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…

So annoyed. We’ve told the in laws multiple times no one’s allowed to kiss the baby on her face. They visiting for the first time and I’ve seen FIL kiss baby on the cheeks a few times already. Today straight after taking a smoke break outside to vape. Absolutely livid. Now I have to hold baby the entire time to ...

I'm a full time stay at home mum. I have 3 kids aged 5, 3 and 19 months, currently pregnant with my 4th. All the live long day I just get shit from them... crying, screaming, back chat!! I struggle to keep on top of the housework, I'm in too much pain to walk the dog most days. But my husband, who works a 60 hour we...

What do you mama's do? My son is a year. He has recently starting physically fighting me rocking him or cradling him to sleep. I'm in the process of weaning him as well. I don't know what to do as he is big and long - I cannot physically restrain him without completely emptying out all my energy and burning up my ne...

As a SAHM theirs some days where I really just don’t wanna do anything. I’m 22 weeks pregnant with a 1yr old and 2yrs old. My body sometimes asks for rest and I feel sleepy. So instead of cooking for breakfast I order UberEats and I’ll try to organize the house and sweep, but the laundry, mopping the floor and clean...

Y’all how do I deal with a cancer man!?!?

Has anyone else’s little one completely changed over the last few months? Not to be dramatic but I feel like someone’s snook in during the night and swapped my sweet quiet boy for a little demon child lol 😂 We’ve always joked about my LO being the “perfect baby” because since pretty much straight away he’s sleep…

How do you lovely woman cope and deal with public outbursts around kids etc our trauma can be bad in public eye I get embarrassed my partner thinks smacking is a form of punishment for our daughter to stop behavior that irritated and frustrated us he has so much build up anger I'm unsure how to help my live language...

My husband and I tend to frequently disagree on why I don’t often let my son go with his mom despite the fact that she literally doesn’t take him anywhere. He spends the entire weekend at her house doing absolutely nothing but watching tv. I’ve even made suggestions for easy activities she can do with him outside of...

I’m self employed working from home so I can just about manage to work whilst looking after my son, along with family stepping in for an hour here or there. We have the option to send him to nursery but I’m really torn. I’m fortunate my work is flexible enough it’s not necessary to send him, but I would naturally b...

I'm absolutely devastated to say I think we may need to re-home our dog. We have a 2 year old dachshund who has severe separation anxiety. Thankfully he's never destroyed the house but occasionally he will open his bowels when we leave him. But the main issue is the barking, the howling and the crying. We crate trai...

Struggling with my 9 week old. We had a rough ride at the beginning with a lot of sleepless nights and I really suffered with major baby blues but since he turned around 7 weeks I noticed he was doing better with his wind and reflux which was helping him sleep a lot better and in turn me. I felt confident in taking ...

Bit of a random one but defs related to the post baby relationship strain so I wanted to come here for some advice. Since having a baby our sex life has completely died- I know that's quite normal but my sex drive has returned and I have voiced this to my partner but he is never interested as he says he's always too...

Yesterday my son was reenacting being a teacher at home after school. He told me that at his school if the teacher does not think you have done nice drawing, she scrunches the paper up. Do you think I should follow this up with the teacher? Its his 4th week at Reception so wondering how to ask this in a non accusato...

He told me I have a negative attitude towards him, and he's right. I try to hold everything together for our 2 kids but he has hurt me alot. He had an affair before we had the kids that I forgave him for but the hurt never went away and despite all the work I did over that, it did taint my trust of him. And more so ...

OK so this is a lot of info. We currently live with my parents as it is super expensive to live on your own and we are trying to save up. My siblings also all still live at home and one of my siblings has his gf living with us as well. So my son is 19 months old. My bedroom is directly above my brothers bedroom a...
