Our son has his 4th birthday party this weekend, his first party with friends.

He had a tiff with a friend "Josh" at kinder yesterday.

My son was absolutely INCONSOLABLE ALL DAY. Literally for hours and hours.

I got a call from kinder to pick him up because he was so upset. He cried and cried at home and only calmed down when my mum came over and started talking about how he has so many best friends and people who love him.

My son said this morning that Josh wouldn't let him play with him, said he's a bad boy, and he's not coming to his party or singing happy birthday.

Do I uninvite this kid now?? His parents had another baby a year and a bit ago and since then, we've noticed that Josh has been more withdrawn, that's when he started calling the other children "bad" and his happy go lucky attitude became much more sullen. I really feel bad for the kid but at the same time, don't want him around my little guy, if he's just going to upset him.

What should I do please?

EDIT TO ADD::: Thank you, truly for all your advice. I really appreciate it. All I could think about was my poor little guy sobbing, but kinder just posted photos and he's happily sitting with Josh now 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ I will mention it to the parent like that poster suggested (didn't get your user name sorry) but they smartly said to bring it up as a "isn't it great they're past their little tiff?" Not in an accusing way. Thanks again, you're all legends =)

This has been happening for a couple of weeks and is driving me crazy! I've already subbed to these pages, then they randomly show up but I have to hit "join" again.

Does anyone know why this is happening please?

Is there a limit to how many pages you can sub to?

Thank you =)

Literally going through this right now.

We were in bed, our 3 year old was kicking me, hitting his dad in the head and generally being a menace.

I would usually go to my little one's bed or the couch, like Mike and Frankie do, but he's clinging to me like a koala.

So now I guess I'm up for the day, it's still dark outside. I wouldn't mind "taking back the house" but 3 may be a tad young for that..

Having the mother of flair ups. I'm in pain literally all the time but this past week, I just can't cope.

I keep telling myself "so far I've made it through 100% of the hard days, all those times I thought I'd die" I can usually pick myself up after a few days but sometimes (like now) I just feel like I'm drowning in pain and it's too hard to cope.

I just want it all to be over, but I have a child so have no choice but to suffer.

People say to me "well you never know what's coming out in the next 5 - 10 years. I'm like yeah but how am I supposed to cope all day everyday until then??

I'm over it all. I hate the pain, I hate the irritable person it's turned me into. I hate it all.

People around me try to get it but unless you've been through it you just have no idea.

God I wish I could get my hands on some Laudanum, it had morphine, opium and ethanol.

I have FINALLY gone back to a gym after having a baby. They offer a lot of classes which I need, otherwise I procrastinate all day and then "run out of time"

I thought I'd try all the classes and see what sticks. Tai chi, yoga, pilates etc I know weights are the best to stop the onset of osteoporosis.

Everyone seems to be way young or old - I had a personal training session and he AND his learner, both didn't have a clue who Hanson was (I said I had gotten a bad hair cut in the 90s and looked like one of the Hanson brrothers) I thought children were the *future* not the present!!

Just curious what you guys are doing to stay fit, looking for ideas to keep me going please
