Thank you. And you're right it does tempt me to buy more stuff there bc they have toys out and stuff. I try to leave my wallet at home bc it's too tempting. I put him in it so he can have social interaction with people his age. His father and Are considered "shy" and I don't want my son being that way too. I know he is his own person and idk for sure if he will be but if it helps I will be happy. But they incorporate a lot of music and music actually helps people's brains.
I think that the main aim of places like this, is to make money out of people who are already at a disadvantage, without a satisfactory home/family situation.

Lexi, at 9 months he doesn't need "social interaction with people his age". There's plenty of time for that later. What he needs is his own family, that is you, his father (united in marriage if at all possible), his grandparents. The ideal socialisers for a little fellow are his own brothers and sisters, although that is not possible now because you and his father are unmarried.
.
Remember some people are naturally shy and some are outgoing, and you cannot change a person's nature. You just give each individual the securest situation possible and accept them for what they are with their own God-given nature. Nothing wrong with being shy. Nothing wrong with being outgoing.

Children love music and you can play music for him. Sing him little songs, nursery rhymes etc. as you dance him on your knee. :jumping2:

And His dad and I have tile floors in our house so I like that he can go somewhere where I can give him a little more "freedom" without worrying he gonna fall on tile. But if it wasn't for those two things then I wouldn't personally think it would be worth it.
Thank you for praying and I will pray for you as well :-)) :)

You should never put him where he can fall onto tile or another other type of flooring for that matter. It is good for him to be on the ground (as long as it is not too cold there) and if it is cold you should get a rug for him to move around on. Childcare is very demanding and you have to keep your eye on him almost all the time, except when he is sleeping.

I thought that you said that his father and you were separated and that you were living at home with your parents. So are you still living together? If so, for your long-term good, the good of your son and of his father (I mean the eternal happiness -salvation- of all three of you) this is not good.

You should go to a priest and confess, then ask his advice about your current situation. Meanwhile, keep up praying the Rosary. From the Rosary you will gain the wisdom and courage to do God's Will. I do appreciate your prayers for me. I need as much prayer as I can get! Thank you.
