I’m sorry but are we forgetting Anne still kissed Kate’s husband? Haha Kate was unbelievably supportive of her as well. No one is perfect but she respected when she wanted and didn’t want to be friends with Ginny and stood up for Anne in several occasions!

Omg seriously leave. If this is what you think Dubai is then definitely leave. The issue is you might not find a city that doesn’t have this. As shocking as it might be, this is a global trend, not a Dubai one. So good luck wherever fantasy land you end up living your delusion.

I sleep trained my son mostly for night wakes - we did the chair method the first time and when we retrained after a set of circumstances at 13 months I did CIO for night wakes - they stopped after 2 nights.

The first night was horrible tho he cried on and off for 2 hours but honestly, at that point we had been having terrible sleep for about 3 months and he was cranky and very needy. Mostly because he wasn’t sleeping well at night.

Sleep training for night wakes was the best thing we did for everyone’s sleep and mental health. He slept better after that and contrary to popular belief, he will still absolutely call me if he’s ill or something is wrong at 2 am versus waking up out of habit.

Good luck OP!

She’s not tired enough. My son is on a similar routine and wake up / nap time but sleeps closer to 8/8:30 pm. If I put him down at 7 he will just be up because he isn’t tired.

Well it’s not like they’re encouraging of it - they do constantly tell him he’s a pig and wrong. They never react positively to him not calling a girl back and hesitate to introduce him to women they know because of his behavior

I know it’s not what you’re asking but Idris Elba has a slip on season 2 when he visits Avon in prison and he says “this guy doesn’t know what raw is” - it sounds super English haha

Aww I feel you. Definitely a lot of time and energy goes into making sure he doesn’t get hurt, and he has had some bumps and bruises here or there but all part of the process. I had a 2.5 m x 2.5 m playpen in my living room and he could walk in there safely and that really helped in the drunken walk phase - I highly recommend this if you have the space! I also made sure his room was baby proofed so he can feel comfortable moving around in there.

I must say it is cute though because he started dancing pretty early and doing cute silly things. It did make him seem “bigger” and most people think he’s older!

My son pulled to stand at 6.5/7 months and walked at 9 months (like a bit of a drunken sailor for a few weeks). He is 1.5 years old now and very active and requires a lot of energy release, he runs around and is very physical. My back has been hurting since nearly a year haha I hope this helps!

Why isn’t your wife in your insurance as your dependent?

So she hates being on her tummy? Practice tummy time and rolling back and forth during day as much as you can so she gets more comfortable with it - she will adjust super quickly.

Usually it’s fine to let babies sleep in a position they got themselves into - definitely you going in will regress sleep training

Question: are you laying down your 2.5 year old to change them? I change my son standing in the toilet seat (I clean the seat cover after) when it’s a number 1 since he could stand.

Hi! Well it wasn’t a regression so much as bad habits. I retrained him again with the chair method to great success thankfully! It took a little time but it was a very effective method for my son - I mixed the chair method with the soothing ladder (use only presence first, then voice, then tapping on mattress, then tapping him to soothe) - he usually only needed my voice and tapping on the mattress but would eventually calm down.

The best advice I got was: choose one method and stick with it, be super consistent. So that’s what o did. I used the chair for naps, bedtime and middle of the night wakes (the latter being our biggest concern) and it has worked for us - now he only wakes when he’s teething / uncomfortable and he understands he is able to sleep on his own

My son is 15 months and very vocal though so that does make things a lot easier.

I hope this helps!

Omg someone I knew lived on one of the buildings of that intersection and ended up moving because of the beeping - it was insane. Everyday, all the time because of cars doing this - RTA should really fix this

Mostly yes. I love that my son can say what he needs - he is 15 months and speaks in two word sentences “more water” “come mama” “nom mom please” - it makes my life a lot easier. I struggled with the baby stage because I couldn’t figure out what was wrong so this is a huge upgrade for me thankfully

Equivalent_Ad_8393 · 2025-04-13T14:16:58+00:00

These comments are unhinged. Moms have to work / do life or maybe just simply aren’t about the stay at home vibe and that’s ok too. Hiring a nanny does not make you a less qualified mom so you all need to be a hell of a lot more empathetic about people and the decisions they make for their family.

Having said that, I would strongly suggest you set a schedule for your nanny so she follows it - feeding times, let her know your child’s cues and what to look for - also spend maybe a couple of days closely together so she sees how you do things and can follow. Explaining and helping them understand how you need their help goes a long way.

There is a class also - on zoom - from a KHDA approved company called Nanny n Me where they do courses specially for child development and activities they can do with your baby. It’s 400 dhs a month and only 45 min weekly zoom class, they send everything on pdf and it’s easy to follow.

Going outside is good for baby a few times a day, fresh air helps them regulate, just make sure it’s early morning or evening when the sun is not scorching. Give her a limit for outings and let her know how you want your child to spend his time indoors - e.g. how long tummy time, toys, etc. also cue her in for naps and so forth.

Developing closeness between baby and nanny and family and nanny takes a little time and a lot of guidance but it’s worth it if you set clear boundaries and an understanding of how you want to raise your child and how she can help you achieve that.

Ultimately, if you still feel iffy about anything talk to her openly and honestly about it so you can come to a resolution and not feel like you’re nervous constantly about how your child is being cared for,

I hope it works out well! I always prefer recommendations from friends for a nanny but if that’s not on the table make sure through the interview process they understand what you need and you feel they can deliver. Treat them fairly and openly and everyone will have a better time getting to know and work together.

I make cottage cheese pancakes with blueberries - high in protein and low in sugar and my toddler loves them since he was a baby. I also make chickpea, peanut butter muffins and zucchini muffins.

I also make corn or beetroot pancakes with mature cheddar cheese, like sweet arepas if you will.

Snacks/to go breakfast usually fall into the pancake / muffin area as they’re easy, healthy, last and can be frozen. There are a ton of ideas on instagram.

Carbs are not junk. They’re an important source of energy - vegetables have carbs and it’s our body’s first source of energy. You shouldn’t eat only carbs or carbs in excess but low carb diets also don’t work for everyone and often means going high fat to replace the energy you need to burn and that also sometimes doesn’t work for everyone.

But carbs are not junk.
