wear as much as I can but he’s getting heavy and I can’t do it all day. It’s also incredibly challenging to try to even go to the grocery store with him. I feel like a shower or washing my face is a treat these days. Anyone else?

Disney mamas? 🐭✨

I’d love to find a Disney bestie to take our little ones on rides with! 🥰 I have a 3 year old daughter and a 13 month old son! We go at least once a week, usually on weekends. If you’re a Disney mama too, I’d love to meet up! 💕

How much does partner help you

If you’re a stay at home mom or wife whose kids are in school all day what do you expect husband/partner to
help with if anything? My husband works a lot with his job so I don’t want to be ungrateful but I am genuinely curious to see how spouses break up responsibilities in the household. All my kids are currently in school. I do have a job at night but it’s part time and very easy so it’s not burning me out and I do get to sleep as it’s home health but during the day I mostly have time to myself.

Is he joking

So I’ve come downstairs from settling our LO to sleep and start talking about putting in an extra nap during the day and moving bedtime later as LO has been foul the last 3 nights…… please tell me why my other half starts talking about his grass and I let him know I’m not interested and I don’t care so he asks why and I said I have more pressing stuff going on that takes priority over admiring the grass and the audacity of this man he comes out with “it’s not that hard” and I say what and he says “being a mother”………. I nearly hit the roof, not once in 15 weeks has this man settled our LO at night time and he’s done 2 just 2 midnight feeds and woke me during them…… I would love for this man to try “being the mother” and then tell me it’s not hard…… I genuinely feel like a single parent with a partner 😮‍💨

Did I overreact? Or would you have done the same ? (Long post I’m sorry)

Okay so my daughter is 5 and autistic she rides the bus home from school and wears a built in harness you know okay so her normal bus was down and they put her on an alternate they forgot to tell him that she was in a strap and that I’d be there at the stop so when he came he let all the other kids off then pulled off with her still on the bus. I freaked out called the school and got 3 different answers as to what to do next then when I asked to speak with someone who knew more they tried to say it was because I wasn’t there on time once I corrected her TWICE she finally decides to call transportation. Well I call them myself and they also give me the run around it’s “well they might just bring her back” “we’ll have to find her” “just wait for us to call you back” “be more visible at the bus stop” so I amped and cussed everyone out I’m like this is a FIVE YEAR OLD we’re talking about. So the man at transportation hangs up on me when I said that wasn’t acceptable and I called the police because no one could tell me anything….. once the police called them the bus immediately turned around and brought her back to the stop. I asked the driver what happened and he said “I didn’t know she was on here the other kids were too loud” so I emailed the school and said to just put her back in the car rider line. My mom said I jumped the gun pulling her from the bus. But I was literally terrified.

Is this safe? Nursery (uk)

My son has recently started nursery and their outdoor play area is just wooden pallete and planks of wood and tires to climb on.
They have some bits built up to climb on but just planks and pallets balancing on tires, nothing professionally built or put together properly and it goes quite high (5ft) without any barrier or anything to hold onto.
I think they're trying to lean into risky play and allowing the kids to be independent but they don't have any normal play structures..

Maybe I worry too much but my son isn't very agile. I also worry about splinters and possible nails? I know they've probably checked over the wood but I can't be sure.

Moms with older kids/teens - EBikes Yes or No?

I am so curious what motivates parents to buy these for their teens? I have without exaggeration never once seen a teen responsibly riding these in my area. They are doing wheelies, speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, dodging cars in parking lots, I’ve even had kids try and knock over my stroller with them as I’m walking with my babies.

With so many accidents of kids being hit by cars and injured or worse. I’m genuinely wondering why parents are purchasing these for their kids? It’s completely within your control to not give them these bikes so why do you chose or not chose to?
