I work in a restaurant inside of a hotel, I have just started my position a month ago I have an employee who has been with us for 10 years. She constantly is rude to the staff and then plays victims denying everything and swearing up and down she’s being bullied and she didn’t do whatever it is they’re accusing her...

For context my daughter is 2 years, 4 months. She has been brought up as bilingual from the day she was born and her speech development is slightly delayed but health visitors have confirmed that’s likely due to her being taught 2 languages simultaneously. It’s clear she can understand everything and can follow basi...

My little girl is four months old and honestly I’m not sure what the issue is with her but she literally HATES her car seat and her pram! She cries so much to the point she’s losing her breath. We go to our parents home which is literally 7mins on the car, but we have to stop about 4 times to take her out and consol...

Any tips/hacks to deep cleaning laminate floors besides getting on hands and knees to scrub with a brush? My laminate has a lot of ridges/texture to it where dirt gets stuck in and I feel like mopping is only cleaning the surface. I have gotten on my hands and knees to scrub one section of the floor once and so much...

I feel extremely lost. I’ve been with my baby father round three years and have had our child 2 years. My BD has cheated on me with his ex a few times including when I was freshly post partum. After I’ve forgiven him many times (these aren’t the only issues we’ve had) I feel like the relationship just isn’t there an...

Looking to hear some positive experiences really.... My little one (9mo) will be starting nursery on Monday. It's way earlier than I would've liked but my SMP is stopping and we need my income. I feel really heartbroken about him going and this chapter coming to an end. I feel really guilty that he's so little a...

I'm 9, nearly 10 weeks pregnant and I have a 1 year old who's teething and is up a lot at night at the moment. I'm suffering from hyperemesis, I'm on 2 anti sickness tablets a day but I'm still being sick and very tired. My partner is due to go out tomorrow. I've said to him I may need him to stay home as I'm stil...

I don't know if it'd just hormones or I've fallen out of love but I cannot stand my partner at all. I know it sounds horrible but his presence irritates me, I dread him coming back home I prefer when im on my own, everything he does annoys me like even the way he is with the baby even though he's not really doing an...

I cried about 4 times today since the morning. I’m a SAHM and I have an almost 2 year old. I feel so lonely. We only have 1 car so I can’t go anywhere or have any adult human interaction with anybody. I feel like I’m just breaking. My grandma can’t really watch my daughter for more than a few hours so I don’t ask he...

I need advices. I was found very low ovarian reserve at my 36 and since then have TTC and have just had a failed IVF. Husband and I have long had issues and fight constantly, but with low OR and wanting a kid in my life I persuaded myself he is not that bad, and people said men change when having baby? I keep creati...

Hello please let me know what you would do in this position. When I got married my husband promised never to cheat well I was working with his phone 2years ago and saw some flirty messages with ladies and he denied it and claimed it was before we started living together I let it go and tried to build trust again, fe...

So I’ve never had to be in a position where you have to have next pay later accounts or Klarna. However, I’m a single mum which I never expected to be, I don’t get any money from my baby’s dad and never have, I’ve just lost my job due to not having childcare. And I have no clothes to wear, I have one pair of legging...

Looking for advice. My 3 year old started pre school last September at 2 years old and has always loved going until now. She had the summer holidays off in which time she spent a lot of it with her little sister who is 18 months. Since going back to pre school, she is now saying she doesn’t like school and doesn’t w...

How are we all doing? 😬 My partner went out for a couple of hours today and it was my first time home with my 2 year old and 2 week old… oh my god 😳 My 2 year old had a melt down for an hour and there wasn’t anything I could do to help. Everything I was doing was making it worse. Tried to put the baby down so I…

I feel silly posting this but I am feeling pretty heartbroken and just hoping to hear that I’m not the only one my one experiencing this right now and it seems like no one around me understands or I worry about talking about it with people because I worry that it will make me look like I am a bad mom. My 17 month ol...

I’ve been with my husband for 5 years. We have 3 children together, we are married. Before we got together, he was in a relationship for about 8 years (ON and OFF) - no children and never married. I found out about a year in that he was still looking her up on social media and little things that were inappropriate. ...

Hey guys, so I just had a letter from the school saying that one of the pupils has been found with headlice and to keep an eye out on our children etc. My daughters has 3c any ideas of how to keep the nits out!?

I am a sahm to my 8 month old boy. While I love what I do, it’s the hardest thing I’ve done. My boyfriend works a 7-5:30 job (which he’s late to everyday) and he thinks being a sahm is easy. When I tell him it’s not he tells me to give him reasons why it’s not and says he would gladly trade with me if I want to ge...

How can I learn to be more trusting? I’m literally driving myself mad and it’s 100% my own fault. I don’t trust anyone and I know that’s not necessarily a bad thing but it’s not good either. I get myself all anxious and hyped up for no reason. For example my soon to be husband didn’t answer the phone so I checked hi...
