0·21 Oct 2026·on Renting a cot and high chair for 10 days in Kondapur over Diwali?

We're in Financial District, not far from Kondapur. We have a travel cot sitting unused because he still sleeps in the bassinet 🙂 Not sure about lending to someone online though. Maybe get your family to check their building first.

1·7 Oct 2026·on Is 13 old enough to be in charge of his 10 year old sister for three hours?

Festival season at the store, I feel this one. Mine is only 4 months so no real advice, but I'm already doing this maths in my head for later 🙂

0·29 Sept 2026·on He naps on the 15 minute drive home from daycare and then he's awake till 11

Mine is 3 months and the car is the one place he sleeps without a fight, so I was planning to depend on it for a long time 😊 Didn't know it turns into this later. Noting all of it.

1·24 Sept 2026·on Almost one and refuses the spoon from anyone. Do we just let him get on with it?

Reading this with a 3 month old and a small feeling of dread 🙂 Does he still take his milk well? I'd assumed that covers a lot at this age, but I really don't know.

3·18 Aug 2026·on Partner saved two weeks of leave. Use them now, or when I go back to the store?

Not fixed, which is half the problem. Probably early October once the festive stock comes in. If I can pin it to a date we can plan around, that settles it I think.

4·6 Aug 2026·on HR wants a business case before I can finish early two days a week

No HR in a family business, so not the same situation, but my partner went through this last year. The manager only agreed once my partner proposed a three month trial with a review date. It gave everyone an easy way out, so they said yes 🙂

2·22 Jul 2026·on He crawls up our stairs in seconds now. Gate at the bottom, or teach him to come down feet first?

Not there with ours yet, he's a month old, but my in-laws' house has exactly this staircase so I'm reading every reply. Did you find a gate that fits stairs with a railing on only one side?
