When I say my two year old is more advanced than most of my reception class I am not exaggerating. They are impossible to manage and I’m experienced in reception. Fast forward to tonight and I’m loosing it with my toddler… and it’s not his fault. I have just run out of tolerance after dealing with a classroom full o...

Does anyone else feel they get more horny when there other half isn’t around ?? , I feel I need to get the toys out and soak everywhere when he isn’t around 😜

My fiance and I have been together 5 years (engaged since March). He is so controlling the last year and angry at the world. He can be sat there watching a programme and he’ll make comments like, “her voice is so annoying dont you just want to stab her”… etc. we’ve had arguments where he’s thrown a bouquet of flower...

So this is our situation I’m receiving from a hard c-section. My husband is working at home full time trying to balance home and job. He’s also trying to cook and do household chores and work at the same. At the moment he’s running on empty quickly. On my end I’m taking care of baby, trying to rest/not over do thin...

Honestly, it’s not even a joke anymore—I really don’t like anybody. I can’t stand anyone for more than a week. I can’t trust anyone, I feel like everyone is super fake and nobody actually cares. If I make a new friend and I’m seeing or chatting with her for a week, I already start disliking their habits, and I judge...

I’m booked for an elective section on 2nd Dec, meaning baby will be 3 weeks old on Christmas Day. This year would usually be my husbands family Xmas and originally I said nope, I want to do Xmas lunch at home with our little family (me, hubby, LG (22m) and baby) but you’re welcome to come over to see the kids AM or ...

Unpopular opinion but I feel like it’s harder now then when my lo was a newborn. They’ll be 8 months in a few weeks but I’m finding it hard now, got a playpen but will be in there for 10-20 min stints. Constantly throwing themselves backwards, hates being held now. Has a thing of screaming (think they’re trying to c...

Does anybody else have a problem with nudity, like being uncomfortable if ur partner is wondering around naked for example. I also have issues with being watched getting undressed or something. I've always been insecure about like having sex in daylight too. My partner of 2 years has always accepted the way I am but...

Anyone seem to raising a little spoilt so and so? Seriously where is this temper coming from? My little girl will have a melt down if she doesn’t get her way. I wouldn’t let her play with water today as she was trying to tip a cup of water into her play tea set and feed it to her babies 😵😵my goodness she was…

Is my child a huge issue or is this normal? :( feeling like a failure

So me and my husband want the first two weeks with our newborn to be just us so we can really embrace the start of our parenthood & because my husband could only get 6 weeks off from work. My in-laws are out of the country until mid November. My parents, specifically my mom is the one pushing to come over a week aft...

It’s my partners birthday today and he’s invited the whole family out for a pub quiz that starts at 7pm. Baby is usually in bed by 7pm. I already know I’m going to be the one that’s walking my baby around the pub trying to get her to sleep despite being surrounded by family. Why does the worry and the stress always ...

Context: I’m in my 20’s still living at home with my mum and my child in a 2 bedroom house. Our house isn’t small per se but not necessarily big either, standard I guess. But I do like my own space and sometimes while she’s my bestfriend, me and my mum can clash just like any other mother/daughter relationship. I ...

Have you ladies got back into work after having baby. I’ve always worked in healthcare but had to find a work from home job as doing 12 hour shifts with baby just didn’t seem possible. Found a wfh job that I’ve never done before plus ain’t too interested in. I loved working with patients: Anyways regardless of worki...

I feel so guilty. My and my little boy (7 months) haven’t left the house all day. I’m feeling so run down and just crap I haven’t had the energy to take him out at all. We have spent the day infront of the Tv and I feel awful. Will this be damaging to him??

So my MIL goes by Maw Maw and my baby just recently (days ago) started saying mama after 11 longggggg months of me waiting (and practicing with her lol)and everyone knows I’ve been waiting for her to say it. Well we go over to my MIL she’s so excited to tell me that my baby is saying Mama and that she’s not sure if ...

I’m 39 weeks pregnant and have a 20 month old son. Lately it’s been bothering me that my husband follows provocative Instagram models. I’ve shared how I feel and he said it doesn’t mean anything he just likes seeing women in his feed. A few of them look a bit like me, some of them don’t but most of them are all s...

I have had one of the toughest days of motherhood in my life. Bub is 9 and half months old he is teething and sleep regressing I’m sure but I’m a single mother completely in my own and I’m officially burnt out! I so burnt out I have gotten upset to the point I’m breaking down over a spilt bottle or the slightest noi...

Me, my son and my partner all live in my mum's house. We moved in when my son was 2 months old to help my mum out with her mortgage as my dad was no longer in the picture. My son is now 1 and a half and has started hitting people (adults and children). Me and my partner have been trying to get him to stop and showin...

So I am a WFH mom along with 3 other WFH moms in my department. There are approximately 10 people other employees in my department that are not parents. Some also have a hybrid/WFH schedule. Recently there was an issue with some tasks not getting done and an email went out to the whole department, which is understan...
