My partner is very secretive with his phone. If I touch it even by mistake thinking it’s mine he immediately takes it back. He always puts it down face down. He turns his do not disturb on and off depending on if I can see his screen or not. I invited him to lay his head on my lap earlier and he immediately put DND ...

Hey y’all I need some help and advice. My baby is just over 7 weeks old and is the light of my life. Her dad, my boyfriend, hasn’t really been involved with her to the point when he held her yesterday, she just screamed the whole time until I took her. He’s changed maybe 6 diapers the entire time she’s been here. Th...

They're near...

I am so over this age and stage. My son is a completely different person than he was as a 2 year old and I’m praying it gets better at 4.. which is soon 🙃 (November 4th), but all signs point to “haha nope”. Because everything with him has to be an argument (not that I entertain it, I won’t argue with a child), but…

Looking to get others opinions. I was at my son's daycare today and I saw a cockroach by the kitchen. I pointed it out to staff and they mentioned they've been doing treatments and seemed surprised to see it. Do you think I should be alarmed? Would you switch daycare due to that? I'm otherwise happy with the daycare...

I’m currently married, been together with my husband for 10yrs and we have 2 little ones. So to give a little bit of context I’ve never been a jealous type of girl. When I met my husband I told him if he ever cheated on me i wouldn’t care and he would be doing me a favor if I ever found out. I told him the way I fo...

Okay guys I’m a SAHM but have worked most of my life. It’s the most stressful and embarrassing part of my life to ask my husband for money (he’s totally fine with it) so I usually just use the $1500 monthly on bills, gas, groceries and don’t buy much else because I don’t wanna ask for more. He’s trying to save up to...

I feel like a rubbish mum at the moment. My partner said the other day “you can’t be bothered to play with him” he’s very against him watching TV or screen time. I love being a mum but truth be told I don’t enjoy playing with toys and role play stuff. I’d much rather watch a movie or go to a soft play. Im with m...

I’m finding it…

Hi, My baby is 4 weeks old now and every time I put him in the moses basket, he cries hysterically. Even when he's asleep in my arms and I put him into the moses basket, he starts crying after a minute or so.
