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...

Anybody else having daddy issues?

I stopped working temporarily to be a stay at home mom and even though my husband says he prefers me staying with her, he doesn't help out that much around the house or with the baby. The last straw was when he started complaining about the cost of food!!! That I should not finish cereal or oatmeal too quickly. wtf...

Hubby & her are currently in a text war about it lool. Mil constan...

Partners - he just doesn’t seem to get it!

Before I rant about my partner he is very good at doing the practical things such as making me a drink when he does get home from work- his work means he does work long hours. I do tend to get a lot of the household chores before he gets home Anyway he just doesn’t seem to get how to comfort our daughter and inste...

I don’t know where to put this but here we go.

Loneliness

I know this is somewhat airing out my drama but sometimes I just need someone to vent to. For the majority of the time, I feel okay, but other days can be very sad and lonely. My baby’s father decided to block me when I was about 3 months pregnant because he decided he didn’t want to be a dad anymore. I’m currently ...

My husband watches porn sparingly and I’ve always expressed to him even while we were dating that I don’t like him watching it I feel like it’s a form of cheating

For the past 7 years I’ve been finding it on his browsing history and saved to his hidden photos. Recently he told me the website he was watching porn on automatically saves videos and put it’s in the hidden folder but that sounds very sketchy to me Has anyone heard of this ?

Marriage over?

He goes to the gym or does sports 4/5 days a week, doesn't help at all with night feeds and guilt trips me into doing thing...

Tips on living day to day

Hey all - my husband and I are going through a rough patch. Started during pregnancy when he shared he didn’t feel he was in love with me anymore and hasn’t been for a few years. At first I suspected there was someone else but I’m quite content there isn’t. I think it’s more related to a general depression he’s go...

Why is it so difficult to make mum friends?!

I have been meeting other mums to find suitable playdates for my son and I feel defeated. Mum 1. Has 2 girls that are misbehaved and bullies, although they are nice to my son because I am mummy's friend.
