Hey all, I’m looking for some advice/ reassurance. My 18 month old loves the TV. She asks for ‘cartoons’ everyday. Specifically Winnie the Pooh. I probably give in once a day, she will watch up to an hour but sometimes less. I know it’s not recommended to let them watch tv until they are two, but that seems impossib...

I was shocked when my lil girl told me this today. She said I am not beautiful, I am ugly. I asked her who told her that? She named some teacher at her school. She recently started new school 3 weeks ago. Should I be worried or ignore as something that a toddler might have said in passing ? She is actually pretty an...

Not a full blown argument about how you feel. You deserve to be made special when you not only cheat on me and had me and my sons in the same bed we both made our daughter and you cheated I’m 19 weeks pregnant with our first daughter You help me in no way Consent strew and manipulation which gets you cussed smooth...

I could use a hug… I just feel terrible right now. To summarize, my husband scratched his car on his way home from picking up our toddler from his parents house. He came in the house super angry and tried to blame it on ME because he was “rushing” after I texted if he was on his way home since it was almost 10pm. I ...

I am so done with my son. He is 17 months old, and I hate putting him to sleep...in fact I can't put him to sleep. Call me a shit mom, I don't care, but I can not for the life of me get this child to stop screaming at night. Like literally screaming. I can barely talk to him he can barely breathe with how much he's ...

For the last week or so my son has been waking up in the middle of the night screaming some nights I can settle him sometimes he wakes his little sister. Today his woke up at 3:25, woken his sister up they are both still awake now. He has nursery today 8:50-2:50, I don't work as also have a 20 month old and a 6 mont...

My partner came home and asked me what is wrong with the living room. He was referring to the blinds being open and it’s dark. I’ve been busy with baby and was putting him to sleep so I didn’t even notice. I don’t like that’s the first thing he tells me as he gets home. More so the way he said it. It feels like he’s...

He’s doing drugs (cocaine) in MY flat and I have asked him to leave and he refuses to leave. I got to a point where I screamed at him to leave. He’s always losing jobs because of his problem and I have kicked him out so many times but he keeps coming back and knocking on the door and then my son is like “daddy…

I am soo annoyed with my boyfriend. He gets home from work takes a shit, showers, cuts his nails, does his hair, picks at his face then FINALLY he’s done & I say I’m getting in the shower it’s been 2 days, he asks if his weed vape is anywhere & I say yeah are you sure you want it right now, he says yes but I’m like ...

sometimes my son has a hard time falling asleep and me or his dad have to go in and lay on the floor until he falls asleep. He’s almost 2 so it doesnt happen often but it happens. Last time was probably 6-7 months ago. Anyways, tonight was one of those nights. I ran to grab milk after he was put to bed but when I wa...

Went to the park today and a little girl just a few months older than mine pushed him. Oh how I had to hold back not pushing her back (which I know is horrible) but I’ll be damned if anyone treats my son poorly. The dad to the little girl did tell her no but kind of tried to laugh it off. My boy is the sweetest kid ...

But also wondering if I’m taking it too far. My husband and I are in a financial rut. We overextended ourselves for family the last few months and just as we started to recover, a ridiculous storm came through and took out $4000 worth of trees on our property. These expenses have made it difficult for us to make end...

Does anyone else feel uneasy, anxious, unprotected etc when their husband isn’t home. I’m not talking about an unhealthy relationship where he goes to the grocery store and I’m sobbing in the corner lol I mean in general when they’re gone for longer period of time. This is my husbands first time away since we’ve had...

When I decided to get my Cocker Spaniel, I had no idea I was already pregnant. By the time I picked him up, I was unknowingly expecting. The first few months were really tough because I was dealing with terrible nausea and sickness, which made caring for a new puppy so challenging. Thankfully, that phase eventually ...

My baby is 6 months old and I have not been away from her at all since she was born. I would like to have the opportunity and take my SO out to have time to reconnect together. With that being said I have been in mom mode since my daughter was born, I have no idea what to do for “fun” or “me time” anymore lol! Wha...

My life just came together in a matter of six months. Praise the Lord, my prayers were answered. Now, the only thing that is making things difficult is being a step mother. My step son moved in with us two weeks ago. His mom kicked him out because he had bad behavior. His step dad was not a help. I was excited about...

Just a rant… but I do find my partner a very difficult person to communicate with. He is very stubborn and the method of communication he uses aren’t quite right in my opinion. He prefers to not talk about things (just silence) and wants to always take the decisions himself (even if I am 50% responsible for that dec...

My husband and I have a beautiful 9 week old son. Since he’s been born, I’ve been doing every single night shift with him chipping in here and there to hold him. Before I was EBF so the excuse was that our son needed me and he was limited on what he could do to help. However, now due to circumstances beyond my cont...

I have a 1 year old and currently 35 weeks pregnant, I’ve been cleaning my house literally everyday for the past 2 weeks trying to get ready for the baby. My mother in law came over and said “it looks like you haven’t cleaned in months” like thank you for telling me how you feel. I’m fucking exhausted and literally ...

Definitely not motherhood related BUT my husband is a truck driver. Gone Monday-Friday. His semi has put us in SOO much debt and caused nothing but stress. We both have wanted him out of it for soo long but long story short he couldn’t leave. Anyways I told him a long time ago the day he walks away I’m throwing a pa...
