My baby boy is 12 weeks old and I’ve not enjoyed a single moment of PP/maternity leave. I love him and would do anything for him but I’m struggling with the fact my freedom has gone completely and I exist now just for him. It’s a cycle of BF changing, napping and as he doesn’t nap anywhere but me, we can’t go out fo...
my family keeps telling me that it doesn’t and my aunt keeps telling me there’s nothing wrong with buying second hand toys since the kids will literally never know the difference, plus i’ll be able to get more for them but i still feel bad :/ of course they’ll have a few new gifts from us and plenty from my family/m...
The hardest part about working from home is staying concentrated long enough to actually get work done. Between this baby and my short attention span the struggle is real 😩
Am I dating the wrong gender? 3rd baby and 3rd baby daddy. Everything in our relationship is great, this is the best relationship ever besides the fact that this is the 3rd time he’s accused me of cheating. He found out when his daughter was 2 that she wasn’t his. She’s 14 now. I’m pregnant with his babygirl and he ...
Hi guys! I’m so broke right now and have a 9 month old but can’t work outside of home right now. Does anyone know what I can do? Any tips? Thank you!
When I was pregnant I found out that he was one messaging my best friend and both sending snaps back and forth and our whole relationship he has done it with other chicks he’s sent money for nudes and kept all this stuff secret! For some reason I stayed but when I found out about my best friend I dropped her and I d...
Im an 18 year old mama to a 5 week old baby girl. Snap: anti-abby
My husband and I spend a lot of time together. When he’s not at work we’re watching tv, cleaning together, we cook together, shower together lol We have a great marriage and we actually like and enjoy each other. We both have very small friend groups so we spend our free time together which I love. The only thing is...
I want to get my mum and dad a gift from our 3month old. Not too sure what to go for though, any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated 😁 Mugs are a no go as they have plenty of those. Something sentimental would be good!
Ok so does anyone else here live far away from family and find yourself feeling lonely or homesick at times?? I moved away from home when I got married 6 years ago (he was in the Navy and stationed 8 hours away). And we’ve basically lived long distance from family ever since. We recently moved again, this time a b...
Guys this is gonna sound mental but I suffer with such bad anxiety like anything will make me worry. N I’ve just rang into work coz I don’t feel great for my shift tomorrow and the nurse on the phone deffo sounded off with me. Can someone just tell me I’m being stupid and that there’s nothing work can say or do. Nev...
I'm massively struggling on what to get for birthday and Christmas! I think with having 2 girls, somewhat close in age.. anything I would buy for a present, we already have! She doesn't really need anything but I'm on the search for little cheap bits, mainly so she has something to open 😂
I don’t know whether to leave or not. I know long term I’d probably be much happier but also I don’t know if we can combat our problems and stay together. My main issue is his drinking, I feel like no matter where we are he will always end up with a beer in hand which leaves me solely responsible for the baby, which...
So I saved up 1500 swedish kronor to get some hash and the guy I was buying from gave my husband fucking soap wrapped in tissue paper I only found out when my husband came home.
My baby daddy cannot get over the fact that I no longer want to be with him…..many years of lies, manipulation and cheating and I’m finally done. He’s a narcissist and put me through hell my whole pregnancy and postpartum. So he does NOTHING for our daughter, she is 1 and I am her SOLE financial provider for everyth...
So I came off my Sertraline earlier this year and was doing okay but recently have been super anxious all the time and feel like I need to go back on. Can I just start taking it again? Or should I speak to my doctor first? I have an appointment but it isn’t until December and I’m really struggling! I was on it for r...
