What are you planning on getting your boys for Christmas?

Hi, just wondered how everyone is finding maternity leave? I feel like I should be loving every second of it and doing loads of fun things. However I actually seem to find it quite lonely and very repetitive. The best way I can describe it is you spend all day being so busy but not actually really doing…

So my husband all he ever does is come home and be on his damn phone. I’m to a point where I’m about to see if someone can do the loyalty test with him. :/

Hey mamas, who’s interested in a single mum GC to encourage each other? Or is anyone apart of one? Thoughts…💭

My partner is a tree surgeon and bought home several bits of wood cut into coaster shapes and sizes. He's saying about potentially varnishing them but we don't know what varnish or whether to do it before or after decorating, can anyone help?

Feeling lost and lonely in the midst of being a mom of four. Feel like everytime I take 2 steps forward I get shoved 3 steps back 🙄. Wish I had a hug rn 🥹

Hi, first time mum (28) and recently moved to Papworth (South Cambridgeshire). I have a 15 week old boy and I’d like him to have a life long friend/s. There’s a mums walking group in my village and a sing along session in the library for LO’s but I haven’t managed to attend yet as I have really bad anxiety. I don’t ...

NOBODY TALKS ABOUT.... the feeling of not having a group of girl friends to experience life with the way I see everyone else doing & I never have... genuinely don't believe I ever will & I feel like it's a fundamental part of girlhood that i'll be missing forever 💔

Hi all, Was just wondering if it’s possible to take 11 months maternity leave if working for the NHS? I only ever hear of people taking 9 or 12 months so didn’t know if this was a rule or was something to do with payroll? Thank you! 💙

For those that haven’t returned back to the same place of work after maternity leave, did you still get the holiday pay your owed? For reference I wasn’t allowed to take holiday all throughout my pregnancy, so we’re talking about 18 months worth of holiday I’ve accrued since finding out I’m pregnant and maternity ...

Since being pregnant with second child I don’t feel close to my partner? I just feel drained all the time, we had sex the whole 8 months. He is very understanding though I just feel like a bitch, when he comes home I just can’t be asked to talk or have a full blown conversation, I look miserable all the time n get...

Any time I have friends they turn on me for absolutely no reason my best friend who was also my cousin decided to listen to lies about me instead of accepting my truthful answers so I'm looking for someone to vent to and hopefully lived closer to me

Since having my daughter last January, we have been living on one income. With that being said our budget is tight for Christmas this year. How do we feel about gifting used toys and books? Obviously I’d make sure they were in very good if not perfect condition and I’d pair them with a new outfit.

Making New Friends seems really hard.. Location: Sheffield.

I have recently started work in a new place and work wise have had no bad feedback at all. Whoever one of my coworkers has been telling lies about me (wanting my managers position) not true whatsoever. I have asked confrontation with her but the manager dose not think that is a good idea, instead we should just pre...
