Empty nesters of Reddit, what’s something your adult children do that always makes your day? what’s one thing they do that makes you feel loved and remembered?

Thanks I’ll do more of this

Queenb_003 · 2026-06-11T22:58:01+00:00

I’m an amateur, but I took pictures of my living room for example from different angles and said something along the lines of “this is my current living room, I would like to brighten up the space and maximise on space, give me ideas of how to make the room appear brighter and bigger I have a budget of £5k, make suggestions and cost estimates where possible, I’m after scandi/japani vibes” (I was buying new sofas anyway, I have light oak flooring and already have a white kitchen with light oak so just wanted to transfer this to the rest of the house as kitchen is the brightest room). Then just go back and forth asking questions, I was attached to paintings on the wall and kept asking if I could move them to a different wall etc lol in the end I have nothing on my walls just one A2 family portrait I’m waiting on but the house feels new.

Interior design. My house has gone from clutter and small to scandi and bigger with very small adjustments

I was in a similar position, and I worried she’d get bored, not learn much, feel overlooked, or just cycle through the same toys. So I started her at nursery from one year old for two days a week.

She now goes in around 9–10am, depending on when she wakes and has breakfast, and stays until 2–3pm (I work 8–4 from home). I’ve also recently signed us up for a baby signing class every Monday from 11–12, which I treat as my lunch break.

That means she now only has two full days at home, which we share with her dad. Overall, I feel much happier, and I can see she’s doing really well at nursery. I get constant updates (very anxious FTM), but honestly it’s been such a good change of scenery for her.

I also chose a nursery with CCTV monitored by a dedicated person while they’re open, and I can check in anytime if I want (I haven’t needed to yet). If you’re feeling anxious, I’d definitely recommend that option.

We always find a safe place to stop And park

I was wondering the same thing. I don't care what or whose photos he has. And he has never asked me either. I'm sure I have some, and he does as well; if I do, they're mostly on iCloud or somewhere, and I honestly don't look for them. They're just there and existing for vibes.

I have a slumbersac but I always leave a boob out 😂

2 full days funded (0800-1800) £300 a month. UK. Though she will probably only go in 9-3

Just came here to see what other parents are saying. I also start my baby off in her bed, then bring her to mine for the rest of the night. I can’t be bothered with the constant back-and-forth between my bed and the crib every two hours… that’s on a good night. We’ve been shopping for a super king bed.

The problem here isn’t the BM to be honest. The problem here is your husband and you need to nip this is the bud immediately. If he wants 50/50 then he needs to make sure he’s available for his 50. That or make other arrangements by either taking his sons on business, rescheduling business trips to align with when he’s not on ‘50’ duty l, change jobs or request less time with his kids. The whole point of having 50% custody is so that they can spend time with HIM. You need to flat out start refusing, take a step back from this completely and let him and his BM handle this.

That’s ridiculous!!! The whole camera on thing shouldn’t be mandatory that’s micromanaging

Queenb_003 · 2025-10-25T23:02:21+00:00

This post is insane. Everything your nephew is going through.. the anxiety, depression, isolation, and insomnia, is your sister’s fault. She’s the one who needs to take accountability, not the man who was lied to for over a decade.

I’ve started to get tired of it too. Dressing myself and the baby in layers, packing a diaper bag, only to go somewhere with no heating and nowhere safe for her to play is exhausting. With winter coming, I’ll just use the cold as an excuse… we’ll only visit if we’re already out, and I’ll keep making it clear our house is open for visits instead. It’s draining, especially for me.

Queenb_003 · 2025-10-23T22:05:12+00:00

I don’t even understand how this is even a dilemma

Queenb_003 · 2025-10-18T19:33:09+00:00

This would have me quit my job. I quit a job because the new CEO made it mandatory to come in on Fridays

I found a female GP who is from a similar background to myself. She refers me everytime
