This is just what I need. Another mum talking about their life. Its so relatable when you don't have any friends to rant to. Its nice just to listen and feel seen❤
@@Minniebol 🥹🥹 I totally get this!! Until very recently, I never really had any mum friends to rant to either (which is why making videos felt so nice to do!!) - you guys are my online besties 🤍
Now George is getting older and he’s got nursery friends and friends from clubs, I’ve made some genuinely lovely mum friends and I’m so grateful cause is so bloody lonely otherwise!!
Sending you love, you’ve got this ♥️
Thank you for being so honest with us ♥️ I decided to reduce my working hours from 9-3pm because I am just exhausted having hyperactive 4 year old and trying to do all the work at home. That’s great you have the option to choose a different role career that works for you and your family needs ♥️We decided not to have another one and it’s so frustrating when people around don’t understand that. Motherhood is so exhausting and I can’t handle it mentally again with another baby. I also was not able to breastfeed and I don’t know why just did not have enough milk. But I thought at that time that the most important is him just being fed well. We got this ladies ♥️
@@Bouvardia-Blossom love this for you - everyone’s situation is so different and we just have to do what works for YOU and YOUR family!! Like you say, we’ve got this 🤍🤍
I love how real you are, who hasent had a breakdown in their kitchen, and then pick themselves back up and get on with it.
@@melann6791 literally!!♥️✨
I wish we were friends in real life because I can relate to you on pretty much everything (apart from the fact that I only have 1 child) but I actually got emotional listening to your Q&A
@@Aurelx21 🥹🥹🥹 I wish I could besties with so many of you cause I feel like we’re all just on the same level ♥️
Honestly my fave youtuber! So real and relatable its refreshing, cant be arsed with all the fakeness of people who are all about the aesthetic so boring and irritating 😂
I needed this 🙌 my little boy is 3 and some days it's such a struggle. But seeing another 'realistic' mum talk about these topics makes me feel less alone.
Ahaha the face you pulled when u wer talking about the Biscoff latte 😂❤ too relatable x
Your so relatable . Love your videos . I completely agree with the breastfeeding chat . My first was 2 yr 2 months when my second was born. Formula fed my first but wanted to have a go with breastfeeding with my second . I stopped after a few weeks , the judgement is real 😮it wasn’t working for us and never looked back . Fed is best 🎉
@@HannahWilson-t4z ♥️♥️♥️ so glad you did what was right for YOU and YOUR family, well done ✨✨✨
I found your channel through one of your budget videos but I love your channel all the time, your so honest and real with everything in your life xxx
Morning Shan! I’m excited to watch this.. we’ve have had a few 5am wake ups and my lord, 5am is not the one!
Ahh I feel you on the 5am wake ups!! I hope you’re all okay, sending you caffeine 😅♥️
Playing I-Spy always helps when walking with kids. Can be colour based or letter based eg I-Spy something that is red etc etc. Works every time for me!
Loved this honest q&a ❤ it’s crazy how different your experience of newborn life can we depend on what bubba is like. I relate to how you felt with Halle with how I felt when I had my first, it was SO hard! But then I had my second and she was an ‘easy’ baby which made the whole experience a dream, breastfeeding was amazing, she slept, she was super chill. Everyone is so different, but we’re all in this crazy motherhood journey together x
Same! I found 0 to 1 so so hard! 1 to 2 was easy for me. I was so much more confident second time around. And my husband took 4 weeks off from work after birth (actually he did this with both kids). Tried breastfeeding the first time around and it didn’t worked so I bottle fed my son from 6 weeks on. My daughter was so much easier and I’m still breastfeeding her (she is 10 month now).
I’m 5 mins in and I feel like I’m overstimulated and it represents my life already 🤣 I have a daughter with autism and a child with pda and adhd it’s crazy 24/7 one running about one never stops talking my other child just stands there like wtf 🤣
I really relate to you in a lot of ways, I have a 5 year old and 3 year old. My youngest doesn’t sleep well at all and now they’ve both got a sickness bug and my partner is on nights 🙃. The constant talking from them and not listening is so wearing isn’t it. Love your channel ❤😊
@zoekirk7360 I feeeeel this in my soul😅♥️
@@HomeWithShando you find the collagen helps at all? The shark flex looks amazing! My mum said she’s get my the Dyson one for my 30th this year but I think I’ll have a look at the shark first 😮😁x
@ definitely!! It’s made my nails and cuticles so much stronger (mine are usually so brittle haha!) ♥️
@ I’ve never tried the Dyson myself but can deffo recommend the Shark!!
