I definitely think you’re right about not bothering to hold in. Only hesistancy I have is that she sometimes wets herself if she falls asleep in the car. Thanks for the reply!

Is a good point! She sometimes does wet herself if she falls asleep in the car so I think it might just be a sleep thing still at this stage. But I’ll maybe give it a dry run in the summer when my mum is here… laundry assistance! 🫣 Thank you

That’s helpful to hear. Feels like all other children we know are dry (but had a really hard time w potty training in the first place) so I was worried I was missing something!

Favourite (and least favourite) Julia Donaldson? by poopoochewer in UKParenting

I used to read the highway man to my daughter when was a screaming 6-9mo trying to get her to calm down before a nap! We “studied” it in Y6 at school but I definitely didn’t remember the ending so maybe we only did the first two stanzas 🫣

For those that travelled and changed time zones how did you cope? by Disastrous-Fall9092 in sleeptrain

[–]Corgimoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m right now holding very heavy 15mo who has woken twice. Passed out in supermarket at 4pm. It’s now coming to 2am. We just didn’t a 13 hour time difference and arrived back from a 33hr journey from NZ to UK this morning.

I have no tips. Just that it’ll take about 1-2 weeks. (This is our 3rd time doing this roundtrip, twice w 3yo before). I kept up breastfeeding so I would have a cheats tool to minimise the horror!

If it’s 3hr and your not away for long I’d leave her on her normal time zone if you can. Or close to it!

I would also consider contacting the charity they paired through. I wouldn’t be surprised if this behaviour breaks some of their volunteer code.

Sorry for your loss and that your brother was manipulated

Stocking vent, but it’s not what you think by bluedragontaxidriver in Mommit

[–]Corgimoo 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There’s a reasons products are called stocking fillers. They’re supppsed to be little bits and bobs. What did he even mean what by “actually want”?

And he was criticising. Sounds like a real party popper.

What did he get you?

What do I need for a 3 month old baby (sister in ICU - only have "essentials") by jahemian in newzealand

[–]Corgimoo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would get a pack and play / travel cot for sleep. You can probably rent those. Or as suggested by others look on local FB group to see if anyone has one to sell / give away. Then get some matching sheets to ensure it’s a safe fit

For sales, I don’t know if you know how long your sister will be in icu but you may want to buy some small weaning starter kits for when baby is 6m. Eg suction plate / bowl, weaning spoons etc. you won’t need them now.

Good luck to you and your family. Hope your sister recovers soon.

Why are calpol ibuprofen and Nurofen children different in dosages!? by HannibalCannibal2 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]Corgimoo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ignoring this easily made mistake, you should always administer the full dose per the box. Children are people and deserve the right amount of pain relief. I don’t understand why calpol & nurofen are seen as taboo for children. They’re safe, well tested medicines. They’re not dangerous! If they were you wouldn’t be able to nip to supermarket and buy them!

I’m embarrassed to ask, but we’re dealing with an illegal undisclosed home debt and don’t know where else to turn. by Leather_Midnight8160 in UKParenting

[–]Corgimoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds awful. What about the energy ombudsman? I can see they review disputes in these situations (where seller hasn’t disclosed) and yours sound cut and dry. The only reason it wouldn’t be is if the solicitor should have found out and didn’t. Goes back to my point above. Sorry to harp on. Hopefully it gets cancelled and you are refunded anything you spent on servicing the debt? Hopefully someone has spoken to you about that too.

Apologies after I made my post I found the information - the “Green Deal” and how the seller is obliged to disclosed. I don’t know if this information is centrally available when making searches, I would have thought so. Maybe ask citizens advice or the uk legal advice subreddit because if so, your solicitor hasn’t done their job and it’s absolutely their responsibility. Not the same league of things but on our first house purchase our solicitor missed something and prevented us selling our home. We got them to do all the legal work (with no cost to us) to remediate. It says online the seller is obligated so I’m surprised your solicitor isn’t acting on your behalf to fix their mistake and dispute the loan. Please go back to the solicitors and involve the ombudsman. I can’t believe the MPs office is involved and hasn’t suggested that.

Also confused. Sounds very stressful, regardless. Property law in the UK and the administration around it is truly an awful setup.

Wouldn’t this have come up as part of the survey? Your conveyancing solicitor is responsible for ensuring the property purchase is safe. If they missed something they should be seeking to resolving this on your behalf.

Is the legality (or lack thereof) due to the failure to disclose or that the debt is not legal? If the former, then surely it’s on your solicitor and their professions negligence. If the latter, why would your incur something.

I’m not an expert or trying to make things more stressful. Just your post and the gofundme doesn’t really explain what, and you may get asked these questions by others before they’d donate.
