Until you realise you are the safe place receiving:

The whining.
The screaming.
The dramatic sighing.
The “Muuuuum!” every 14 seconds.
The meltdown because their banana was cut the wrong way. 🍌😂
And, of course, the 700th request of the day.

They can be absolute angels for everyone else…

Teacher: “He was so lovely today!” 😊
Grandma: “She didn’t make a peep!” 😇
Mum: “Interesting… because I’ve been negotiating with a tiny dictator since 4pm.” 😂

So yes, being their safe place can mean they let all those big emotions out with you.

But here’s your reminder:

You can love them deeply and still find their behaviour incredibly annoying sometimes.

You can support their feelings without saying yes to everything.

You can hold the boundary without losing your entire mind. 😂

And if you need to hide in the bathroom for 3 minutes with a cup of coffee…

I didn’t see anything. ☕️

You’re doing better than you think, Mum ❤️

Mum advice you didn’t ask for… 😂

If you give your child a phone at 7:30pm, don’t be surprised when they’re still wide awake at 9:47pm. 👀

Screens can be a lifesaver sometimes. We’ve all needed five minutes to cook dinner or drink a hot cup of coffee!

But when screens become part of the bedtime routine, they can make it harder for little ones to settle down and get the quality sleep their growing bodies and brains need.

For young children, too much screen time can also mean less time talking, playing, imagining and connecting with the people around them. Those everyday conversations, stories, songs and games are some of the best ways to help children develop their speech, language and social skills.

So tonight, try swapping the screen for:
📚 A bedtime story
🧩 A puzzle
🎵 A few nursery rhymes
🤗 Extra cuddles and a chat about their day

Your child won’t remember every cartoon they watched, but they’ll remember the moments they spent with you. ❤️

Mums, what’s your bedtime routine? Do you have a no-screens rule before bed? 👇

Mum advice you didn’t ask for… 😂

Your child does NOT need one more glass of water.

They don’t need another snack.

They definitely don’t need to tell you something that suddenly became extremely important at 8:47pm.

They need to GO TO BED. 😂

The bedtime routine somehow goes:

🛁 Bath
🪥 Teeth
👕 Pyjamas
📖 Story
💧 Water
🚽 Toilet
💧 “I’m thirsty again”
🧸 “I need my teddy”
😩 “Muuuuum…”

And somehow it’s now 9:36pm and you’re questioning every parenting decision you’ve ever made. 😂

Mums, what is your child’s favourite bedtime excuse? 👇

MUM ADVICE YOU DIDN’T ASK FOR 😂

🚨 NO SWEETS BEFORE 9AM! 🚨

And honestly… let’s talk about the why.

Too many sweets can mean a whole lot of sugar, less room for proper nutritious food, and that lovely combination of hyper → grumpy → emotional → “I’M NOT TIRED!” → completely exhausted. 😂

So yes, I’m the boring mum saying:

🍳 Breakfast first
💧 Water first
🍎 Proper food first
🍭 Sweets later and in moderation

Because a child eating sweets at 7:30am and then bouncing off the walls before school is not exactly the peaceful morning we had pictured. 😂

And before anyone says it… yes, children can absolutely enjoy sweets. We’re not banning fun. We’re just not making Haribo the main food group. 😂

Mum rule of the day:
Treats are treats, not breakfast. ❤️

What’s one food rule you refuse to bend on? 👇

Today there was protesting in South Africa. Everyone was unsure if it would be safe to travel, businesses were closed, the school was quieter and we had less teachers. So we danced because we know everything is gonna be OK 🎶 👌 🙌🏻☺️🙏🏻❤️ hiforrest

Today was quieter than usual at Tilly’s, so this afternoon we played a few games to see which teachers good finish early ☺️😂❤️