@@HomeWithShanfantastic thank you and I think I’ll be treating myself to some collagen 😅😌 lovely vlog x
Breastfeeding comes with so much pressure! My daughter refused to drink from the boob (combination of her being a bit early, jaundice, tongue tie and neck stiffness) but was fine with a bottle, but I was so indoctrinated about breast is best that I exclusively pumped around the clock the first 6 months of her life - every 3 hours, day and night. It was insanity, and looking back I don't know why I made such a martyr of myself as it absolutely was not worth it. It was so much easier once we switched to formula. I wish there wasn't so much pressure on women to make breastfeeding work, and I hate the rhetoric that if you that you didn't try hard enough or did not see enough consultants as there's so may aspects you can't influence! So thank you for being honest about regretting it, I feel the same.
I beat myself up about breast feeding so much. Our baby lost slightly more weight than the NHS allow and although he was gaining it back, the way some midwives spoke to me telling me he wasn't gaining quickly enough and having to give him formula top ups made me feel like a total failure. He would fall asleep when breast feeding so I had to try and keep him awake and he just didn't seem to be getting enough, then would wake up so much in the night that I wasn't getting any rest. I tried pumping but ended up putting him on formula after a couple of months and it was the best decision for both of us, but at the time I felt like a terrible mum. If I had another baby I may try again but I definitely wouldn't put so much pressure on myself knowing that our boy did absolutely fine on formula. A fed baby and a happy mum is always best of you ask me whatever anyone decides.
Don't get me wrong children are a blessing but I think one will be enough for me as don't think I could handle stress of looking after more than one especially while juggling work..
Your an amazing mum to your kids you should be proud of what you have achieved. I agree with breastfeeding oldest was always full on the bottle and youngest was constantly feeding and hungry breastfeeding. X
Hello Lovely! Marine collagen is the fishy one and then you can also get bovine collagen.
Where are your wardrobes from in your bedroom? They are so nice 😍 x
Great video Shan 😊 the breastfeeding talk interested me. I tried with my first and had a similar experience to you with Halle. I hated it and she was never full up or happy. I had PND too and I think trying so hard to bf was a big factor in that. On formula she was a different kid and I was a different mum. For #2 I’m going straight to formula, it’s not worth the mental impact or having an unhappy baby xxxx
I live for these videos ❤thank youuuu
What do you use that makes your face so shiny? ❤
I can relate so much, as usual ♡ I'm almost always on my own with my toddler and my baby and I feel you 🥲
Did my 1st youtube video as a try but you'll definitely be my inspiration in the future, to keep it real
Magnesium is best absorbed through the skin it doesn't absorbed well through the gut so the mummy's aren't very good. Magnesium oil is great rub on the legs an hour or so before bedtime (or after bath) after 1.5ish weeks you'll notice a big difference
it's so important o be honest about breastfeeding, and how it made you feel. I exclusively breastfed my daughter (only child) for 13mo. Why? Because it was easy for me. It worked. I didn't have a toddler I needed to also support. I had enough milk and she has happy and healthy and enjoying it too. I didn't breastfeed her because I think it's better than bottle. I did it because it worked for ME, for her and I too. It's so important mum's feel empowered to make the best choice for themselves. A healthy, happy parent is so much more important than people give credit for. I do not at all support the notion that you should allow yourself to suffer and breastfeed if it isn't working for you and your baby xx
Is it possible that both kids were very different at this age because you are in a completely different phase of life than you were back then with George. I.e working from home and more financially at peace. Kids can feel things.
Hi, can you please share what helps with sleeping for toddlers, you shared something like a supplement or something in a video a while back but I can't seem to find it Xxx
Hey lovely, what hairdryer brush were you using? Do you recommend ? Need a new one🙃
Where is the spf tinned moisturiser cream you have please? X
Can you please talk about your experience working in the civil service .. not enough mom RUclipsrs that have that experience and you are so right about breastfeeding! So many older matriarchs of my family didn’t understand why I chose not to and it felt like they were constantly looking down on you. Too much pressure from family members makes some people feel they have no choice but to breastfeed
Breast feeding ... Shan your children were fed, how you fed them doesn't matter, they were fed, that's what matters.
❤
Your breastfeeding experience totally depends on the baby... I loved breastfeeding my first born and am absolutely hating breastfeeding my second. I don’t know why we put so much pressure on ourselves!
I’ve moved to mostly pumping now and will slowly transition to formula. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze this time around with latch/weight issues and a toddler to look after.
If collagen isn’t vegan it usually comes from fish so that’s likely where that has come from 😂🐠
I feel the same about #3. I like the idea of 3 in ten years time (or maybe skip teen years....20 years time 😅) but I think we have it good with two healthy children and I'm just starting to get back on my feet and looking for jobs, hopefully getting financial stability (so I can save their child benefit, I love that idea) and I'm 37, not in my best physical shape and know a pregnancy and another c section would *do* me in! 🫠
Instead I make the most of the phantom kicks and know that it's probably just evolution making me feel like I want another...when I really really don't!!!
