Hi,
Anyone want to join me navigating this age of parenting? Children could be outside this age bracket.

There's lots of baby toddler advice groups and some teen groups but this age I feel a bit in the dark.

I have a soon to be 7 year old girl. She's amazing, loves school, but I often feel like I'm doing or saying the wrong thing to and with her. She's going through a stroppy stage, finds school tiring.

Me and her dad work a lot and we haven't signed her up to many extra curriculum clubs, some of her peers have done loads since reception.

We're planning her birthday party and she has lots of opinions about it, I'm feeling the pressure!

DH and I both started vomiting last night. Weve managed to make it to my parents but DH has another bout after 12 hours when he decided to have dilute apple juice. 3 year old seems have bounced back, which is tough because I'm still feeling crap but he's back to watching telly. Helsinki sounds fun. We're hopefully going to a theme park on Monday too.

Oh no! Hope you're all feeling better soon.
