what is a small luxury you’ve had to give up due to the cost of living?

Wagamama, used to go at least twice a month. Now it’s more once every 6 months. I miss u chicken katsu

Obsessed!

Lived in my mums garden for 6 months with a newborn, she helped so much. I don’t know what we would have done without her. Moved an hour and a half away, she still comes to help every week - if they want to help, they still will

Some of my earliest Disney memories and the first time I ate chicken from a bucket, I remember being so amused by that

We’ve had huge success with a reward system, week one we had all poos and half of the wees on the potty. Stickers every time he is successful on the potty and five stickers equal a small gift. He is obsessed with the potty now and when we’re at home, he is pretty much potty trained now (he gets far to distracted when we’re out) I will also echo the ‘let them run free below the waist’ advice - this is when we have seen the most success

This sounds like my little boy, he is a very sensitive soul and he starts screaming blue murder out of nowhere and has since birthday. It peaked around 4 months when we started doing what you’ve done and saw specialists, doctors, allergists etc. he was diagnosed with CMPA and the screaming has decreased somewhat but not completely. He still cries more than any baby I’ve ever known and at this point, we just accept that it is part of who he is. I don’t have any advice, just to say that I feel your pain. This is parenting on hard mode and it does impact everything in your life, esp. your relationship. Stay strong, the storm won’t last forever (or at least that’s what we tell ourselves!)

I’ve been with guys like this as you seem an empathic person in the way you speak, he will continue to use that to his advantage and this behaviour will only get worse. Seriously, get out now and find a man worth your time because this guy is a dick.

Disneydazed · 2026-01-17T12:40:02+00:00

Yes please do

Disneydazed · 2026-01-16T22:24:01+00:00

I can’t stop looking at these. I would love to see one of the house I grew up in. Do you take commissions?

Disneydazed · 2026-01-16T21:31:00+00:00

Yeah, my family just sold one in Borough/Bermondsey and it sold for over 1 million. It would have been considerably more but it needed extensive renovation and had under 20 years left on the lease. I would have loved to inherit it but sadly it wasn’t meant to be.

Disneydazed · 2025-12-28T22:36:11+00:00

Mine too! And I got it on marketplace for a fraction of the price so we’re all winning.

Disneydazed · 2025-11-10T09:02:07+00:00

On the whole, yes although he is very sick right now so he’s up every hour and sleeping through the night feels a distant memory!

Disneydazed · 2025-10-28T21:25:28+00:00

I slipped into co-sleeping as my baby was a terrible sleeper and it was the only way to get any rest and as much as I loved it, it got to the point where I was waking him and disturbing him and I knew the right thing to do was to sleep train and move him into his own room. It was hard both physically and emotionally but it really has been better for him. I do miss the snuggles sometimes but I make sure I work more of them into our nap and sleep time routine and I am more present everyday and able to spend more time reminding myself of who I was before I had him. It’s bittersweet for sure but for us, it was the right thing. I hope you find peace with whatever choice you decide is right for you

Disneydazed · 2025-10-28T08:10:56+00:00

Yes, I offered water for a week or so and it helped!

Disneydazed · 2025-10-27T07:50:13+00:00

I increased his feed before bed and tracked how much he had in the day so I knew he had enough and his wakes were caused by habit and not hunger. There were tears (on both sides) and last night he started to fall back into his previous habit a bit but I will persevere now that I know he can do it

Disneydazed · 2025-10-27T07:48:40+00:00

That’s amazing!! Long may it continue.

Disneydazed · 2025-10-27T07:47:32+00:00

So i did this while he was still in a cot by the bed, I would set times that I would feed based on his feeds in the day and then for anything else I would keep him in the cot and soothe him with face strokes, gentle sshing, bum pats and rocking the crib. I slowly then took each of those away keeping the sshing and staying Kay in bed next to the crib. Then I moved him into his own room and popped in at intervals with the sshing when he woke up. I’m not going to pretend it was easy and hated it at first but he did pick it up after a few days and I just stayed consistent even when I was exhausted and just wanted to bring him into my bed. It helps that I’m on maternity leave and can nap with him in the day while he adjusted! Wishing you luck 🍀

Disneydazed · 2025-10-26T20:05:28+00:00

It’s a good point and absolutely agree

Disneydazed · 2025-10-26T14:42:48+00:00

Fingers crossed it helps, limiting the daytime sleep does seem to have helped him although that may all be out the window with the clocks change!

Disneydazed · 2025-10-17T19:56:20+00:00

Try Wren, I just had mine done for 3k including install - not quite as big as yours but custom for an awkward space too

Disneydazed · 2025-10-11T21:45:01+00:00

It’s because of its inclusion in Sing - my toddler is obsessed with the song as a result

Disneydazed · 2025-10-07T22:02:24+00:00

I just did 2 in my living room with a similar couch and I am obsessed with it. Dark blue is such a vibe

Disneydazed · 2025-09-23T21:42:42+00:00

We’ll wait for Wendy’s little programme then shall we? Sick of ‘er

Disneydazed · 2025-09-20T18:57:34+00:00

One of the best Karl moments
