My baby daddy insists on me bringing my 7 week daughter to him (he lives with his mum) in order for them to see her. He won’t come to us (me and baby live with my dad). I don’t want to take her out the house of a late afternoon/evening to see them as it ruins her routine and also I feel like why should I have to lug...

I feel such a failure 😔 I wish I could go back at 6 months and start my son's weaning all over again. He just turned 10 months ago, and we haven’t explored many aliments or textures. I never did BLW. I have had health anxiety (hypochondriac) since I was young, and this is one of the reasons why my son has only…

Hoover recommendations please mamas that pick up toddler crumbs everywhere from a long pile carpet/large area rug. Also have two cats. Current hoover doesn't pick up any of these! 😫🫣 don't want to pay out and it still not pick up from my rug. Can anyone recommend please xox

Just wanted to rant !! So I know husband works for us and our future and I get that he cares but I literally cannot stand him atm , the lack of help and care I get from him for our baby is beyond me … he changes no nappies no outfits barely baths her and rarely feeds her … as a mother and a wife it makes me so frust...

I low key enjoy it. I'm a SAHM now but I used to go all out when I'd pack my own lunch for work. I think that's why I put a little effort into packing his lunch. He doesn't ask for it but he appreciates it when I do. My favorite part about it is when he texts me a photo of the food or a text about how good lefto...

My 2 year old is about to start ABA therapy. I’ve been a stay at home mom but now that he’s off doing that I feel like idk what to do with my own time. He’s autistic and I’m in the process of applying for ssi and all that I’m just not sure what to do

So we were at the mall earlier and my son was having a lot of fun of the escalators. He was going up and coming down so many times. We were not getting in anyone’s way, mind you. And this security guy comes up to me and tells me that there are gum ball machines my son can play on if he wants to AND HANDS ME A SINGLE...

My boyfriend has 3 kids: 10, 8, and 6. His parents are Grandpa S & Nanny. They haven’t met my parents yet. I have a 3 year old son. My parents are Grandpa and Nani (“nah-nee”). Nani is grandma in Hindi, since my ex-husband was Indian. She got the name before we divorced and I never had a reason to change it. My ...

Please no judgement but my LO has become someone I do not enjoy being around Recently the tantrums have been at an all time high, he got a cold not long ago and seems well now but now does not eat anything I serve him unless it’s instant pasta, noodles or yogurts. Screams a lot of the day especially if he doesn’t g...

I’m really struggling at the moment with my husband. We are constantly bickering and I can’t control it much longer. I’m paranoid my little boy will catch on to it 😭 I feel like I have no one to turn too. Is anyone else feeling this way?

How do you and your partners handle finances? I had to stop working due to health issues pretty early in my pregnancy. I’m now 6mo postpartum and I love being a SAHM but I have zero of my own money. I don’t even have a bank account anymore. My man is amazing at providing and will give me money if I ask. But it feels...

Context: So my boyfriend and I just had our little man 10 weeks ago. We fight as couples do but I have really seen a side to him over the past year I really don’t like and can no longer stand. When someone takes pride in saying they don’t respect you I think it’s really time to go. I have offered therapy, counseling...

One of the kids have lice in your child’s class!! I will have to check his hair when he gets home she said!! Idunno wh...

My little girl is 5 weeks on Wednesday. My husband had to go back to work today after 4 weeks with me. It was hard when it was the two of us.. But alone?? 😭 She was so distressed all day. She's sicked up on 3 outfits. She would not let me put her down and when I attempted to so I could go pee, she screamed until…

Honestly, this is a rant about how I feel terrible that my 2 year 8 month old is in daycare from 9:30-5pm. I feel guilty about it because I find that is a long time, but thats the time her dad and I are at work so I guess it leaves us no option. Also she doesn’t nap at home during the weekends, but does at daycare e...

I just wanted to ask other mums about their reality. I have a 6 month old who I love so so much, but I'm finding it so tough. He struggles when I put him down, so I get 5 minutes max. I'm barely showering and getting ready for the day. He also takes very short cat naps 4 X 20 minutes in the day. I try and put him in...

We’ve just got back off a family holiday, I love my husband but my god I’d have happily gone on my own with our little boy. Week started off okay but we only had 1 phone charger between us working (yes we could have bought another one but we’ve got about 5 at home so didn’t see the point and happy to share as long...

Me and my husband are going through a separation right now due to a lot of things but his emotional cheating is on top of the list. I went no contact for 2 months after it happened again. He left by choice. Which he does a lot . he pops back up again of course apologizing. He came and stayed for about two weeks ...

She retired early a few months ago and now I think she is bored, she will not leave me alone. She’ll randomly turn up at my house, invite us over every weekend. She’s started coming over to do the washing. I don’t want her washing my underwear, fuck off!! I spoke to my partner about it, saying it’s too much, she con...
