Hitting other kids at school
My son started pre-k this year. It's been becoming stressful for me, almost once a week the teacher has to talk to me about my son hitting other kids, they put him on time out and he thinks it's funny. Today he almost got sent to the office. What can I do to improve his behavior?
Also if there are any good book recommendations on parenting?
Thanks.

We have a book called Hands are not for hitting. My LO is 2 so it will take him a while to really grasp it. But they have tips for parents at the end of the book that are helpful.

no advice sorry but just wanted to say go easy on yourself. kids are their own people we can influence them not control them. you're clearly taking it seriously and doing your best to teach him so please don't beat yourself up. it'll take time but it will improve

Nursery
Did anyone feel like it wasnāt the right decision for their family? Our toddler started nursery recently (only 2 days a week), and a few weeks in, I still donāt feel right about it? we technically donāt āneedā him to go as one of us is always around, so all I can think about is the time Iām losing with him and honestly makes me feel so sad, and also wonder if thereās something wrong with me as every other mum seems to cope well? I was never really keen on the idea of nursery and it took us 18 months to decide, but I ended up giving in to the pressure that it would be good for him for the social aspect etc, and also the idea of sometime for myself seemed good as well. But now I just feel like the pros are not worth the cons š doesnāt help that our nursery only offers full days, we would love to have the option of just half days twice a week. Also seems like he only enjoys it for a little bit and not the full days š¢š¢
Just wondering if anyone can relate!

Porridge
What porridge is everyone giving to their babies? I was buying the tesco super smooth porridge in the big box but it has been out of stock for weeks! Any recommendations? Have tried normal Quaker Oats but my son prefers the smooth texture. Have also used formula branded porridge but itās in such a small bag and doesnāt last us long at all. He is 9 months old. Thanks!

Nursery.
Hi, I'm going to visit a potential nursery tomorrow for my LO. She'll be just under 1yr when she starts.
Does anyone have any suggestions on questions I should make sure to ask or anything I should be looking out for?
TIA

Post partum rage
Does anyone suffer with PPR? I only get it when I'm putting my boy to bed and I have NO idea why. It's completely illogical and irrational but when he's messing around and won't settle I feel the fire rising in me. I get so enraged. Id never hurt him or anything I just have to walk out and take a minute to calm down.

Iām at breaking point
I need more support from my partner and he just doesnāt get it. Heāll help out then just go back to not helping. He works all the time. Iām stuck at home. He wonāt let me go on a bus and he wonāt let the baby go in other peopleās cars and I donāt drive. I spend every minute and every day with the baby. He works a lot so when he has a day off all he wants to do is sleep or he says heās going golfing. Where does my own time fit in? When he does make time for us, most of the time he invites one of his friends. Do you just not want to be around me? I feel like Iām being forgotten about by him and Iām irrelevant. Most of the time heās the victim in the arguments because when I bring something up thatās upsetting me he turns it around and makes me out to be the bad person of that Iām the cause of everything. I understand that I maybe havenāt been showing up 100% but he struggles to understand the amount of responsibility that lies on me, the house, the baby, chores, remembering appointments etc. Heās suffered with depression so surely he can see that heās just pushing me further and further away into a depression from his actions. Iāve told my mum I need more support and she is trying to help but as soon as I say oh can we reschedule one day she says that āIām just trying to help and I donāt understand youā
