My baby is 15 months old and lately I’ve been feeling really exhausted and overwhelmed. He used to play by himself sometimes, and during that time I could do small personal things around the house. But now he wants me beside him almost all the time and always wants me to play with him continuously.

His dad works from 7 to 7, 5 days a week, so most of the childcare is on me during those days. I love my son so much, but I get tired very quickly when it comes to constant playing and engagement. Sometimes after even 30 minutes of nonstop playing I feel mentally drained.

I also keep wondering if he’s getting bored at home or if I’m not doing enough for him. Some days I feel guilty and think maybe I’m a bad mom because I don’t naturally enjoy playing for long periods and I run out of ideas to keep him engaged.

Did anyone else go through this around 15 months? Is this clingy phase normal? How do you keep your toddler occupied without completely burning yourself out?

I am looking for some advice regarding my 15-month-old baby.

This morning I noticed small, tiny pimple-like spots/rash all over his body. He had his MMR vaccination recently, and I am wondering if this could be a reaction to that. He also ate peanuts two days ago, so I am unsure if this could be related to a food allergy instead. He had fever for last two days

He otherwise seems fine, and I am not sure how concerned I should be.

Could this type of rash be a reaction to the MMR vaccine, a peanut allergy, or something else entirely? At what point should I seek urgent medical attention?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently on a Graduate Visa in the UK and planning to switch to a Skilled Worker Visa as a healthcare assistant. I’ve been hearing a lot of conflicting information and I’m feeling quite confused and stressed about the whole situation.

From what I understand, dependants are no longer allowed for healthcare assistant roles under the Skilled Worker route, whether they are already in the UK or applying from outside (like India). However, I’ve also been told by some people that if you have a child in the UK, there may be a possibility to apply under human rights grounds and still keep your spouse and child as dependants.

My advocate is handling my case and documentation, and I’ve been advised that this could be a “last chance” option for us to stay in the UK. But I’m really unsure how genuine or successful this route is.

Has anyone here:
- Applied for a Skilled Worker Visa as a healthcare assistant recently?
- Tried applying with dependants under human rights grounds?
- Successfully received approval for dependants in a similar situation?

I would really appreciate hearing real experiences—whether successful or not—so I can understand if this is a realistic path or something risky.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.
