My baby daddy has a child from a previous relationship and I allow him to bring her to my house on his days with my kids because my kids aren’t allowed in his brother house where he’s living (his brother actually banned his niece and nephew from his house). So my ex’s daughter doesn’t know I have a baby monitor in m...

I finally have my rainbow baby and I'm so so grateful, but I'm in my late 30's and although I shouldn't care about my appearance..I kind of do. 🫠 He's four months old and is a very short napper no matter what I do.

My LO is 14 months old but still breastfeeds and has always been a bad sleeper. We co-sleep and he still wakes multiple times at night, often with boob being the only thing that will get him back to sleep. I am lucky enough to be a SAHM at the moment, and rarely leave LO. Other than obviously with my partner, he’s o...

I found out like yesterday that my husband likes his time away from me. I’m a loud Eastern European woman lol and he said I can be a little overbearing, but I just love him so much and I feel like it’s becoming one-sided. I know he loves me but hearing that really hurt me. I see the way my brother is with his girlfr...

Is it normal for my husband to make me feel bad for buying our child McDonald’s? My son is 2 1/2 and had McDonald’s for the first time yesterday. I didn’t get him any meat, it was literally just a cheeseburger without meat and some fries. And my husband has brought it up multiple times about how he feels like I just...

How do y’all cope with staying at home all the time. We only have one car and my fiancé works 12 hours a day so I can never leave the house. How do people do this I’ve been having such a hard time.

Just wondering how often my peers be getting down, specifically in households like mine. I want to have sex more! But with each kid and dog came less time for US and more work for my husband. I feel disconnected from him and think if we took time at least every few days to “get closer” we would be happier and more t...

I had to send my son to daycare due to both my husband and I needing to work. Prior to daycare (maybe like two weeks before),my son started rolling, got both sides down. Hes been in daycare for three weeks now, and hasn’t rolled since. I’ve asked the daycare if he’s rolled and they said no. I’m really concerned. Is...

In particular to explain to people that believe SAHMs should take care of the kids and the house 24/7 while the working partner literally just goes to work and relaxes when they are off, and only interacts with the kids if and when they want to.

Currently 18 weeks, due in March 2025. My partner and I have discussed looking into starting changing the spare room into a nursery end of Jan/ feb. Today he’s decided he doesn’t want to and wants to keep the spare room for as long as possible in case ‘one of our mums wants to stay over in the early days of baby’. ...

I’m struggling with complete exhaustion, my LO is nearly 5 months and I feel like such a crap mum. I love him so so much but I’m drained mentally and physically.
