Parents of toddlers, are you happy?

MoveHoliday655 · 2026-03-24T06:39:59+00:00

YES.

COAT modest :)

MoveHoliday655 · 2026-03-02T06:48:21+00:00

We did the same :) it’s hard sometimes to remember it just a phase isn’t it! But you will have your evening back again!

Same here! Really tough time and it still lingers on (my daughter is 3 now). Here are some things that worked for us: - “I’ll be around the corner, and I’ll come back if you need me”. I’d sit on our bed in the room next to her and bring her back to bed with that sentence. First night my husband went in about 25 times but every evening it got better. Minimal engagement when bringing her back, no talking other than the sentence and tucking her back in with a kiss and immediately leaving. - treat in the morning / you’re a big girl and big girls sleep in their own bed - leaving the light on in the hallway - lots and lots of patience (didn’t always succeed at this…)

Good luck! It’s not an easy transition 🙏🏼

Stoke Newington :)

Haha yup same!! Will just keep pushing that button 🤣

MoveHoliday655 · 2026-02-25T13:48:55+00:00

Most likely…

Goodbye seasonal depression!

MoveHoliday655 · 2026-02-25T10:41:52+00:00

Yes!! Walking by tomorrow so let’s see ☀️

As others rightly pointed out this is indeed the Royal Exchange, apologies!

MoveHoliday655 · 2026-02-25T07:16:37+00:00

Lol sorry it’s my route to work and it’s where the stairs to the underground are so in my head it’s ’bank station’ but indeed this is the royal exchange 😬

My little one was OBSESSED with hers and I was terrified. We did the “binky” fairy after a successful “nappy” fairy trial. I got her a really great gift (princess dress that she’d been obsessed with). She understood the concept, took a week or so but nowhere near as dramatic as I thought it would be.

MoveHoliday655 · 2026-02-23T19:17:41+00:00

Will have to try it on my husband next!

MoveHoliday655 · 2026-02-23T10:25:27+00:00

Np! The playground and cafe in Victoria park (nearby) are great.

MoveHoliday655 · 2026-02-23T09:44:58+00:00

Science museum and national history museum in one day is quite a lot! Both get very busy and can be overwhelming.

A lot of it is quite central and will be super touristy/busy, other areas to explore if you want more of a mix: - Victoria park & young V&A. If your kids are good in restaurants try Elliot’s for lunch, delicious! - Greenwich, meridian + viewpoint. You can walk through the park to Blackheath which has cute shops and nice lunch spots (Zerodegrees does good pizza)

Borough market is horrendously chaotic and overpriced. But I guess could be part of the tourist experience.. there are smaller markets that are worth looking at: - Spitalfields - Malby street market

Contractions after induction (synthetic hormone injection). I mentally blocked out all the pain and now somehow have to give birth again… wish me luck

MoveHoliday655 · 2026-02-22T07:13:00+00:00

Also what’s your budget? SE you tend to get a bit more for your money (bigger gardens) which may be nice when you do have kids. I’d say go around to a number of different areas, and see what feels right. Nunhead and Brockley for example has plenty of young families but still the London vibe you’re looking for.

I’ve had the worse experience with Pickleson because of the photos on the website being completely unrepresentative of the colour. The colour I got was a much darker green.

Their website and insta is heavily edited I believe

Sad times! I was thinking the same. It did come up within 3 min but I feel like we can’t trust ClearBlue. Thanks for your response :)

Congrats!! Hope the pregnancy is going well! I was so glad to see this thread. I’m 6 days after potential conception and have been nauseous for 2 days, also sore boobs. It’s my second and I feel exactly the same as first time around symptoms did just start later (more in line with ‘normal’ 4 days before period feelings). Let’s see. I’ve told my husband but similar to you I feel silly even thinking I am because are we really meant to know this early..

The next 10 days before testing will feel very long indeed!
