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...

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...

I feel like I am currently a single parent with a newborn. My child’s father doesn’t help with any night feeds, doesn’t help wash and sterilise bottles, doesnt bath our child and barely changes any nappies he also doesn’t help with any housework other than change/take the bin out! Tonight he has the audacity to turn...

I need some help to try to see things from the other side. I need you all to be brutally honest with me because I hate the way I feel. This is long so I’m sorry but I really need the help. My husband either has the worst luck in the world or I really was blind and don’t know who he is. So he had the same job for 20 ...

I have been so sad lately about everything apart from my daughter, she is the only person that makes me smile. I feel like I have completely lost my identity. I used to love my body now I have this weird stomach and all the stretch marks and I have a hernia that I am going to need surgery for. I just look not put to...

It sucks when you don't know what to do. I live with my mom with my fiance and 2 year old son. We are both looking for a job but it is kind of hard when we only have one vehicle which is my moms old jeep she is not willing to help out with anything. She told me more then one time that she will sing the jeep over to ...

3 year old and 2 month old….. I just want to scream into the void since no one else listens to me. Every 5 min it’s “look mama” “mama look at this” “can I have a snack” “can I have _____” and then when I give him what he asked for “no!” Also his new thing is throwing toys behind the sofa - including a cheese stick f...

Ladies how do I get my sex drive back. It seems like it went away after I had my twins. They are 6 now and things are way easier than they used to be but I find my self just always tired. My partner helps a lot with them but I still am so tired during the day. My partner sometimes makes comments to me about wanting ...

Am I wrong? What are others opinions? So usually on Christmas Day we go and visit both of our parents with our toddler however for the last 2 years(so both of our little ones christmases so far) we have gone to my husbands parents first(we live close to them) and then we’ve gone to my parents for dinner. But because...

My partner and father of my 19 month old loves to travel. Okay- fine. But he’s literally gone on like 6 trips since our sons been born. Not for work- for pleasure. Mostly football games. The first time he left I was 3 months postpartum. The next time was at 6 months postpartum and our son was going through a growth ...

My husband always rough houses with me too hard for example picking me up and throwing me on to a couch, I always always tell him no I don’t like it and that he’s to hard and it hurts. He never says sorry and tells me I’m being a cry baby. Also if he gets mad at me in public and I try to hold his hand he will throw ...

Hey! How do you promote independent play time? My almost 7 month old baby always needs to have someone in view and recently has been giving his sitter trouble with not allowing her to set him down. I’m nervous she’s going to drop us from her care. I try to let him play by himself when he’s at home with me but I need...
