1·8 Oct 2026·on Work messages keep breaking our no-phones-while-she-eats rule

Dinner only is realistic. Lunch on home days is where both of us slip, so letting that go for now is a relief to hear. The fridge top I'll try. My guess is half the glances just won't happen if the phone isn't within reach.

0·30 Aug 2026·on Brother-in-law keeps recommending St Josephs High School in Patancheru. We live in Motinagar

Up with her at this hour, so a good time to think about vans. That is a cleaner way to put it than I had. I will ask about routes if we visit. I suspect the honest answer will settle it, and then I can tell my brother-in-law it was the van, not the school.

4·23 Aug 2026·on Our toddler has posted two spoons and the TV remote through the balcony grill

Cable ties is exactly what I needed to hear. Did the acrylic hold up through the rains, or go cloudy after a while?

0·16 Jul 2026·on He shuffles around on his bottom and has no interest in crawling

Our daughter was a bottom shuffler too, with one leg tucked under, and very quick on tiled floors. She never crawled on hands and knees at all. She pulled up on furniture a little later than the crawlers in her group and then walked within a few weeks of that. Is he pulling up on anything yet, or still happy sitting?

0·21 Jun 2026·on She wakes from every afternoon nap crying, and it takes twenty minutes to settle her

That fits what my mother keeps saying, so she'll be pleased. We'll try waking her a little earlier this week and keep the quiet room. Thank you, everyone.

1·19 Jun 2026·on She wakes from every afternoon nap crying, and it takes twenty minutes to settle her

Did exactly that after today's nap. Curtains drawn, sat on the floor, said nothing. She cried for a while, then climbed into my lap on her own. Maybe twelve minutes instead of twenty. One day isn't much, but it felt different.

0·6 May 2026·on Should my mother cover three mornings a week while my partner does a course, or do we hire help?

That is exactly what I'm worried about. I'll talk to her on her own this weekend, before my partner and I decide anything.
