WFH and baby
I’m supposed to go back to work soon with a fully remote wfh position. Customer service but with no calls. My baby is absolutely so low management. He can play and spend so long by himself as long as I’m the room and the only fussiness starts during the night or when he s due a feed. I’m still a little worried about it but is anyone in a similar position? How are you handling it and making it work?

Hey lovely. So unexpectedly I don't have a nursery anymore so I've had to wfh with bubba for the last two weeks. He's also quite low management but has tried to get my attention at points. I just make sure I take regular screen breaks as you should so 15/20 minute break every hour where possible and after a meeting I take a break and play with him intensely for about 10 minutes. Prepare your snacks and food for the day so all you are doing is warming up at the time. E.g. Make pasta and tuna the day before or sandwich the day before and store in fridge alongside yoghurt and have crisps and fruit to hand type thing. Not ideal for me as I have meetings randomly throughout the day but just about managing.

valid crash out? 🤔
my baby daddy went mad at me as he found out i was ‘using his child maintenance’ to buy nappies from Aldi/Lidl instead of buying Pampers. Valid or is he being as ridiculous as I feel like he is? 😂

Question only for non-UK based mums
I’m Belgian but lives the UK. Everyone around me is taking a week off of work to potty train their child.
As in, they’re using a week of precious annual leave for this, and then they don’t leave the house for days, quite literally locking themselves inside with their kid bum-naked, and « potty train ».
NO ONE does that where I come from. Potty training is seen as a longer, more organic process.
If you’re not British, can you say whether most people take days off to do potty training where you come from / where you live?

Daycare/Nannies
How are you guys handling having to send your kids to daycare or having a nanny?
I’m a first time mom and I’m terrified of anyone watching her but me. My daughter will be four months when I go back to work but with how the world is today and all the viruses and sicknesses I just don’t trust anyone.

Different parenting styles
LO is turning 2 and testing boundries and my other half shouts at her to tell her off where as I’d rather explain things so she understands. I then have a go at him for shouting and we end up arguing over it because he thinks I’m too soft. Anyone else have these issues or just me?
