No time with partner

It’s getting me down how little alone time I get with my partner. Our baby is so full on and needs someone entertaining him 24/7 so we don’t even get the chance to watch tv together. He takes most of the evening to settle to sleep and by the time he is asleep I’m just exhausted and go to sleep as well

Best friend? Rant

My “best friend”, who I’ve known since elementary school, had a baby a few months before me and has been acting very weird since. She came late to my baby shower and left early all the while her husband stayed in the parking lot the WHOLE TIME. And it was just odd. After I had my baby, she invited herself over multi...

I recently lost my only local friend due to her judging my child and talking negatively about him/his behavior. Her comments made me doubt my abilities and my son’s behavior which is why I’m over explaining a bit. My son is 2.5 and an out going, adventurous only child. None of his babysitters or weekly caregivers ha...

I don’t want to put my son in daycare. Will it negatively impact him?

My son is 11 months old. I was originally planning to put him in daycare at around 13 months.

We attend playgroups and swimming le...
