Anyone else finding mum life overbearing. I’m so low in myself don’t want to talk to anyone, don’t want to do anything just feel so sad and down. I hate the way I look now and I try to think about what I’ve created but I can’t help but miss how I used to look. I can’t hang around people anymore. I was just at my par...

My 3 month old has gotten super fussy lately. Every time my husband tries to feed him or put him to sleep, he just starts crying nonstop. He was fine before but this started about two weeks ago. He’ll be happy with my husband for a little bit but as soon as he gives him the bottle, it’s like all hell breaks loose. I...

Anybody else struggle during the week feeling isolated but ok when partners are home on the weekend? We moved over a year ago and the community hasn’t been super warm so we have struggled to make friends. I have no family in a 1200 mile radius and our friends are about 45 mins away. What are other moms doing to com...

This man is phenomenal. He is tad annoying at times lol most times, but he is soft, tender, and very giving. He made a stay at mom since the beginning of my pregnancy, being that we had a miscarriage a few years back because of the stress at surrounding work. Since that time, I've not lacked anything. My wants ,n...

I’ve recently started driving again and nervous about it anyway but to top it off my little boy HATES being in the car, especially in the back by himself. Usually it’s my husband driving so when he starts playing up I just jump in the back. I’ve only done short journeys driving on my own with him so it’s not been t...

Many, many people are shocked at how well I usually keep the house with 2.5 kids - 9, 4 and 1. I have a part time SE job myself. I do EVERYTHING CARE WISE with the kids. He does absolutely nothing but play fight with them here and there, offer treats and days out etc. occasionally plays instruments with them. Gets u...

Any advice on moving your family out of state to better your self and your family.. I am terrified to leave my mom, dad, siblings… all of that. How do I cope with leaving? Nothing is here except my family. Do I do what’s best for the family I am creating? This is been an internal battle for a while now and don’t kn...

I am extrovert and my spouse is complete introvert. He wouldn’t make any effort to have social circle, even if I bring my friends he will find an excuse and will not stay there. I am finding it too hard without people, and people of my age are all married and have kids. I feel terrible to go just with kids, and in ...

How can I let go? My husband says I want to be in control 24/7 with everything but I think its from the trauma he caused in our relationship and the lack of rebuilding I needed to see.

Okay so I’m afraid to say this a little as feel I’ll get hate but I haven’t found having a baby hard 🤷🏻‍♀️ I get I am probably very lucky to feel this, but generally it’s been best time of my life, I enjoy all of it, yes I had nights when I was exhausted but a friend said to me, have you got angry at baby yet and I…

Well not quite free time ....once my LO is off to bed at 7pm, I think phewww I have some free time to myself and sort out the dishes and clothes, watch netflix, check my socials etc as I spend the whole day glued to the baby he doesn't even like it when I'm on the phone or open up the laptop as he thinks its fun to ...

How much, if anything, would you pay? So, I have a 7mo and I work nights 2-3 nights per week. I've had someone living here since end of May. They paid a little the 1st few months but they got close with my son and I trusted them enough to babysit while I work. They haven't paid anything to live here the last couple...

This is our second child. He was pretty much the same with our first but i thought that was partially due to the fact that it was all new and unexpected. However, now even with our second newborn, my husband just gets so stressed when the baby cries. I just left the baby with him while I took a shower, I came out...

Every time I turn around someone just got a new car, bought a new house, having babies left and right and I’m scratching my head bc are we living in this same economy?? I work a decent job and we have a decent income between my husband and I but I must not be doing something right. Don’t get me wrong, we’re comforta...

It's relentless, every interaction my husband has with our daughter lately ends in a power battle where he's decided exactly how things are going to go, she disagrees/wants to do things differently, he digs his heels in and is really strict and stern with his words, she's not being listened to in the slightest and f...

Day two of my son being in daycare and I’m counting down the hours til people. I think I may have separation anxiety. How long did it take for you to adjust not having your babies with you?

My almost one year old attends nursery a few days a week. When I drop him off he’s beside himself the second I step in the door, I guess that’s to be expected because of his age 🤷🏼‍♀️ multiple things have happened that have left us doubting how well he is being looked after, nothing major but slowly chipping away…

yall, i have been with my husband for three years, we just celebrated our one year anniversary (marriage), and we have a four month old daughter together. when we got married, my husband changed his last name (from his dads to mine), and for some reason this set his paternal grandparents off. well we happened to get...

For the mums who work from home and your child is at home too does it work? I know this probably has a lot to do with your child’s personality but I’ve just got a new job which requires me to be in the office two days and home three days. My girl will be in nursery for the two days I’m in the office but I can’t bare...

So a few weeks ago my mum bought my LB a new car seat for her car and my partner was annoyed, today I've picked up a second hand pram to keep at my MILs to save me taking mine every time I go there, when my boy was 8 weeks old me and my mum went halves on a pushchair which was £65 as my travel system just wasn't rig...
