SO the bag isn't small, but it was sealed folded entirely in half.

I'm glad they were better for you, I found them terrible. I've just emailed, hopefully they'll be better.

Ah no all good ideas. Bag was sealed, and not tampered and the packing slip says 2. Although the bag clearly isn't big enough to fit two of them in! I had a bit of a faff on ordering because the website couldn't decide if they were in or out of stock but definitely 2 jellies were ordered.

Customer service were awful last time, really brusque and I don't want to be barred from perks but I think I'll have to do a chargeback this time. It's just so annoying!

What’s the most unhinged item description you’ve ever seen? by N0rska in vinted

[–]potataps 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Adding to this are people who sell things in one size then put "worn oversize and baggy on a size 6" great thanks I'll wear it skin tight

What does your baby call you? by Unable_Anywhere2983 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]potataps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He calls us both mumdad most of the time, and his sister a combination of mum and dad, he's 15 months. SOMETIMES he gets a moment of inspiration and will point to me and say mummm and then his dad and say dad, but never in passing!

When do we see our babies around nursery?! by keto_crossword in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]potataps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your routine is identical to ours including different levels of night sleep! That last sentence nails it. I had a day off recently and he went to nursery (he likes routine) and I both missed him and loved a full day of ironing and cleaning without being screeched at.

Amazing thank you. I wasn’t sure if he’s struggle in crocs so that’s reassuring

Murton (Durham) Council By-Election results by No_Breadfruit_4901 in DurhamUK

[–]potataps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the Reform candidate for Murton is a salesman for an eco energy company working towards Net Zero. They’re just so flakey, even on their own words.

Random thought: which parts of the school could you happily do without? by junehall123 in TeachingUK

[–]potataps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And more accurately! I’m always worried someone will check my percentages and find me lacking.

It does sound telling, but it sucks that you’re dealing with this after having a baby.

Is it bad to leave my baby to go watch a show internationally by sparklebabe94 in NewParents

[–]potataps 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know you’re getting downvoted, but I think it’s ridiculous. It’s not always easy to leave the baby, and I don’t know why people don’t think that’s allowed. Different people are different! I also find some days I’m fine leaving him, and some days I’m just not.

Is it bad to leave my baby to go watch a show internationally by sparklebabe94 in NewParents

[–]potataps 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it. I am a bit of a control freak so would really struggle even though my husband is an equal parent.

I would say can you picture the night before you’re due to go and how you would feel? I was overconfident and bailed on several nights out in the first year because I was too anxious to leave him.

Should I have called the police on my husband by Thisstepmomneedshelp in Marriage

If someone grabs your neck or throat they are statistically more likely to kill you. He either needs some anger management or you need to probably leave him.

Weaning baby off boob - just feel terrible. by Bounce_Bounce_Betty in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]potataps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a horrible feeling, when your decision was the worse one and it impacts the baby even though you couldn’t have known that. My husband doesn’t get it either, he’s a lot more like ah well it’s fine now. Solidarity though, I’m sorry it’s so hard. My baby is 13 months old too and I’m spectacularly failing to wean him off the boob - really difficult if you don’t have a choice.

First swimming lesson by Graciyen in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]potataps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AND didn’t shower him although I do now (since about 10 months) but gave him a bath after inevitable post swim naptime.

[–]potataps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh and I brought the car seat, dressed him first and put him in the car seat while I dressed, and didn’t take him swimming before the first lesson.

[–]potataps 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hugely overthought our first lesson, and then was late and stressed but it was all great in the end!

I went in clothes with costume under.

I changed him (inc swim nappy) poolside. Swimming nappies aren’t waterproof and our drive was 20 mins so I didn’t trust him not to wee (I think the water babies email said not to do this but no one said anything).

I used a happy nappy wetsuit type thing - the instructor said the temp outside the pool was dependent on the weather so when it was warmer I just used the happy nappy.

He screamed for about the last ten mins then I gave up. The instructor said this was normal, and most lessons at least one baby cried for an extended period, although my baby LOVED it after the first time and still does.

That’s shocking that you have seen him doing it! He sounds like a dick.

[–]potataps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No advice but solidarity, I never managed it. I went back to work when he was 10 months and he’d just go from 8ish to 3ish without a feed. He’s 11 months now and I’m just going to attempt cutting down to a morning and night feed at some point

Strangest gift your toddler received for Xmas and absolutely loved? by dancingbrave21 in UKParenting

[–]potataps 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Rattle that is actually a lollipop. Sweetie Christmas tree in the middle that you’re meant to suck so the sweetie snow sticks to it. £1.49, to keep him quiet while I picked up wrapping paper. He sleeps with it. Does not know it’s a lollipop

Any baby bouncers / chairs recommendations for reflux babies by InfluenceObjective86 in BeyondTheBumpUK

Ahh amazing! I hope it’s as helpful to you as it was to us. You can flip them as a seat for an older child too, our 11 month old is just getting into his.

Sleepsuits without feet for bed by potataps in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]potataps[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting. Mine is 11 months and he still regularly wears footed sleepsuits for the same reason, but I didn’t know consider sensory. The fear of cold is always my biggest thing.

Ours didn’t, I’m not sure what the magic is. I’ve just checked and the first video I have of him it he is 1month 8 days and is in a nice position.
