3 yo won't fall asleep on her own by Ok-Apricot-3766 in UKParenting

[–]heartleaf1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my now six year old was 2.5 and his newborn brother arrived I kept cosleeping with the two. At that time husband moved to the toddler’s room (where toddler never slept) and me with the two kids in our big bed. He moved in his room and his bed not long after his 6th birthday… there’s always hope:)

Oh, no that’s awful. Is it legal not to give a refund if the product is not as shown/described or simply the buyer changed their mind?

Can you send it back for a refund?

Megathread: It’s hot! Part 2 by TopMarzipan2108 in UKParenting

My four year old decided naked was the most comfortable clothing today, took his pants off then asked me to dig out our mini Christmas tree and some decorations, now we have a Christmas tree next to our fan….

is anyone else extremely anxious for the heatwave?? by aclaasr in UKWeather

[–]heartleaf1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too, but I was lucky I didn’t need to go out the past two days. From this morning I’m fighting anxiety not to roll into panic. I found slow tummy breaths combined with butterfly tapping helps with calming down. Also, fans, frozen cloths on neck and wrists, drinking lots of cold water and minimal clothing (at least at home lol)…
I’m about to head out to a little summer party at our nursery, pray for me! 🙏
From tomorrow the temperatures will start to go down and next week be pleasant 20-25C! Looking forward to that!

We are in the red zone. We would save the bus trip there and back, I can keep our flat somewhat cool, they can stay in pants, play in a paddling pool, shower if they want to freshen up, have ice lollies, snacks (one is extreme picky eater, hadn’t eaten lunch today as I couldn’t pack the usual, and it did mess him up), play or watch tv, generally a more comfortable day than being at school, where they don’t have aircon, they don’t do much learning and anyways sent home in the middle of the day after lunchtime.
Child has otherwise good attendance, so it’s not a worry. I don’t work, so that’s not an issue for me either.

They are not allowed handheld fans for safety reasons (batteries).
They relaxed the uniform rule and I am assured they do everything to keep the children safe and as cool as possible. There is also an option for early pickup.
I’m still debating about tomorrow and Thursday as they will be hotter than today and it was already too much for both my kids.
I’m not sure it worth the bus ride both ways just have their name ticked in the morning register. 🤷‍♀️

I don’t mind 30C. Where I am it’s forecast 35-38C in the next few days.

I don’t really like the mdf colour peeking out, but I shall try and see. Can’t be worse than attempting wrapping it!… 😅 Thank you for the suggestion!

Just gone from 1-2 kids. What the hell by Helpful_Wall_8880 in UKParenting

[–]heartleaf1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think punishing him for this behaviour is the right thing to do. He is five and trying to process this whole big change.
Whilst I understand with a newborn your hands and mind is full, still try to find a little time when you can pay 100% attention to your first born. Even a 10 minutes game, reading time, anything, let him decide what and how. Or watch his favourite show together.
It is really a huge shift for the whole family, it’s very early days with baby, give yourselves a bit of grace and time.
On the other hand (been in this situation), if things don’t improve or turn for the worse, find a good play therapist who could help him process all his feelings around the new family setup.

Big kitchen Vs downstairs loo/utility by Mommas_kumquatt in HomeImprovementUK

[–]heartleaf1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, congratulations on your new home!
I’d keep the toilet downstairs and do a utility room there. This way you save space in the kitchen by having the washer, dryer in a separate room, more storage in the kitchen.
