I can’t wait for my kids to get older. I have an almost 5 year old and a 3 year old. I wish they would hurry up and grow up. I feel like I’m taking care of 2 drunk guys all day long and making sure they don’t die. My oldest has horrible tantrums that he scratches me, bites me, hits me or throws and breaks things. My youngest and him fight all the time. They also need me for a lot of stuff still. I’m exhausted with them I’ve lost myself in motherhood. Even when I try to have breaks whoever is taking care of them I worry if they put something in their mouth or something else could’ve happened that the person may not say or saw. I’m tired my bf doesn’t help me and if he does at times not like I would like or throw it in my face. I don’t trust day cares and I know what I got my oldest is a lot to handle that Im worried someone doesn’t have the patience. I just want them healthy I’m also always worried if they ate enough did that sleep good, it’s a never ending worry that I hope once they get older stuff they can do on there own would help me. I’m just not enjoying this stage that they are in the always falling and fighting the bruises stress me out too. I’m loosing it I have been for a while.

I feel like this constantly. I look forward to them moving out and they’re only 6

Everyone is entitled to their own feelings about motherhood, and I think it’s okay to acknowledge that not every stage is enjoyable for everyone.
Personally, I love my two boys. They definitely drive their father and me wild sometimes, but we don’t mind the chaos. One day, when they’re older and the house is quiet, I know I’ll miss all the craziness 🥺
My husband and I are each other’s village and support system. We’re breaking generational curses and building the kind of family dynamic we want for our boys.
We’re not overly strict parents, and while we’ll support them if they want to move out someday, they’ll always have a place to call home with us 🤎
Motherhood looks different for everyone, and we can love our children deeply while still acknowledging how hard certain seasons can be. I hope you find the support and breaks you deserve.
My baby has been having this on his gum for weeks now and the gp said it’s nothing but I’m so worried.
Has ever come across this before? I’m soo worried. Not sure if it’s affecting his feeding.. but he eats ok.

Hi, throughout duration of my pregnancy the husband has been rude and inconsiderate. He has forgotten my birthday and our anniversary.
I’m not sure if obedience school is an option at this age because he is 40 now and beyond the point of training age.
Any tips or helpful tricks to mediate his autonomy at this time ?

I’m due to start potty training my daughter (finally) next week! She’s 2.5 years old. And I just need some tips cause I’m so nervous about it.
I’ve got some potty training underwear for her and some potties to put on each room and an extra seat for the toilet.
My house is carpet so I’m dreading this so much.
She used to tell me when we she needed to poo but the past few days she hasn’t?
Are there any tips to help it go smoothly and quickly(hopefully) since I was have a 3 month old to deal with.

Hiya
We're considering getting our daughter a Toniebox for christmas and just wanted to get some opinions on whether they are worth it for 2 year olds
Also if you have the toniebox 2 do you use the games features? I've seen the tonie box lite has been released which doesn't include games so I'm considering this due to the cheaper price but depends if thats a function we'll miss!
