My son’s father and I are no longer together but still living in the same house until I find somewhere to go. He didn’t say anything to me and took my son to visit his family for Christmas. I’m alone and my heart hurts that I’m not having fun with my kid and the fact that I made such an enormous mistake being with s...

Hi I’m 33, single, no kids… for the longest time I thought I always wanted to have marriage and kids but the more I see my friends and cousins with their little ones it seems cute but very very exhausting and I know having a child will change your life forever, I have been thinking about what day to day life would l...

Hello, I have extreme crippling social anxiety to the point where I’m scared to leave the house. My LO is nearly 3 and loves going out. Does anyone else have the same issue, if so how do you cope?

Lately I am missing it just being my firstborn child and myself only … I never really wanted more kids now I have two and I’m just lost. I love them both very much but I wish I had only one .

I just wanted to let anyone know that’s suffering with their grief today, that you aren’t alone. I’ve not yet left bed and the tears have been sporadic. I lost my baby at 11+6, 5 days ago. Just do whatever you need today. But don’t feel alone. We are together in our grief.

I'm looking to hear other people's experiences if they have been through the same or going through the same. I am feeling very lost right now and very vulnerable. My partner left me when he found out I was pregnant and he doesn't want anything to do with me or baby. So not only am I having the deal with the break up...

Anyone else have such mixed feelings on Xmas eve/ Xmas day? I feel so happy I can give my 18m/o a happy peaceful day, and so proud of myself managing everything alone- of all the forward planning, budgeting, 3 hour flat pack toy assembly! But I also feel an equal measure of sadness putting chocolate out for Santa w...

Me and my long term partner split up 8 months ago and this will be out first Christmas not altogether as a family 😭 I don’t know what I am going to do 💔 I have no one but my kids and I’m going to have time away from them which I really can’t handle 💔 feel like ending it all 😭

My husband made me feel lonely first pregnancy and I’m feeling lonely this time as well. Last pregnancy he was playing so much video games and it’s picked up again this pregnancy. I don’t understand the reasoning behind it. I feel like there’s this dominating voice around him just emphasizing how annoying,demanding ...

I’m invited to an all white Xmas party this weekend and literally nothing gives me more anxiety than to have to wear all white 🥴

I just feel like telling my mates to fuck off… a group of my mates just went out and ‘forgot to invite me’ I’m telling you all of my mates from work who I’m close with, for an xmas meal. I’m the only one with a kid, I’ve actually cried tonight on my own.. il get over it soon 🥲 but just makes me think how many…

Why do I feel like I’m just so bad at being a mom. I have 2 boys(4 and 1) and I just feel like I’m in survival mode 24/7. I feel like I have zero patience.
