Maybe it's just me, or the fact that i am an over protective mama bear and things tend to get on my nerves. Especially when it comes to other people.

So hi for a bit of backstory I am a single mom who left my bd cuz he was cheating. It’s been a year n a half since I left him n I’ve done copious amounts of therapy cuz the man was a lot.

I’m so annoyed at myself 🙄 I can never get my point accords fully cause I start crying.

I know about terrible 2, but I don't think all toddlers are really challenging...I go to group with my daughter quite often and see same children there, but many of them I never saw crying or shouting , having meltdown like my daughter, she has it all the time...and I am so so drained...plus when her dad is off is ...

My 1 year old is currently at the stage where she’s throwing tantrums for no reason. She ‘cries’ at everything when she doesn’t have things go her way, she screams at everything and is throwing everything. I’m pregnant, nearly due and I feel like crying when she does this, my hormones are all over the place which do...

Hi gals I am just at the end of my rope with my relationship. My partner is not a very vocal person in our relationship or whatever you wanna call it at this point. Often times I tried to have conversations or create conversation to discuss a few things that we might need to work on on our relationship whether it’s ...

11 wks pp, I sometimes get pain randomly to my lower abdo where my scar is, what’s everyone doing to relieve it? It’s not super painful but just uncomfortable… Heat packs? Panadol? Just ride it out?

Has anyone developed either of these after labour? I’m really concerned about my leg and I’ll be going to the drs tomorrow. What were your signs/symptoms? How did they diagnose? Treatment? Yes I know none of y’all are drs, just asking for experiences! Tia x

My milk supply has simply dried up and it has broke my heart. All kinds of emotion has hit me at the same time. Hard. I wish my body could support my hungry baby. He does perfect with formula but I’m just sad. I’m back to collecting what little I do have with a syringe.
