Toddler around baby

My toddler is getting quite aggressive towards my 7 month old and it’s exhausting. This week alone we’ve had biting leaving a horrible mark, pushing him backwards when he’s started pulling to stand meaning he has whacked his head on the floor, hitting him on the head with a lunchbox, the list goes on.. my baby often laughs at it but it’s really quite stressful . I think it’s a combination of him wanting a playmate and baby not quite being there yet and a bit of him wanting the attention / a reaction. Is anyone else having this and how are you navigating this? I have to literally be with them both constantly and can’t even go to the other end of the room to get something without taking one of them with me

Struggling with gender..

We found our baby is a baby girl this weekend.. I have been convinced she was a girl the entire pregnancy so it wasn’t a shock at all but just hearing it officially… of course I love her and I’m not evil, it’s just a lot to adjust and I am feeling really stressed and a bit sad really. I feel guilty that I’m not as excited as I should be and currently don’t want people to know because I’m not ready to be super happy about it yet.

I have always pictured my life with a son one day and, for very personal reasons and life experiences, I feel a lot of stress when thinking about protecting and raising a baby girl in this world which I’m sure people can relate…

I am worried about protecting her, I am worried about not feeling the same bond from her as a son, amongst a multitude of other things. I am not feeling excited to buy frilly dresses or go to dance classes and I know it will all settle and logically I won’t imagine life without her and I do love her, it’s just overwhelming me..

Any advice… 🌸

Footlong Penis🍆😮

Adding to all this penis talk lol
Don’t ask me how this came up but my husband was sharing his crazy patient surgery stories and randomly tells me about “the biggest penis he’s ever seen”. Reasonably I burst out laughing because those are words I never expected him to ever say 😅.
Anyways he goes on to tell me how before the surgery he meets with this patient, who goes on to tell him about STI’s and STD’s gotten due to his extensive sexual history.
My husband says when he was on the table it all clicked and he understood why this guy had so many girlfriends 😂🤣 he compared it to a footlong and is very clinical in general so I truly believe him.
All this to say I’m flabbergasted a penis that big even exists and I now need to know if anyone has had large penis run-ins with past partners?!

Feeling fed up

So my oldest is 2 and a bit and we are thinking of getting him a speech therapist because he is still hardly taking and me and his dad are doing the best we can we take 30 minutes when he wakes up before lunch and before bed to talk to him try get him to repeat but nothing and when I talk to my helf vister about it and him possibly being autistic or on the spectrum I get he’s just a boy or he’s only 2 but we have had our suspicions for a good bit know and the older he gets the more it ponts to it I just feel like am not getting listened to and I want to help my son the best way I can and I just feel like am failing him by not knowing what to do

car recommendations!

Hi mamas!!

I’m currently looking for cars as i go back to work in a few months.

I don’t want a huge car as i hate driving them but want a decent sized one to be able to fit all my baby’s things - ie car seat with isofix and pram.

I only have 1 child but need something reliable.

Could you give me any suggestions? x
