Anyone else fed up of being told we can’t complain about things being hard because we chose to have children or because we won’t sleep train then we can’t complain about how hard it is to get LO to sleep. Surely just because you choose something doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to find it hard??

Does anyone feel super run down all the time? I’ve really been struggling mentally and emotionally with my two kids (my eldest is 2.5 years and youngest is 9 months). My son who’s turning 3 years in April might be on spectrum. I feel like every single day is a struggle. I don’t know if it’s normal to feel this way...

Anyone marry a man who is a complete mommas boy. I can’t even say mommas boy. More so he gets extremely annoyed but will still do anything his mother wants whenever she wants. I’m engaged to be married, I just had an outpatient procedure done. Although not a big deal there is still healing time and pain involved. We...

I'm not sure if it's due to now having a 4month old brother around. But I can barely leave a room, even stand up without her bursting into tears or yelling Mummy and having to hold my hand or be carried everywhere. She used to play independently or I would at least be able to leave a room for a few mins..but soon a...

First off, my little one loves going to nursery, he's never been bothered and goes straight in without a fuss. I always said he would only got to nursery for the social side off it. However had a few issues come up lately and I just need someone else to tell me I'm not over reacting. So for the past month he's be...

Hi I’m abit stress and just wondering other mam’s opinion about this. My little girl just started primary school nursery last month. It has been 5 weeks and the school has few red flags. It is an outstanding school but I just feel so off about them. She is 2.5yrs and the first three days, no one changed her nappy, s...

Shes always struggling with money & asking for help with with bills. Mind you we're kinda paycheck to paycheck with maybe a little extra at the end of the mmonth. She'll post on snap or insta eating out or a shopping but then 2 days later ask for money to pay some bills. Told her I wasn't going to be able to help he...

I can’t stress this enough. Please give any young girl you know this bit of advice. Get to know your significant others family before marriage! Make them tell you EVERYTHING! Head to counseling if you have to. Things I’ve found out about my hateful ass mother in laws family after she made me feel like I wasn’t good...

IM SO PISSED OFF!!!! because he works he thinks it’s acceptable and reasonable that when he gets home he just sits on his arse all evening on his phone and does nothing cos looking after baby is ‘my job’ and his is working. bare in mind he has a sales job so nothing physically taxing as that would be a different sto...

I feel awful posting this because I know my mom loves the bones out of all of us but I’m finding her so draining currently. I have a 14 month old and am currently 5 months pregnant. I love her but I would describe my mom as lazy (she wouldn’t agree with this) she naps everyday, everyone has to drive her around if we...

I never knew this would even be an issue but my little boy is starting nursery in November and I am going back to work full time. As much as I really don’t want to at the moment I need to go back full time for us to be able to live and pay bills. Me and my partner both will be working full time. I am going to look f...

I’m scared I feel like I’m not attracted to my boyfriend anymore, he doesn’t take care of his teeth as in even brush them, and he has a ton of tooth problems, he complains every single day of pain and I feel bad but there’s literally nothing I can do about it. He’s taking a shit ton of Advil every single day, don’t ...

I’m in a 6 month relationship with a man whom I love and I just don’t know what to do right now. There are three incidences which have occurred, the last one bringing me to a place of reflection… He has gone to the strip club before, stayed the night at a “female friends” home and lied to me about it, and then made...

Ladies, please tell me I’m not the only one who feels like as soon as your husband sees you trying really hard to just be happy and have a good day he has to make it all about how bad his day is and how shitty he feels. Like this morning, I took our newborn with me to go get my husband and I coffee, expecting him to...

Because they’ll come for me 😂 BUT…don’t you think the population has turned into fucking fairy’s!!! Everything is taken the wrong way…and things that involve kids, I seen a post the other day about her 4yr old kisses another child is school and she’s worrying?! Like wtf why is that even interpreted in any other…

I’m not a no screen time mum but just wondering how you lot are actually do it pls? How are you entertaining your child in between showering, cooking, cleaning, you know.. the necessary everyday things that needs to get done on a daily basis? I always try and rush and do things as quickly as possible to attend to my...

Why do mothers in-laws think they are so entitled to your children? If they don’t have respect for the mother, you cannot hate the roots that created the apple in my experience. I used to be close to my mother-in-law until guy actually opened up my eyes to see the real true colors of her she plays the victim in the ...

I have a 18m old and my daughter is 3 weeks. And goodness me the mum guilt is real. My 18m old is into everything, climbing, opening doors etc, so when I'm feeding the baby he has to be strapped in his high chair for his own safety, cos while feeding her im not able to jump up as quick if needed. I'm at home alone...

My 3 year old’s dance teacher (who is still kind of a stranger to her and us), closes the door during class. Granted, it’s tap so it’s very loud. Still, she’s not in daycare so I’m not used to putting her in a room without me. I’m good at letting her practice her independence, but even still, if I’m waiting there I ...
