Baby girl arrived today💕

Baby girl decided to come today at 39 weeks and 4 days! She was due on the 18th but my water broke yesterday so I got induced. She’s healthy and beautiful 🥹

Which cake is cuter for a 2 year olds birthday? I feel like 1 is more age appropriate but 2 might be nicer?

Her theme is Two magical and it's all unicorns (she loves unicorns)

Ideas for Father’s Day?

I have no idea what to get or do for the father of my children for Father’s Day 🤦‍♀️

My son's birthday is on a Tuesday this year and he'll be turning two 🥹

When and which type of celebration do you think we should do?

If we hire a venue, it would probably be a village hall with bouncy castle, face paining etc. and if we have just family, we'll probably just have our family round to our house for a little tea party, then take him on a day out or something 🎂

Birthday outing

I want people's opinion on if this is a good idea or not

My son's birthday is next Month and I don't want to have a party. I did that the first 2 times and it was stressful so we thought we will take him to the zoo and if any of the family want to come they can meet us at the zoo. We won't be able to pay for their tickets but I don't know if that is rude.

Do you celebrate the holidays with your kids?

This is a hard one for me because growing up I didn’t celebrate holidays. So now having children, I don’t know what to do. Should I celebrate them because everyone else they’re around with does it? Do I go about it based on my beliefs or do I allow them to to form their own beliefs around it and celebrate the holidays for them?

Ultimately, I just want them to be happy.

Birthday and Christmas presents

I know it’s 6 months away but what are we getting our 3 year olds for birthday and Christmas this year?

Specifically 3 year old girls.

Baby Jaxson Born 6/3

My little angel 👶 Jaxson was born 6/3. My original due date was May 31st. First time mom & struggled with my hormone crash badly right after he was born. Crying every minute basically. However, every day is getting better and better. Day 11 and I feel like a new person, haven’t cried at all (just exhausted 🫣😂) We’re slowly getting the hang of things over here! 💙

Kids parties

Do any mums feel anxious when going to your child's birthday parties? Went to one yesterday. Always struggle to make conversation then I feel like a weirdo 😔

I’m sad😅

My husband said he had to go somewhere still for a birthday present, got my hopes up thinking he’s going to get a vanity for me… and he brings back sushi! I love sushi so he did good but why do I get my hopes up so much😂😭😭😭

She's 1!

This is a week late, but my baby is 1!

4th of July Festival (to go or to not go)

Good evening ladies! I have a minor dilemma that I could use some input on, ideally from other mothers who have had 2 under 2, especially less than 12 months apart in age. For context, my younger daughter turns 2.5 on June 20th, and my older daughter just turned 3 on February 16th. Yes, they're 10 months apart in age. 😅😭 I want to take my daughters to their first 4th of July festival this year so badly. I love going to festivals and seeing firework shows, and I want my daughters to have fun experiences. There will be free bounce houses, so I know they would enjoy that too. One problem is that, more likely than not, it's going to be extremely hot. We generally try to avoid being outside if the daytime high is going to be 87° (30.5° for those who use the metric system) or higher. I know arguably that could be avoided by going later in the evening but the point is that when the maximum temperature of the day is going to be so high, that heat still lingers into the evening, especially when it's humid.

In any case, this intertwines into the 2nd problem. The fireworks show doesn't begin until 9:15 and it ends at 9:45. It just feels so late to be out with two young toddlers, especially considering the fact that it would take a minimum of 20 minutes to walk back to the car. My older daughter is usually ready to sleep between 9:45 to 10:00 right now, and my younger daughter is usually ready to sleep between 10:15 to 10:30. Being out so late with them would undoubtedly lead to sleepy meltdowns and throwing off their sleep routine.

I'm just so tired of missing out on doing fun activities like this with them, but it just feels like it's not going to happen for another year or two. 😞 By all means I would at least try to make up for it by doing our own fireworks display, but North Carolina has pretty strict fireworks laws, and regardless of what we would be allowed to do legally, our HOA doesn't allow any fireworks. 🙄😡 My husband nor I have any family or friends in the state in which we live, so going to family or friends is not an option. What would you do in my situation?

Birthday party planning trouble

My food plans just went out the window. And best part l have no idea who's coming invited 50 kids (elementary kids) and only 9 have responded. So my idea/plan was. Cook hot dogs and burgers at the park/playground on a grill that we have. Today decided to stop by to see how much shade there would be. And there's a big sign saying NO grills, NO open fire, NO electric grills basically do not cook here. So do l just order pizza or do l cook at my house (10 minutes from park) and bring it there?

Worried I didn't respond to a mom correctly when asked for a ride to a party we were not invited to

I have autism and social interactions are hard for me. I do not have a poker face when I am disappointed, feel left out ect. This morning I took my twins who are 5 to school like always. I do not know the other parents beyond morning greetings although I'd like to. Another Mom asked me if I'd be able to pick her up and take them to the end of year class party on June 26. I have a mini van so I'm a good person to ask. I realized then that my children who have disabilities were excluded from this class party because we have not recieved an invite. this other mom was assuming we were going because everyone was invited. I tried so hard to hide my disappointment but I failed and said I would be willing to give her a ride anytime but we were not invited so she should ask someone else. She said the invites came out two weeks ago. Did I do ok? I'm feeling unsure now and will overthink it all day
