I just came across a website that makes a children’s book for you! You just input your child’s first name and other things and the storyline for the book becomes associated with that. As in, the main character then has your child’s name :) Hoping to get one for my daughter soon. So far she is too young to really enjoy a book, but I read to her fairytales

My son loves the book everyone poops lol

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly! And any book with dinosaurs in it

When she was your daughter’s age she loved the Hungry Caterpillar, Goodnight Moon, Giraffes Can’t Dance & anything with pictures of animals.

Now- she loves all things Fancy Nancy, The Crown on your Head & Love Monster

I really like this company called usborne books they are awesome and so fun!

My son really seems to enjoy the frog and toad books! Also the kids classics like hungry caterpillar and brown bear brown bear.

I really want to get him the illustrated Harry Potter books so he can enjoy the pictures while I read to him.

Mini Myth books (Play Nice Hercules; Be Patient Pandora; etc), lift the flap books, slide and seek books, counting books (10 little ladybugs/penguins/butterflies), Little Blue Truck
I could go on and on because we have two little bibliophiles in the making!

That pic is adorable!

Mine loves all books at this point, but he really loves sensory books. Never Touch a Monster is currently a big hit.

My children love the lama lama books.

My oldest son fell in love with the Percy Jackson book series.

My daughters favourite book is Elmer lol xx

My son loves Harry Potter and Pokémon atm, my eldest daughter loves young girl novels & my youngest daughter can’t read but loves to flick through Disney princess books

My one year old son loves Star in the Jar by Sam Hayes. It’s a great bedtime or any time story, not too short or long and only about $8 from Amazon

My son loves Berenstain Bear books! He also loves Winne the Pooh, The Rainbow Fish. There is a great book called 10 Little Ladybugs that he absolutely loves! The lady bugs are raised so he can run his little hands over them the whole time we’re reading that one!

My daughter is only 18mo so these are all baby books but she LOOOOVES Sandra Boynton books. Any of them. All of them. They’re super cute. She likes the leslie patricelli books too. Her favorite books would probably be goodnight moon and Uni the unicorn if she could tell me, lol

My 1 year old son has been loving “Good Night Moon” for a very long time! It’s one of his favorite. He also likes “Brave little Camper” and any touch and feel books.

Where the wild things are, lady bug girl, Horton hears a who, my oldest reads shadow hunters!

My boys both were obsessed with "my many colored days" for a stint.

Following

I am not an Usborne consultant, but I buy a ton! As a house where we limit screen time, we have lots of books. Our "car book" which are books we keep exclusivly in the car for rides are a 4pack of mini machines and 199 zoo animals from Usborne. We also love all the lift a flap books we've gotten, and the shine a light books are amazing as well. Non usborne books we like are Llama Llama books, Dr Seuss books, and The Little Excavator (He took a nap holding onto this one day) and a peppa pig book thats a search and find.
Depending on age the All Better! Book from Usborne is a bit interactive, and this is the book that got me hooked for my son.

We read a book every evening before bedtime! Due to this we have read tons of books! I have found that my daughter likes to be exposed to all genres of books! Her favorite books include: Llama Llama Red Pajama, No David!, Brown bear, Brown bear, What do you see?
Just to name a few. Happy Reading!!

My daughter is almost 18 months. Her first favorites were Little Owls Night and Love You More (the latter has great flaps that hold up well with a young one). Later she also began to love the Pout Pout Fish (this is a family favorite now) we also the sequel, Pout Pout Fish and the Big Big Dark (not as good though). We also love the Usborne "That's not my..." series and just got "Never Touch a Monster" (I think this also has more that are similar. These are great touch and feel books. Lastly she makes me read "I Am a Princess" a zillion times over. This is one of those golden books or whatever. We don't do this one for bed though usually because my husband refuses to read it 😂

Mother Bruce❤️

Green eggs and ham by Dr.suz

My baby loves dr. Seuss and Mickey Mouse books

Usborne books are fun!!! My oldest 5 loves non fiction loves to learn.. and my youngest loves blaze, Dora, Diego, books

Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site and Room On The Broom!

Curious George and the wonkey donkey

No Sleep for the Sheep. Big favorite over here for both kiddos! (Almost 3 girl, 9 month boy)

My son is 15 months... he has loved this book called guess how much I love you since he was about 5 months old. As soon as he could crawl he would always go to it and as soon as he could walk he would always bring it to me. It was our bedtime book so that could be why lol

He now is also like that with a book called never touch a dinosaur. And of course he also loves his paw patrol books now

Green eggs and ham is my ultimate favorite book to read to the kids. Love dr suess. Also, if you give a mouse a Cookie, the very hungry caterpillar, and jumanji.

My baby seems to like the Highlight books the version that's hello made for little kids

My son loves anything to do with the cars movie.
But his favorite book i no off by heart is "guess how much i love you"

Dinosaur Dance! We read it multiple times a day every day 🙂

My daughters favorites are The Monster at the End of This Book (golden book) and The Watermelon Seed by Greg Pizzoli. My 2 and 3 year olds have both memorized!

Little blue trucks Christmas 🎄 mainly because of all the lights at the end 😍

My little one loves " Nosey Barker"

Goodnight goodnight construction site and giraffes cant dance are our favorites.

