How would you react if let's say you were at soft play, the park or like your children's nursery and you see/find out another child has hurt/showed aggression towards your child? But then you get told by staff/parents that the child has SEN issues and they are sorry and try their hardest to keep the child regulated ...

I feel like I live a double life.. one that I tell people everything is great and happy and the one I actually live. Maybe I am being dramatic but I literally can’t talk to friends or family about what I’m going thru because I would be playing a victim or being dramatic. It’s private. No one needs to know our financ...

Why do grandparents (my parents) think it's OK to keep telling me I should do things like this or like that? Anyone else experiencing the same thing? The latest one yesterday was my baby is overweight because I keep giving him creamy milk (Kendamil formula) and not solid food. He's 5 months old! 😥

How do you handle disciplining your child from something they did at daycare hours ago? I don’t want to ignore it, but feel like my window of discipline is now over. What would you do?

I live a comfortable life. I have the luxury of being a stay at home mom. My husband earns good money and all he asks in return is a clean home once a week, full belly, and to care for our son. The problem is he doesn’t love me in my love language. Maybe I have too much time in my hands but I’ve grown resentful. A l...

I’m raising two step kids and my newborn. And it’s killing me. It’s slowly taking me out. We have the kids full custody bc their mom was arrested for stalking and harassing me. But now that I’m raising her kids I wish I never pressed charges. This is so HARD. I barely get help with the baby bc he’s always caring for...

I’ve been in a lame relationship that I should have ended a long time ago. Of course my BD has SOME good characteristics but he’s constantly broke with not enough ambition to improve his situation, irresponsable, and inconsistent. Our daughter is almost 5 months now and I’ve been considering putting him on child s...

I’m so hurt. He continues to belittle me and blame me for everything. I left him after giving birth to our daughter because he continued to lie, cheat, steal, etc. He’s in a new relationship now. As much as I don’t want to be with him and escaped his abuse, it still hurts so much. How can he move on when I’m barely ...

Mostly just a vent sesh hoping someone will get it: Does anyone else have a partner that has a crazy work schedule? Mine is a restaurant GM and works 9am-6pm, 10am-7pm or 2pm-1am shifts, with 2 random days off (aka no normal weekends). This has resulted in me being the sole caretaker 24/7 with dad helping here and ...

So my husbands friend (a mutual friend he met at our job when we worked together) is recently divorced. He has two kids and they are staying with us. Mind you, I have two of my own and TTC our third. I have to cook and clean and do all the motherly duties for not only my children but his two as well. They leave some...

I’ve been with my husband for 5 years. We have 2 young children and to keep up with all the expenses of living, we both work. He works day shift until 1, comes home and is in dad mode. I wake up in mom mode until I have to go to work in the afternoon. In my mind, we are both responsible for the house. In his case,...

I'm in a tough situation. I need to submit a job application to a foreign country, and my sister-in-law wants me to send the documents to her for quicker processing. However, the documents contain personal information I don't want my in-laws to know about. My husband wants to send the documents himself to avoid sham...

My husband won’t forgive me or treat me like the human I am. I let go of my 7mo on the bed to reach the other direction and grab something and he immediately went for the end of the bed and fell off. He is okay. I am not. He fell once from the couch because I let go for a second. And other time he fell from the chan...

Just a positive memo for those getting ready to send your babies to nursery. My little one started today and let me tell you, my heart was in my stomach during drop-off. I cried as soon as I got out the building. I couldn't believe our little maternity bubble was over, and the guilt I had was very, very real. I ...
