Wreckless spouse

I’m just in disbelief, today we decided to take my husbands car & take the kids to the zoo. He used his car seat. Our 6 month old baby wasn’t even buckled with the car seat straps 🤦🏽‍♀️! I asked him why he said “oh that don’t work” I tried it and it buckled. Then he fasted her to the cars seat belt while the car…

My solution right now would b...

Car seat safety - Nuna Arra

My LO absolutely hates the car and always has. We have a Nuna arra seat where the newborn insert comes out when they are 60cm. Ive measured him and he's over 60cm so I've taken the newborn insert out but his head is flopping forward and it looks horrible. It wasn't like that with the insert in. Has anyone else taken...

Dubai holiday

Hiya! We are heading to Dubai in a few months and I was wondering if anyone took their car seat with them? We are staying in Ras and will be going into Dubai once during our stay. Did anyone find the taxi companies out there offered car seats and were they good? Thanks ☺️

Hi guys, I've booked to go to craig tara and due to go in a couple weeks.. booked an 8 berth caravan but only 4 people on the booking.

AITA for making my 3 year old play....

I'm a special educator & my LO just turned 3. My husband noticed it's hard for our LO to go and play with their toys. I have to work hard on curriculum being engaging, fun & more play based in my field. We can spend an hour or more each playing with our LO. I had an unexpected radical hysterectomy at 27 years old....
