So my little boy is nearly 22month old and he's been moved to the bigger room in his nursery because the staff think he was ready for it as he was getting bored with smaller babies not really doing much. So everytime I drop him off since moving into that room he doesn't want to let go of me and absolutely strikes wh...

so my partner is a gym goer and it’s something he really enjoys and also does competitive weightlifting so he’s good at it too. i didnt mind him carrying on once the baby was here (i did ask him to cut down and he did by 1 day a week) but it is hard work on my own. he leaves for work at 6.30am, then comes home at 5p...

I’m not respected, valued, appreciated, supported, loved in my marriage and I’m ready to get out. The only thing holding me back is I feel I’m hurting my kid we share together. 🥹🤨😏😒😞😔😟😕🙁☹️😣😖😫😩🥺😭🤯😱 Don’t see it getting any better because he believes nothing is wrong 😑 I’m exhausted through this all.…

Anyone's LO not enjoying nursery? He only goes 1 day a week which I think has made it harder to get used to it but they say he spends a lot of the day sad and unsettled which real upsets me. I wouldn't mind the drop off crying if it meant he was quickly distracted and okay but the fact he's sad most the day really u...

Do I just leave it be in the garden? It’s got a tarp over it, but it’s not tight fitting and water etc can probably get in. Or do I shovel out the sand and bring it into the garage in a box or something to keep it dry and clean(ish)? Or do we just let it get gross and then replace the sand every year once the wette...

I love my father, he’s an amazing dad but he is also a man 😖 I gave birth 6 months ago and I went through rounds of IVF to fall pregnant and my body quite obviously is not what it used to be and I have extra weight. I’m not in denial about that I am really sensitive about my body and my weight and it’s a big…

I feel so rubbish this morning, my oldest has been unwell with all weekend and my youngest the last few days so I’ve not slept for days so running on empty anyway and now I’ve woken up with the same illness…… I feel absolutely terrible…. And also think my 2nd pp period is starting, after I had my first the periods g...

So my partners family live away down south and we are up north. We had a shower at the weekend and his mum came. There were multiple things that happened that I felt were rude and have been told by friends since things she has said about us and our relationship that I've chosen not to tell him about. She went throug...

Does anyone else wished to have a close relationship with their sister in law? Where you can vent and rant about anything, text eachother whenever or hang out??? We had our moments before but we are good. There’s nothing wrong now. My husband has 2 sisters, one is in her 20’s like me and the other is only a you...

I already feel like I don’t do enough with my almost 11mo but now I’ve caught her cold 😅 we missed her sensory class yesterday because she was still feeling rough but managed to run errands. It’s hard enough getting out of the house where she has three meals and two naps a day so I feel like we have a very small…

I love my husband. I really do. He’s my person. He’s my comfort and my best friend. But when there are issues we talk and he listens and then changes nothing or changes for a day and then right back to hurtful behavior. He prioritizes work over me and our two girls. I don’t know if he just hates being home or loves ...

Hi. So I’m 19 and my husband and I have been together for almost three years and we have a 1 1/2 year old boy. He has a severe 🌽 addiction and our relationship started with him engaged and he found me online (ofc I didn’t know he was 💍) well I feel in my heart that he’s either cheating or watching 🌽. I’m thinking…

Ladies... How do you handle a 19yr old who is just ungrateful? Like. . WE ALL have done SO much for her. That I've not had to do. Extra crap. Obviously I'm not talking about what a parent SHOULD be doing. But extra crap. For instance.... our family decided to move to across the country from Texas. A long ass 5 da...

Just sat outside my 2.5 year olds room listening to her sob “my papa, my papa” for 20 mins. It was my turn for bedtime and she WOULD NOT stop talking and making stuff up. The whole nine yards- she can’t sleep because she hasn’t seen the moon, her hand hurts, she wants papa etc. After 30 mins I lost my cool and told ...

I’m seriously at a loss. I am completely overwhelmed by all of the things I need to do in a day for my baby. Trying to add in solids three times a day is a nightmare. Constant cooking, prepping, shopping, cleaning and bathing is so unrealistic for our schedule. I stay at home with my baby full time, but I also own a...

Ive been with my husband for 12 years and we have two kids together. I know he loves us and his world revolves around us. Unfortunately lately Ive been realizing that 12 years ago I valued and wanted specific characteristics my husband displayed and still does. But fast forward to now I no longer like those characte...

Hi Mama’s, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this .. it been a year that i noticed - before i get my period every month .. i become someone esle - i hate everything & i feel like life doesn’t make sense.. i just want to cry, i want to fight with my husband for some stupid little things .. when he says s...

Three months he was talking to this girl…. He had to go three hours out of town every week for work. It’s complicated, but they don’t have enough armed guards at that location so my husband goes. I’ve felt it in my gut this whole time and now I’m just broken. For almost two years I’ve spent everyday either physicall...

If the whole family is going up to your kids’ bdrm for wind-down time/play blocks. Twin A trips twin B so twin A goes to his room with dad and he’s all pouty and sad and dad doesn’t come back- is it relatively safe to assume that dad is spending time with the upset twin in his room as it’s just before bed and we we...

I’m not sure what the point of this post is but I just needed advice maybe? We have an almost 2 year old, 8 month old puppy, I work full time (2 days at home with toddler and puppy) and I feel like I’m drowning. My partner works long shifts and is out the house 7-7 every day. I’m responsible for everything in th...