There's a book called peace. It teaches you how to say peace in different languages 🙏😂😂

My daughter loves her first 100 words book. I thought the winner was going to be baby shark lol.

Jungle Night, Everywhere Babies, & Goodnight Moon

Pajama time!! My son loves it because I kinda “sing” it when reading it. Lol

One of our favorites is Go Away Big Green Monster

Llama Llama Red Pajama is my 11 month-old daughter’s favorite book. She also loves Never Touch a Panda, I Love You So (most recent version has better illustrations), You’re My Little Cuddle Bug and Owl Always Love You. Peek-a-Who? Books are a hit as well.

I've finally done it

I have finally done it. I have finally become the trope, the stereotype.

I have become bitter, resentful, and very overwhelmed and overloaded. I am very unhappy and hit burnout. And I snapped at my husband last night. I work full-time, and work has been very busy so im working late a lot. Im also in grad school. I also have a toddler that has become VERY clingy with me. My husband works shorter days but commutes, so he usually gets home after me by an hour or more. When he gets home, he usually heads to the restroom for at least 30 mins when he gets home. And now my toddler doesnt want anything to do with him. So im doing all the toddler duties until bed. I dont get 5 mins to myself. Not for almost 2 years. I finally hit my wall. I have also, somehow, become my MILs medical ride service and she somehow has an appt every week, it seems?! Shes not sick!! My husband was complaining that he needs to change routine to fit in a workout sometimes, and I lost it. I have been BEGGING for 5 mins to myself for months. I have been telling him how im not good, im going to burn out for months. And between his attitude and him complaining (which really got me b/c he blames me for not being able to work out?! Saying I need help when he gets home so he just cant workout now) I just lost it completely. I told him how unfair my life has become and I have the entire mental and emotional load and it is just not fair. He got mad at me and said "hes trying" when hes literally not trying at all. What do I do?? No one is taking the load from me! And im done and dont know what to do now.
I do not like this version of me.

AITA?

This isn't a major issue, just wondering if I'm being a bit of an asshole.

• I do shift work, 5 out of 7 days, full-time.
• My partner works from home (mostly, sometimes he goes into the office) M-F, full-time.

Anyway, whenever I have a day off during the week he gets in his feelings when I make myself food (breakfast and lunch) but not him. His reason is he's working, I'm not - Which is fair but I've asked him how many times on a weekend has he gotten up, on his day off and made me breakfast and a lunch to take with me to work? You guessed it, 0.

So basically, just because I'm at home I don't think the responsibility to feed him should automatically fall on me when he manages to feed himself just fine while I'm at work.

Big vent!

Hi mums.
I'm a first time mum in my 40s to twin boys.They are almost 5 months old and the biggest miracle in my life!
I am struggling!!!
I'm pretty sure I have ppa as my pregnancy was a very high risk and all I remember was crying from anxiety of all the ifs!Thankfully even born at 35 weeks and skinny,didn't need iu time.
My husband is not helping much because he's always too busy with work.He will "look" after them usually between 8pm-12am so I can have a chance to sleep.
He expects me to just sleep when I touch the pillow,even though I hear tje babies crying and him don't really bother because most of the times he'll be on his laptop working.
When I tell him I can't relax to fall asleep because I feel you r neglecting the babies,he says I'm the problem becauae I'm always there with them and don't give them alone time!!
I am angry!!I am furious!!
I can't keep.up.with housework becauae someone alwaya neess me and most of the times they nap I either cook and clean tje kitchen,do laundry or try and take a quick nap.
He doesn't help.around the house,becauae..guess what?always super busy.
I asked him nicely we could clean the house together every Saturday morning so it's easier and quicker for both of us and he said no,because he has a lot of work but probably wants to sleep until 12 or 2.
2 days ago a button of his coat ripped and I told him I'll sew it these days.
Earlier this morning while running late for his work,as always,he weara the coat and told him didn't get the chance to fix the button and sarcastically said..of.course u didn't!!!
I spent all night awake because one of the babies had congested nose and we've been trying to reduce one fees at night.
I wanted to punch him!!He left and I started crying...I cry so much,even at 5 months pp...
I can't go on like this anymoreeeee...
The crying in my ears is constant..my head is always numb..I've gained so much weight and can't find the strength to get back on track..
Even if I try to.find a therapist to just talk,is it gonna help?I really don't know😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Avoidant husband

I love my husband and he is a good man. We have some issues in our relationship however, as he has an avoidant attachment style (finds romance/intimacy/being emotional difficult). This comes from him having to be independent from a young age and having quite an abusive mother.
The issues in our relationship are mainly around a lack of sex and intimacy. I think the problem is that to feel turned on, I need to feel connected and wanted. My husband (being avoidant) will usually make jokes about being horny whereas I would want to have someone make me feel beautiful/sexy to get in the mood.
It sounds terrible but I've sometimes had dreams about exes that would make me feel this way, and the romance we had (eye contact, intensity, deep words). It makes me feel really guilty but I feel like i'm starved of that. My husband would like a lot more sex but I can't always force myself if I'm not feeling it.
We've spoken a bit about therapy but I know its often really expensive so we probably wouldn't be able to afford it. Do you have any suggestions please? I know that neither of us are wrong in what we want, just different but I'm scared about whether we can fix it or if we're doomed?
