Dying to know the stats on this!

Does anyone else experience major anxiety over the thought of meeting up with in laws? They’re rude and self centred and I find them toxic to be around. My partner knows I dont like them but I obviously hide it and make an effort to be nice around them for the sake of him and our baby. Anyone else? Tips on how to ge...

I always wake up with our son in the morning. Even if I try to get his dad to get him he refuses to wake up. Last night I also got up in the night and spent 30 mins settling our son back to sleep (he normally sleeps through). So when he woke up this morning, crying and very upset, I shoved his dad until he woke up a...

This used to be an issue I suffered with... I've got kids from different Dad's, and I can say I'm not a huge fan of in laws 🤣 in laws are easier to deal with when they aren't your in laws anymore... weird or a coincidence, idk... they kinda have no choice but to be nice, though... 😅 Anyhow, I repeatedly had this…

Why do MILs play victim!!! My son turned 1 a couple of days ago. Very little effort has been made all his life and we haven’t heard much from them. But to say ‘I didn’t know I was invited to come over’ when we mentioned I briefly prior to going away that they can come over today to see him. Do I stop playing th...

My husband sees his friend on the day I work every week. He goes for lunch with our toddler to the pub with his friends every week . He also expects me to go out for dinner with them often but the problem is they don't like me. I can tell and I keep saying to him i don't want to be forced to go because it's so awkwa...

My partner works nights 6 days a week and sleeps in the daytime. He probably spends an hour or 2 a day with our toddler and it's always been like this since the day my son was born 18 months ago. We don't have family or friends around to help us so everything falls on me. I could count on 1 hand the number of times ...

Im due in November, I’m so excited for baby girl to get here but my boyfriend couldn’t be less interested. He’s not one to talk about his feelings and never has been he never talks about her or asks how I’m feeling or how she is. Hes not interested in her movements and doesn’t want to feel her kick. I personally lov...

I was walking to the bathroom and all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain run through my body (from my stomach down to my legs) and I couldn’t walk because it hurt so bad. I also peed on myself a little as I could not control it. I was in so much pain and literally could not move. I have kiddos aged 7,4 &3 and they were...

I wanted to do a poll but It's not enough room for me to explain what I want to know. Would you ladies rather have A) a man who makes bank and would rather hire you any help you needed as a SAHM and manager of the household and you never had to worry about anything? But he doesn't help you. He thinks him hiring yo...

So I recently found an old only fans purchase from my bf from last year, I confronted him and in conclusion I believe it was more of a curiosity thing than anything. He also recently went on a Vegas trip with his boys (which I let him go to) and I found weird conversation with his friend while they were there. Anywa...

Anyone else's husband suddenly have to go take a 💩 then moment you decide to take a few minutes to do something by yourself that involves them being alone with your toddler? (His bathroom breaks take an hour)

So yesterday my friend was on TikTok live and my babies father came on her live to flirt with her and ask her out. (He doesn’t know that we’re friends btw) He even requested to message her and liked a bunch of her pics. It really seems like he was trying to get to know her. My friend ended up pretending and playing ...

My baby boy is 6 weeks and struggling with reflux so much the past few weeks. I’m mentally drained. I’ve tried everything and nothing works, it seems to actually be getting worse. As a result, neither of us are sleeping well, I’m mentally exhausted with 2 hours of sleep normally, I want to scream. I was so excite...

Is anyone else’s partner relied on them so much that now you’re back to work they still expect you to do the same as if you weren’t working? He can’t be bothered to put his laundry away after it’s been washed. Doesn’t get up for our son in the morning to take him to nursery. If he had lunch at home the mess he leav...

My partner is taking our baby out for the first time on his own tomorrow. My best friend is taking me on a spa day which is so lovely (and needed) but I’ve only ever been away from my baby for about an hour tops and that’s with my partner at home with her, he’s never taken her out without me. I have severe anxiety a...

My baby is 5 mo. Ever since he hit 4 mo, going out to a cafe or to meet up with anyone has been really challenging. I try to do everything right: pump a load of milk so he's got loads of food, make sure he's had a good nap, bring a load of engaging toys with me, a carrier to settle him and make sure I vary his posit...

This post is so petty but I need to get if off my chest lol & get some advice My husband at times gives me the ‘ick’. He has a mum who wants to be involved in EVERY aspect of his life. It is honestly jarring but as long as she is not interfering in my or our life as a married couple, I just let them be. However ...

I need serious advice and guidance here me and my partner have been together for 5 years we have a 3 year old, long story short he’s always been so controlling like I can’t talk with certain people can’t be on my phone and when n what I should feed my child and what I should put on my child when we go out, when he s...

Had my beautiful baby boy yesterday afternoon!! 🩵 My husband has been my rock through my entire pregnancy, labor, birth, and has been doing all the feedings and diaper changes for our son since he’s arrived on top of helping me go to the bathroom. Today he went home to just check on things and our cats and he…
