This may sound silly, but I feel guilty for feeling like my life is great. I have two beautiful children that I prayed for. The Lord has brought me through so much and now I feel guilty for the peace he is given me. I see some things people experience and I feel guilty for being thankful and joyful through all my ...

For those of you who have babies with red hair, were they born with red hair or did it develop later?

Someone just posted something crazy like this and obviously deleted so quick. Mother’s Day is coming up and this is the vibes some of y’all are on?

My baby is pretty happy at home, will amuse herself independently for a while too but she is always unsettled when we leave the house. She will tolerate maybe 15 minutes in the buggy, bassinet or the open seat. She will only go in a carrier if she's asleep. And she will be carried in arms for about 10 minutes max be...

Has anyone else’s baby become so clingy? All she wants is me and it’s so tiring. She used to be happy to independently play and things but now she needs me by her side 24/7. Even when I’m right next to her it doesn’t seem good enough and she stands or sits next to me crying saying “mum mum mum”. I love that she want...

He’s treated me like garbage for 13 years I can’t do it anymore. Mental physical emotional and financial abuse for years. I think I might be pregnant with our second baby I’m not sure yet

My 3 year old son is half black and half white. He’s always had great hair that’s been fairly easy to maintain. We’ve stuck to a regular schedule of shampoo and conditioner every other day. Combing while hair is wet and putting leave in and a bit of mousse in for styling. We don’t braid his hair or keep it in any ti...

My almsot two year olds hair is falling off, when I brush it after a shower or in the morning to do her hair. Is this her baby hair falling off or is is something else. I already messaged her Pediatrician but she might not reply until Friday. Has this happen to anyone else’s toddler ?

I’m thinking back on the last week with my MIL. 1) why was she so stubborn that she wouldn’t even go to the hospital when EVERYONE was telling her. We had to send an ambulance. She wouldn’t be so bad off if she has listened to everyone who was telling her FOR OVER A WEEK that she needed to go 2) she didn’t want t...

I'm 36W with baby #2 and feel like I'm constantly dismissed by my midwife. I've met her 3 times and each meeting has been less than 15 minutes. I knew when I found out you have less appointments in your second pregnancy that things would be different but it's starting to bother me. I met her for the first time at...
