Hi, I’m wide awake as my LO doesn’t want to sleep but somethings happened tonight and I’m not sure how I feel. My partner doesn’t currently work as I have a health condition that affects my motor function and he looks after our baby. I am self employed and some months earn enough to pay for bills, fun and school f...

I told my husband I wasn’t going to do the dishes tonight so I can just have some me time. He said he guessed he would do it. Then he comes back and says we had a deal that I would do the need to haves. And just started berating me and I’m like you’re making this worse. Its literally dishes and I had a full day of w...

Mamas oh my goodness, what are your best tips for keeping up with cleaning? I am a teacher and my baby girl is in daycare. My husband helps too but once we put her down is clean clean clean and almost no time for ourselves or each other. Also, I try not to clean while baby girl is up because I already miss so much o...

Just wondering what you would do in my situation. My 9 month old started sleeping through the night, but I still have a hard time sleeping and wake up exhausted still. My boyfriend is working full time and is in school full time. Am I wrong to ask him to help more around the house and with childcare? Whenever he is ...

Our 16 month old is well settled into daycare. I work 3.5 days per week and I had him at the centre 3 days per week, however due to mum guilt and just worry that 3 days is too much at this age, I reduced daycare to two days and hired a nanny for the 3rd day, and thought it would be good to get some help occasionally...

I am doing some research on the best Elementary schools in Texas. While doing my research ---- I had a conversation with a counselor at one of these private schools... in an affluent neighborhood (I won't say the name on this post) anyways My concern is ---bullying and conflict resolution. I asked this counsel...

My little one is 5 months old and is going through sleep regression and is also teething. My husband is actually unemployed at the moment and although that may sound good as he’s around more, it isn’t. I’m also thinking that he’s going through some sort of midlife crisis as well. I’ve been trying to be really suppor...

Has anyone started collecting/harvesting colostrum? How far when you started? Any tips/tricks?

How did you guys find motivation to do stuff during the day clean etc. 2u2 and being a SAHM and don’t really have help from dad when he’s home. I find myself not wanting to do anything knowing I have to clean but I’m just not motivated any advice.

I know a lot of mamas have it worse than me out there, and I’m probably complaining about something that’s not even important but I need to get it off my chest. Please. My boyfriend and I have been together 2.5 years, I’m due in April with our first. I try to talk to him about the baby shower or the registry and h...

I understand, I kinda feel the same way if I were to end up in ICU but damn it kinda stung 🥲. Who in ur relationship has that power ?

So it’s been this thing now since he was abt 2 & half bt I thot it was jus the terrible 2s bt it’s hasn’t stopped! my son will deliberately hurt himself when he senses that we are “upset” with him or when I tell him no. He ends up getting upset and then his favorite thing to do is to bang his fore head on the wall c...

Could cry with how much I’ve managed on my 3rd day harvesting 😭 over the moon x

Hi mamas! I have been struggling lately with like serious mom guilt. I work full time at a car dealership and my son is in daycare. I normally am okay but this week the daycare is closed so my cousin is watching him and it’s making me feel like absolute sh*t. My own cousin is seeing him more than me. I’ve been so e...

So my mom recently has said her feelings are hurt because she chose the name Grammy instead of Grandma. Well my boyfriend's mom recently said that's what she wanted her name to be as well without knowing my mom said she wanted to be called that. I told my mom yesterday and I said well if you guys both are Grammy we ...

Please read if your kids go to the daycare at LLAC! The room is so disgusting and the owners refuse to clean the carpet even though the staff has been begging for years. They do not want to pay their staff for extra hours so there is no time to clean the toys. They spray for ants and don’t clean it up!!!! I will p...

I'm totally done with my husband, he doesnt know it yet. I have to be separated for a year before filing for divorce. Can anyone please send me a separation and co parenting agreement that I could use as a template to get started? Any advice? When should I tell him, after or before I find my own apartment? How shoul...

He says he does SO MUCH around our home and that’s the reason it stays clean…. But the second I stop doing everything I do. It’s a disaster…. This is so frustrating. He totally gaslit me yesterday when we talked about the baby’s play area.

So I’ve been split up from my BD for about a year now due to him wanting to put alcohol and drugs frost over his children. We have an agreement in place that he picks up our eldest child every Sunday at 12noon for a few hours and he takes her to go do something fun. All is going well but recently he’s been saying wh...

My baby is 4 months and is so clingy. It’s to the point I cannot put him down without him screaming. He only wants to be held by me and no one else and it’s so frustrating. He will not take naps longer than 10 minutes by himself which results into contact naps. I’m so overwhelmed because I psychically cannot get any...
