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. My mother in law who's not been supportive at all or offered to help etc, said I should leave him in there...

anyone else feel like there always relying on there partner to help them to do anything. i'm struggling getting myself up and changed he's having to help me? anyone else??

So I love my man and he loves me but he is the laziest slob I’ve ever met and I’m just so beyond sick of it. We’ve been together for 2.5 years and have a 15 month old daughter. I’m a SAHM and I feel like all the responsibilities pertaining to myself, him, the baby, errands, cleaning, literally everything was just du...

Please tell me others are going through the same. I struggle to get out the house, it takes forever to get my daughter dressed, and as soon as I do, she has a massive tantrum and undresses herself. She also had curly hair which needs to be detangled every day and she refuses to let me near her. I’m so over it, I’ve ...

Hey guys so my baby girl is 15 months old and she’s becoming soooo aggressive lately. If she gets ahold of something she’s not supposed to have and I chase her down, as I get closer, she’ll launch it across the room so no one gets it then. If I pick her up she’ll kick, scream, and bite. Sometimes she’ll randomly jus...

My baby is teething and when he cries at night my husband has no patience sometimes.. he will say things like “stop crying and go to sleep idiot” or “shut up” and other times he will be loving and soothe him I understand it’s hard to hear the cries for some when you’re sleep deprived and work the next day but it ho...

So me and my partner have been split up since end of August, initially we took a break, in between we’ve tried to make it work etc, but have lived apart and remained friendly. It was my decision, after we had our second daughter early may time, I just didn’t feel much for him anymore. I felt a certain way for a whil...

Moms, please tell me if I’m crazy for feeling weirded out by this experience. On Monday, I took my 3 year old and almost 2 year old to a trampoline park. I was carrying my 3 year old and walking a few steps behind my 1 year old (but not holding her hand). We were in a really crowded area with a lot of parents and ki...

My husbands back to work today and just left. I’ve been fortunate that he’s been super good and hands on that I’m now terrified of being alone with our daughter as silly as that may sound. He seems to be so confident and know how to comfort her. She’s having a tough time at moment and I’m going to call our gp see ...

Recently, my MIL found out she has stage 4 cancer and is going for treatment. It’s obviously a scary and sad time for her and my husband. I have a very strange relationship with her, so I don't know how to process this information. After finding out, she sent my husband a list of things she wants to do / to happen...

My daughter is two and a half weeks old and I'm not really coping very well. I feel really alone. My husband is good with her but I don't feel he responds quickly enough when she's fussing so even when he's 'giving me a breather ' I'm still on high alert and can't detach, it just all feels so endless and I need some...

So my sons father has severe PTSD from his time in the service and has major emotional breakdowns... well any breakdown he will have cranked to the max when things dont go his way. He knows he should go get help but has every excuse in the book to not go to therapy even tho multiple people in my family including me ...

Took my LO to the park 11mo. Can’t walk yet she crawls. A boy about 8-10yrs old comes and scooped her up by her arms and runs with her to the play set and put her on the slide he was about to just leave her go from the top of the slide . I was of course on his ass and from talking to him could clearly tell he had sp...

We are moving from the UK to Adelaide Australia and I have no idea what to expect. We know no one there but moving for my husbands job

I’m stressing because idk if he seems like he will be more likely to cheat for these reasons. Am I tripping? Or do you think there’s a good chance he will cheat on me.

Does anyone else’s partner say that they’re holding their baby too much? My bf complains that i walk around with her and hold our daughter too much and that im spoiling her. Anyone else dealing with this?

My baby (6 weeks) was asleep for most of my grocery shopping trip and only started crying when we were at check out. I was alone so I’m tryna bag my shit quick and get out. He was strapped to his car seat and while I was heading toward the exit, I stopped to put all my change and receipts in my wallet and this woman...

Is it just me? Literally Ick. I guess everyone’s situation is different.

Help! I don’t like my step kids. I love them of course but honestly I don’t want to spend any time with them. At all. I’ve been their bonus mom for 4 years now. They are 5 and 7 years old. My husband and I just had our own son and I’m on Mat leave. I pick them up from the bus stop everyday after school and spend 2.5...

I never really had a problem with my unlaws. They're very different to my family however there where never any arguments until i had my baby then it changed. I'm very protective of my baby as anybody would be, i don't want anybody else to have him. I trust my mum to have him however i live with her so it's different...
