My little one has broke his arm at nursery. I can’t bloody believe it. We’ve been in hospital since 2 pm yesterday and still not had an op. we’re next on the list
So I don't usually comment here, as my daughter isn't a toddler yet, but reading ahead you know.I just need to rant about my friend. I love her to bits but I feel like we’re really clashing lately. She’s out spoken and quite bolshy. She has two kids her oldest is a month younger than mine. I feel I should stress she didn’t birth the babies her girlfriend did. They used a sperm donor. She’s made a few digs that mine is clingy cos I let him sleep in my bed. She said them going in their own room is part of growing up / gaining independence. And she also said if you put them to bed awake they’re less likely to be clingy during the night. She’s said before as well that I should get him out of my bed before he goes to school. Why does it matter where he sleeps as long as me him and my partner are ok with it. . I always feel inferior to her cos mine is quite clingy. Doesn’t sleep in his own room and isn’t a little genius like her daughter. I can’t really get this off my chest to anyone else. My other friend knows her and I feel she would take her side too just cos of her parenting style. I mentioned it to my fella and he said tell her to do 1 all kids are different . I’m not sure why it bothers me so much. But mine actually sleeps really well most of the time. Just the other week he kept waking up but touch wood he’s slept well for the last two and she’s always moaning she’s hardly slept. Parenting is so hard sometimes. I don’t really know what the point of this was. I just wanted to get it written down somewhere .
The only people who don’t like screen time are people that don’t have kidsWe did a 4 hour flight to Cyprus in the summer with a 2.5 year old. I was hoping she'd sleep on the plane but we got like 30 mins each way at most.
Her nanny was sat behind us (that's my mum, not hired help ) and she loved just popping her head up over the seat and saying Hi. I think the only thing we really used on the plane to keep her occupied was food and her Amazon tablet! I know some people don't like screens but I really did not want her running up and down the aisle and having to keep my eyes on where she was, so she sat in the middle between me and her dad and just played games/watched a film.
It went miles better than expected (in fact, the whole holiday was a breeze compared to being at home!)
She's getting there, thank you!awwww!! My daughter is how you described yours in the first paragraph!
hope everyone is well!
@WhatABore how is your daughter doing after her hospital stay?
stop it i woke up him lol cos i was worried he’d wake up at 10.30 or something and start raving. he jumped off the couch and went ‘cereal please, nursery soon’ and thought it was morning! then he called me naughty for waking him up and said he didn’t want my silly spaghettiOmg mine did this once. I put him in bed for the night as he wouldn’t wake up either. And he woke up at like 730.
I don't, personallyDoes anyone else make meal after meal if their child doesn’t eat much of the one they’ve had for tea? My daughters asked for a picky tea, ham, grapes, crackers and garlic bread. She ate 2 slices of garlic bread and spat the ham out so I’ve just made her sausages, veg and eggs .. i really hate the thought of her going hungry and if she wakes up at 4am wanting food im the only one up with her. I know I shouldn’t and im not teaching her anything by making her more food if she doesn’t eat the first lot but she really is so fussy
this reminds me of the other day, my toddler put his hand in the bath and went ‘Mummy! my hands wet!’ i felt like saying no shit sherlock you’ve just put it in the bathHe had an ice lolly. There was 1 lick left and it’s ‘I don’t like it. It’s cold’
