Background on topic, my SIL has been rude, disrespectful and quite mean to me for years. It’s got to the point where we don’t talk anymore. I’m seeing my SIL at a family party soon. She’s previously interacted with my kids at functions and I’ve hated it but not had the guts to say anything. This time I’m planning to...

What kind of food are you guys giving your babies for packed lunches during childcare? Right now we just give a jar of puree. I'd like to pack her more food since she's starting to eat more solids but I'm not sure what.

My husband and I are in a huge disagreement at the moment because he does not think I should spend a whole night away from my 11 month old baby. This is completely hypothetical, as I have hardly any life now, but he thinks I should ‘take it more seriously’ and not have a night away until LO is older. I am obviousl...

Hi! I need some meals for my 9 month old. I’ve introduced her to pancakes, waffles, eggs, yogurt, chicken, rice, bread (toast), bananas (she hates the feeling of them). I just need some ideas so I can make a menu for the week and try to particularly figure out what she likes. Or what she can have. She has 2 teeth on...

We went out to eat and my in laws didn't finish their food. They were adamant for my husband to eat it, but he's no longer interested in helping them finish their food because they're grown adults and need to start eating food they order. MIL said let's pack it and then made a comment that the little one (my eldes...

My in laws are in town and I'm 4 weeks post partum. They've been here for 2 months now & hubby wants to take them out. Is it wrong of me to say "I don't want to go out" It's exhausting with a new born, I'm still postpartum and not fully recovered, I breastfeed and hate being outdoors because of lack of privacy and...

Hey ladies! My son is 2.5 years old and he started off with blisters on his mouth and tongue. And now, his gums have overlapped his teeth, the two teeth beside his 2 top teeth are completely covered. It’s been like this for almost a week. Any advice? Anyone gone through this?

My daughter is 21 months old and she is really picky when it comes to food and she just messes around and not eat any food then it just goes to waste she has been like this for last few days me and my partner have tried everything to get her to eat but nothing works please help

I'm really frustrated with my partner for his lack of efforts with our 4 month old. I'm about to go back to work in a month and I'm already stressing about having to work plus look after her all on my own. He works full time but is always leaving early to do whatever he wants. I've had so. Many. Conversations with h...
