Pre school drama

My little ones only 2 and she recently started pre school. She’s got all the illnesses and a few incident reports as she’s come home with massive bruises scapes and bumps.

Curious to know peoples views..

Porn.. how do people feel about their partners watching porn? Obviously theres a time after the baby that you wait before having sex again, but in the mean time your other half watches porn and explores self pleasure to get through it. Frankly I do not care. I’d rather him watch two randomers than go out and fin...

Separation from baby's father

After 14 years with half the relationship being a lie, I think it's the end of us. We are currently married (almost 3 years..). We have an 11 month old. Unfortunately we moved away from family, only 1.5 hours, but I need to quit work and take baby out of nursery. I am struggling so much and grieving the family I wan...

Should I leave my wife?

Today she cussed me out in front of our 2 year old. We bicker a lot due to stress but we both know not to have blow ups in front of the baby and today she did it and she hasn’t even apologized. I know it’s hard to give advice when you don’t know all the details but I just wanted to get it off my chest. This isn’t ...

Looking for words of encouragement or stories of joy

I’m a mom of a 9 month old and just found out I’m pregnant again. I didn’t enjoy most of being pregnant, had a traumatic birth experience and our baby was super colicky for the first 3 months.

Need friendship advice!

I was best friends with someone for about 15 years. Her son was like my first baby. We were inseparable. When I got married a few years ago, she was 1 of 3 girls who I had stand up in my wedding. She really dropped the ball in a lot of different ways and just was not a friend when I needed her. We really haven’t tal...

Infidelity in marriage

Has anyone experienced infidelity in their marriage, stayed in the marriage and was able to truly forgive, move past it and have a better marriage after that.

Arguing!

I find all me and my husband do since the baby was born is argue. Everything is an issue and we can’t seem to resolve many of them. He told me today he doesn’t think I love him anymore. I told him he doesn’t understand that having a baby attached to me 12-16 hours of the day doesn’t leave me with much time to be v...
