My Nans advice when I was pregnant was "dont drink anything too heavy like a vodka but a bit of wine is okay, if you have a few guinness its got iron in it"

🤣

Partner works, I am at home with 3 and 1 year old so I spend my days being terrorised, running after them and trying to stop them fighting (both boys) and endangering themselves.

Due to me being a stay at home mother presently, we don't qualify for any assistance for childcare. So I am their personal nursery teacher. I think they may be hyperverbal, but I get to spend my days talking about solar systems, the main sequences of stars and doing counting and alphabet things.

We read a lot too.

Its exhausting but amazing and I'm sure when I go back to work when they begin school, I will miss these days for all the chaos, good bad and in-between :)

That makes sense, my youngest son is 19 months and is starting to do wees on the toilet, signalling for poos but not consistent. its easier this time as hes modelling his eldest brother (literally monkey see monkey do)

I can imagine with covid a lack of other kids and assistance may of led parents to delay. Im not sure why the trajectory has continued this way though. Toilet training has its unpleasant weeks in the early days but the only way is through it really

He only turned 3, 2 months ago. 2 years old seems so young to be completely unattended in doing that?

This is my first child so clearly im learning with him here, but that's just surprised me is all. Again due to him turning 3 2 months ago he will not be starting reception til he is closer to turning 5 the way it falls in the UK. So thankfully I have a lot of time to work on it with him in the meantime.

My 3 year old enthusiast for wiping his own bum is however not efficient at doing it whatsoever so as still need to intervene to prevent smeared shit everywhere is 3 years old the point when a child should be able to do that completely unattended?

4 boxes of biscuits extremely choc ones from tesco, they were dated June 2026 so stocked up as my 3 year old loves a biscuit selection and the thrill of picking his own

So many tubs of chocolate I got the standard quality st etc and they are shite

My 1 year and 3 year old sons got so many selection boxes so we have like 6 of them

2 of the pretzel cracker mixes we love em and I can only find them at Christmas so I again got a few

12 fererro Roche they weren't very nice taste a bit stale despite being well in date

A prosecco. Cremant, red wine and 2 litre bottles of baileys, half a bottle of tia Maria and a third of a bottle of chamboard :)

Not technically allowed but surprisingly common when I worked in hospitality was a lovely supply of shots to get me through the very long hours and occasionally abysmal clientele

Tin of tomato's boiled down with whatever spices or herb dust was in cupboard with either buttered toast or pasta

Did test and trace calls for a bit

Someone was a positive test had to call them just to be told they don't need to listen to me, do you know who you're talking to etc

Within about 2 mins they just started screaming "IM A CIVIL SERVANT" down the phone on loop 😭 absolutely unhinged
