My little boy is litteraly hell on earth at the moment. I can’t do anything speak to anyone, eat, sleep, shower, watch tv, look at my phone without him going crazy and smashing the house up. He wants my full complete attention every second of every day. He got mad this morning because I was drinking a coffee after m...

Feel like I’m doing something wrong at this point but it takes me so much planning even to go out a walk with my 4 week old. However I remember when my friends had babies they would be out here there and everywhere with no issues. Been asked to meet up with a friend at a cafe halfway between us which is like a 15 mi...

He’s recently got over hand foot and mouth and had a funny turn earlier in the week. I’m sure he’s got a cold as I have one too. He’s slowly getting his appetite back and has started to drink a more normal amount. Nursery says he’s happy during the day but as soon as I come home he is crying his eyes out and just ...

Baby is officially 3 weeks old and for the last week or so this man has been basically hinting at having sex or me giving him oral and also expecting me to start working like now or to go back to doing Lyft. I just feel like I'm being pushed to heal early for selfish reasons. I get that he needs help financially and...

Story cut short.. we have 4 kids overall, he earns a lot of money working 6 days a week, he doesn’t have to work the 6th day but does for ‘more money’.. the 6th day that he choices to work is the only full day we can have a as a family as I work on the Sunday & two other days but nights. So I do everything all day ...

Been split up with my partner of 15 years for a few months now. Still living together because it’s complicated but I am close to getting out. My problem is I still love him and would try again right now but he won’t 😞 It hurts me that he’s only downstairs and I can’t talk to him or hug him 😭he is cracking on with…

My partners parents live abroad so we don't see them often (maybe twice a year for a week or so) but when we do they stay over here. His parents and I can't speak due to no speaking the same language. I have ADHD and anxiety which makes it hard for me when people stay over, but I do my best to accommodate and they ...

My boyfriend and I grew up differently I grew up with my dad painting houses all the time he always told me that you do the ceiling first then the walls with the walls you trace once your done doing that then you can go up and down. I'm just tired of feeling like I'm stupid like I don’t know anything because I'm fro...

So my little girl has favoured her dad for over a year now, and the last few months, she's become obsessive and I can't do anything. It's always "I want daddy!". This morning he revealed that at bedtime (which she won't let me do), if he can't get her do something like brush her teeth or put her nappy on he tells he...

My baby daddy works from home, yet I feel so alone. I live with my in laws, yet I feel so alone. I’m with my daughter all day long, but I feel so alone. I have a good ass life being taken care of financially, but I feel so alone. I want to feel wanted by my partner and it feels like I’m replaceable even though he’s ...

Not sure if I’m just being emotional or stuff. But my husband, baby, and I are sick and we have the day off. When my husband takes care of the baby he’s on his phone and then makes him do tummy time and doesn’t console him or encourage him even when he screaming from the top of his lungs. And when picks him up I fee...

My baby is almost 13 months old, she will be starting daycare soon , and I am so depressed about it I am crying like crazy, and I think I am being injust towards her and that I should stay with her till she starts speaking and walking at least! Over there they won't feed her organic like we do , they won't wash ...

I’m sick to my stomach. Out of 4 kids (2 his and 2 mine) my teen daughter and only my teen daughter for the second time heard us having sex. Wednesday nights my kids are at their dad’s, and his kids are at their mom’s. Well my daughter ended up getting really sick with Covid overnight so instead of my ex bringing he...

Hiya just came here to have a little rant and ask if I’m being stupid or reasonable. My mum loves her grandson but takes over all the time. She gets very angry when I don’t let her baby sit him but last time she left my 8 month old son with my autistic 14 yo sister alone (after I made it so clear I didn’t want her d...

I don’t know these people but it’s the first time she’s meeting my baby and I don’t want to pass him around like he’s a toy.. how can I avoid the awkward situation cause I unfortunately have a feeling I won’t be able to hold my words in (nicely)

sorry ladies but i need a rant! I’m due in 8 weeks and my hours are now getting cut at work to ease me into going off to have my baby. I have asked baby’s dad if he can help get the last few things baby needs so i can focus on getting my hospital bag ready because it is hard getting everything on my own for his res...

Does anyone else feel like their husband is disengaged from you being pregnant? I’m 33 weeks and I feel like my husband is concerned with providing that he isn’t present with me and it makes me really sad. I’ve voiced how I feel and he gets better for a day or two but goes right back to it.

Now he's arguments I just said that I'm wrong now he's trying to fight over stuff then I still said I'm sorry for what I done and he's still

I'm fucking sick of my partner snoring his head off while I look after our 5 week old baby!!!!! He doesn't fucking help! I went downstairs to refresh the flask of hot water and I could hear little one crying even over the kettle boiling and he still ignored her. Feeding little one right now and he's literally he...

My partner is doing my absolute fucking head in. This is just a big rant because if I don’t say it here, I’ll say it to him and start a huge fight and ruin the weekend. This man started his own business about 18 months ago and it’s gone through all the ups and downs a new business goes through in the first few yea...
