Anyone else think it's weird when you see grandparents out with young grandkids?

I wondered what opinions are on this. It always strikes me as odd when I see grandparents out with young grandkids. Like where are the parents? My own parents are of the attitude well we did our job, now you have children it's up to you. I just find it odd people have parents that do that, personally.

Issues with my fiancé

We recently had our baby in November and before she arrived we got a house together. A house I literally just finished decorating and making it my dream home. Our baby had to be transferred to another hospital. She was there a little while before coming home right before Christmas. Everything was great until she tur...

Background: FTM who had c section 11 days ago. Long rant! My OH is mad at my mum for some comments she has made in the past about his family (even though I condemned her for them despite a hint of truth behind it), he has taken it upon himself to make her feel unwelcome and uncomfortable to come over. She took 3 we...

Leaving the hospital

Does anyone know what the actual rules are surrounding when we take baby home after he’s born? I thought we HAD to carry him out in a car seat? My partner doesn’t like this and is like ‘why can’t I just carry him out in my arms and put him in the car seat in the car?’ I’m not fussed either way I’m just looking for...

Slipped on the stairs

Don’t judge me because I already feel horrendous but I slipped on the stairs whilst carrying my 13 week old, I have no idea how. I was only down one step but we both landed on our backs on the carpeted step. She sobbed for a minute like she did when she had her jabs done (which made me cry my eyes out) and then she ...
