What to do next.....
So my daughter is turning five months old soon and I want to do some special things with her before nursery, so far we have
Been to the aquarium
Booked a light trail at a garden centre with my best friend
Tomorrow is a pumpkin festival
Going to Chatsworth for the Christmas trail
And doing Blenheim Place (I found out after Chatsworth that they are doing my favourite fairy tale and it was too late to cancel Chatsworth)
Thinking of a bonfire party, got noise cancelling headphones ready
She's been to the sea side, Scotland, new Brighton, Yorkshire, some are because daddi was away with work and we were allowed to go up via train with him
I am thinking about a day at the farm or zoo? I know it's stupid but it's her first and I want to fill my days before I go back with special things
Also we are making Christmas baubles for everyone with her hands, I tried water play at home, going introduce paint and gloop in the new year, took her to her first soft play as they special baby section

As a covid mama where all my baby had done at 5 months was go for a walk in the pram, that sounds like a very active start to life
Don't forget that the most important thing is just to spend time talking, singing, maybe find a baby class like massage or yoga for something different.

My child got suspended from school for several days, should I not allow them to go trick or treating?
I’ve called pediatricians office for emergency behavioral health services. Already sees therapist. Already in special ed for ADHD.
First incident- grabbed a kids shirt collar and the school says was “choking” them. The school didn’t have a very strong reaction to this incident which I find weird since it seems to be the most shocking of all of them ?
Second incident- called the kid fat, loser, slow etc after several times of being told to stop.
Third- when already being told can’t go to recess, pushed past teacher and ran outside refusing to come back in.
When the first incident happened, my child refused to talk to me or any adult about what happened and still refuses.
Basically all these incidents my child admits that they did them but refuses to share their side of the story or any details, claims they “don’t remember” and that they feel bad.
Since my child’s suspended for the next several days, they won’t get to participate in any school Halloween activities going on this week. I canceled our Halloween trip to see family. They’re home doing chores right now since I had to call out of work. No tv for the entire duration of suspension.
So far, i am also thinking no trick or treating. Is that too far ?

Settling baby
Does anyone else get really angry watching their husband or partner trying to settle their baby? We are going through witching hour and I’m trying not to take over, but watching him trying to settle the baby is infuriating!

Married to a black sheep (rant)
I have to leave everything behind and go with my husband to the US but he’s not really good with his family. They love our baby but me saying we can stay with them as long as we want til we get our own place but we and his family are not getting along well. We don’t have any big drama with each other but no matter what I do, I am just my husband wife. I feel so lonely living new life. I am grateful they provide us a place to live but I feel emotionally isolated. There’re sometimes I reach out if we can go to a coffee shop together, you know do some girls stuff but since I have a baby it’s hard for them cos my baby doesn’t like the car or I don’t have my own car so MIL and SIL would always just go together do they hair and nails, etc. I feel so out of the loop and lonely. For months their family group chat didn’t include me and if my husband showed what they were talking about MIL got mad like it was none of my business…
It’s not like I care or I’m chasing inclusion, I just need a friend.

Birthday plate
Hey all I made my son a birthday plate and I just wrote love from mum, not dad.
My partner is fuming and “heart broken” even though I told him I was doing it before I done it as a personal present from me to my son but he says he didn’t know I wasn’t going to add him. I showed him the plate when I done it and he said he liked it, when I picked it up I showed him he said he liked it but is saying he didn’t see me not write dad on it. Was I wrong to not put him on it aswell considering I was the one that made it and he didn’t come with me.

Just one good day please
That's all I want. Just one good day where everything (within reason for a 10 month old) is happy.
I'm so exhausted with the constant whining and crying about everything. Every mealtime is a battle that ends in a meltdown and the nappy changes are just awful too. He cries in the car and honestly just every day I count down to bedtime.
I feel like I'm stuck on repeat, like groundhog day. Please tell me it gets better. I love my son so fiercely, but oh my god this is hard.
