My daughter is 3.5 and started preschool full time this September. There is a kid there with ‘behavioural issues’ and the last 3 days there has been ‘incidents’ where she has hit my little girl or done something to her (squirted a bottle in her face) etc. I’ve spoken to them and they’ve said they will keep an eye, b...

So I’m about 4 months pregnant and I’ve been struggling with morning sickness and bad fatigue. So our house has been a disaster. Like my clean laundry is all on our dining table and some dishes are backed up toys everywhere etc. I stay home most of the time and my husband works 60 hours a week. But he always gets ma...

Background on topic, my SIL has been rude, disrespectful and quite mean to me for years. It’s got to the point where we don’t talk anymore. I’m seeing my SIL at a family party soon. She’s previously interacted with my kids at functions and I’ve hated it but not had the guts to say anything. This time I’m planning to...

My husband and I are in a huge disagreement at the moment because he does not think I should spend a whole night away from my 11 month old baby. This is completely hypothetical, as I have hardly any life now, but he thinks I should ‘take it more seriously’ and not have a night away until LO is older. I am obviousl...

My in laws are in town and I'm 4 weeks post partum. They've been here for 2 months now & hubby wants to take them out. Is it wrong of me to say "I don't want to go out" It's exhausting with a new born, I'm still postpartum and not fully recovered, I breastfeed and hate being outdoors because of lack of privacy and...

So I just need an outlet today. I am currently pregnant with twins (28weeks), my husband and I are both working full time; renovating our house, he works away 5 days during the week so I am managing daily activities plus house & construction admin etc that can't be done at the weekends. I need to emphasise that my ...

I'm really frustrated with my partner for his lack of efforts with our 4 month old. I'm about to go back to work in a month and I'm already stressing about having to work plus look after her all on my own. He works full time but is always leaving early to do whatever he wants. I've had so. Many. Conversations with h...

So my partner talks about being equal but wants to live an old traditional life style (half of) in his eyes I am the mum so I am primary carer to the kids and look after the house. He however expects me to go back to work too (which I am absolutely fine with). He want’s this but isn’t prepared to do every other nigh...

Currently my in-laws are living with us and have been for the last year. They immigrated over and were meant to stay with us for a few months while getting established in the UK, however have discovered that they don’t have the finances to live on their own and so we have come to the arrangement that they will be li...

That I absolutely loathe getting my son ready for nursery in the mornings, they’re just so stressful, hates brushing his teeth, absolutely restless when dressing him up, we’ve probably had a long night the night before because he’s a bad sleeper. I really just don’t enjoy it, it really stresses me out. How do I grou...

I was so angry when my fiance dropped the baby today. When I left out the room to go into my office space to work he was up holding her on his chest and she was sleep and less than an hour later I heard a loud thud on the floor and then heard crying immediately after. I instantly knew she had fallen and my heart sto...

he always been great with his sister (8mo) but the other day he pushed her so hard she rolled sideways twice. obviously we told him and we were stern and told him what could have happened. THEN this morning he’s pushed her again and she fell off the bed, screamed for a bit but she’s fine in herself but i am so upset...

since having baby 4 months ago he said he is put off me because he doesn’t think I’m a good mum, my baby is clean fed and well looked after it’s because she doesn’t sleep and I tell him I’m struggling very badly. He doesn’t live in the country and hasn’t since she was born he doesn’t get it. It’s all down to me, s...

Why are people so damn stupid. Talking about how easy it is or the fact that it’s even possible to support a whole family on minimum wage ? As though it’s even possible to buy a house on minimum wage. Talking about how younger people buy unnecessary things like takeout instead of making food at home. As tho a $15 an...

My fiancé has been struggling with coke use for awhile. Tonight I called the cops but they weren’t much help, we have a 1 year old and I’m pregnant, staying home with no income relying on him entirely. We are in the lists for housing and shelter but what more can I do? I have no where else to go, can CPS take my kid...

So, me & my husband have been together 10 years (married for 5). He has just told me that 2 years into our relationship before we were married/ ONE YEAR Before he proposed to me, he cheated on me & slept with 2 different people. He has also had inappropriate conversations with another woman last year whilst we were ...

i'd just like to know people's opinions on whether they think living with their parents is better during the newborn stage , or if they found it better having their own place . I'm currently 38+4 and both me and my boyfriend decided to stay at my mums place just for extra support as we are both nervous first time pa...
