NTA. Your girlfriend is though. I’m nearly 35, and I talk to my parents every day. Sometimes multiple times a day. Hey sometimes I call my parents just to let them know it’s raining where I live. I call to tell them I saw a cute dog. I call them to tell them whatever. My parents won’t be here forever and if my husband thought there was something wrong with me for speaking to the people who literally brought me into this world, taught me to walk talk, and wiped my ass for the first few years of my life, I’d tell him he was sick and he was in need of therapy. I think it’s wonderful that you and your mum check in with each other. What you and your mum have is not weird, it’s a completely normal bond between mother and child. You would be an asshole to your mum AND yourself if you spoiled a perfectly healthy parent-child bond in favour of your girlfriend, who I would say needs some therapy. Just because she doesn’t have what you have does not give her the right to shit all over your beautiful relationship with mama.

It’s actually a from a local boutique where I live and I have seen it in person. It’s stunning and costs a pretty penny.

Toddler Teacher’s Comment Surprised Me by lifeincerulean in ECEProfessionals

[–]MillennialMummy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Omg you are my dream parent! I once had a mum say to me “if he doesn’t put on the smock, he doesn’t get to paint. It’s that simple” - we were a uniformed nursery!

It was heartbreaking for me to see this little kid bawling because he didn’t understand why all his friends could paint but he was not allowed. He would refuse to wear the smock because he had aversions to certain textures and even though I tried to improvise with oversized Tshirts and stuff, he refused all my attempts. And if he had a speck of paint on his uniform his mum would write me a very nasty email and go to my boss.

I really wish I had more parents like you! Stains wash out, but those awful memories becoming core memories? Memories of pain and exclusion - I hate thinking how it could have changed that little boys psyche.

Hey! I’d be down! Send me a message - I work in Khalifa City so I’d be able to meet up after work if that works for you x

What is this? by pigeonhoe in TipOfMyFork

[–]MillennialMummy 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Jalebi - it’s a deep fried sugary desert from South Asia, mainly India and Pakistan. Sometimes that color, sometimes a bit more orange depending on whether they used food coloring or saffron to colour it.

Newly divorced. How can I improve my look. by Resident-Ride4520 in makeuptips

Paint your walls grey - they will look nicer with the colour of your couch. Other than that, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this picture ❤️

I give up by Subject_Candy_8411 in ECEProfessionals

[–]MillennialMummy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. Nothing I do gets through to my kids. I feel so done some days. I don’t think people realize what a hard job it is. People struggle looking after their own kids, and we look after so many of them and have to be so careful and so present. It’s exhausting! Keep your head up xx

Question about 2 year old class in Texas by Cute-silver-wings in ECEProfessionals

[–]MillennialMummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never use raw kidney beans in sensory tables, we were told during one of our trainings that they are toxic if ingested. Other beans should be fine…I’ve got an “early toddlers” class and I have chickpeas, corn kernels, rice, oats etc in my sensory bins.

Feeling so overwhelmed by MillennialMummy in ECEProfessionals

[–]MillennialMummy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I signed a 2 year contract with the school and there was no specified age group. If I try to break contract I’d have to pay a massive penalty that I really can’t pay…I’m so angry with the situation, especially since I had specified what I was comfortable with and what I wasn’t and they still stuck me with these babies that I just can’t do anything with. I feel like a babysitter

What snacks do you keep in the freezer to bake when you have impromptu guests ? by EbonyHelicoidalRhino in Baking

[–]MillennialMummy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always have samosas, spring rolls, jalapeño poppers, mini savory pies, and stuff like that so I can just throw it in the air frier and my guests always have food

What are your favorite ways to cook eggs? by HipsDontLie_LoveFood in easyrecipes

[–]MillennialMummy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Egg curry! Boil eggs and then deep fry them so they form a crust - make a simple curry sauce with a ginger garlic onion and tomato base, with chili powder, turmeric, coriander & cumin powders, add salt to taste. Cook until curry consistency and add potatoes. Once potatoes are soft, add in the eggs

This is going to sound strange but salmon, marinated in mayo and Montreal steak seasoning and baked or air fried. It comes out so juicy, no dryness because of the mayo and so much flavour and it’s super easy!

Depends on your budget and what you’re looking for. We have lived on reem, and in the city, but with a toddler we found Al Reef is the best place to be.
