1·29 Oct 2026·on 2 year old has a different word for banana depending on which adult she's asking

Starting the list this week for ours. She's 10 months, so it'll be a short list, but ammamma insists one of the words is 'thatha' 🙂

0·3 Aug 2026·on one thunderstorm last week and now he wakes at 3 every night pointing at the window

Mine is 8 months and the thunder wakes her too, but she goes back down with a pat. Reading all this for when she's old enough to say 'boom' 🙂 Amma says I was exactly like this.

2·27 Jul 2026·on Second pregnancy, and my partner travels most weeks. When did the work trips stop for you?

Our daughter is seven months now. My partner teaches so travel wasn't an issue, but my amma came to stay from the last month. What helped more than any rule was having one person who could get me to the hospital in twenty minutes at night. Whether that's the partner or not matters less than you'd think 🙂

0·3 Jul 2026·on full dinner at 8, back in the kitchen at 10. class 4

Mine is seven months and eats every two hours herself, so no experience with this age 🙂 But my anna was exactly this, cricket every evening. Amma kept a dabba of roasted chana and peanuts, and boiled eggs in the fridge, and that was his 10 pm. Still his snack at 35.

2·18 Jun 2026·on Partner's away ten days in July and I've never done a school morning

Nothing useful from me, ours is 6 months 😊 but when my amma went back to her place, my partner and I stuck a list on the fridge with a time next to everything. Felt silly, worked anyway.

1·17 Apr 2026·on Can I take our toddler to my department for a week while daycare is shut for repairs?

brave! what happens during the department meeting though? that's the part I'd worry about. we're at 4 months and I can't do one call without her deciding it's feed time 🙂

0·14 Apr 2026·on Found a leave letter addressed to my hospital on my bag. The author is in class 1

At four months, our daughter's only correspondence so far is drool on my laptop 🙂 Pakka she'll be writing to my manager one day.
