Childcare during the birth

Hey girls what are you doing in regards ti childcare while you are giving birth for those that don’t have any families around.

I don’t have anyone and we recently moved to the area so we don’t have any friends that would be able to take our two older kids.

I had 2 very traumatic births so Ideally would like my husband to be able to be with me. Also because I’m not local.

My mum gives my son gummy sweets!

I've just come home from work only to find out my mum has been giving my 13 month old son Maynards wine gums🫪

My son ran up to me so I picked him up and he started crying and pointing so I followed where he was pointing which was my mum's bag, he reached in and grabbed the packet and then started screaming because I told him no. She said I've only been giving him smaller pieces! So!?? Now my son's having a meltdown....

Told her off. She said she won't do it again. Do I trust her? No😅

It's hard parenting our parents.

This is f**ked up🤦🏻‍♀️

My man’s constant comments about my postpartum body got my head f**ked up. At 24 yo I just had my second son in June 16 and am already down from 150 to 118 pounds and I’m proud of that…but my man (who’s very into fitness) is constantly telling me to go to the gym or sending me workout videos grabbing my tummy fat, whenever the baby’s relaxing he tells me to do squats or sit ups and even sending me A.I pictures of my body edited to what “it could be” he doesn’t see how much it messes with me even tho I say that’s not nice to say. I’ve been going to the gym 3x a week the last 2 weeks and a 2 mile walk daily with the kids sense 6 weeks pp like I’m trying but sometimes I’m just so tired… I’ve always been a very petite person and I know this might sound stupid but I feel rly anxious to just try and get back to how I was. Idk what to say to him because at the end of the day we want the same thing I just want to look in the mirror and pretty again🤦🏻‍♀️

Debt and stress

Hello my partner has managed to get us into a lot of debt to the point we don't have the money to pay for bills and food etc. Obviously with baby arriving very soon as you can imagine we are very stressed to be in this horrible situation. I am in tears everyday, my eldest birthday is soon and I havent got him anything yet as cant afford it. I am super fed up and having horrible thoughts which I shouldn't be as i should be so excited this baby is coming but all I can think about it money troubles 😪 my partner has said about writing off the debt which will mean it will leave him with bad credit and we are renting as cant afford a mortgage but going forward I feel like its not the best decision? Can anyone advise please

Meals

How many meals a day is your baby having?
I got criticised for my little girl having 2 meals and 4 bottles a day telling me I’m not giving her enough.
My daughters has breakfast and dinner daily

Holiday season for co parenting

So I came with an idea to split the day with my sons father because it will be our sons first holiday season. We got a letter in the mail to go by even and odd but I think for his first year we should split the day in half so he both get to experience his first with each family. I originally told him that I wanted Odd number years but then I started thinking that we could just split the day instead, and then go by even and odd. Do you think it’s a good idea? And do y’all think my child’s father will agree? He just start coming around and truthfully if it was up to me I wouldn’t let him get any holiday at all but a part of me is trying to be fair and still cordial with him.

Pregnant teachers?? Help!!!

Am I being a bitch or is being asked “how areee youuu” in that patronising tone 17 times a day by staff members SO annoying. A child said to me this morning “woah your tummy is getting really big”. I’ve had staff members tell me “my pregnant Mrs isn’t that big”. The kids have an excuse but adults??!! WHY do people make ‘big’ comments. It’s crazy because if I turn around and say ‘and so are you’, I’m suddenly the bad guy. How are we all coping doing this job whilst being pregnant. I’m 6mo now. I’m clinging on by a thread 😭😭😭😭.
