Adoption, Fostering & Surrogacy

I found out the gender for my baby and decided to tell the baby dad in hopes that he will want some sort of involvement. But he literally jus blocked me without saying a word. I jus dont understand how someone can be so heartless towards an innocent child thats theirs. Has anyone else been in a similiar situation?

I know everyone wants a village and will think I’m selfish, but it takes the right village to make things work. I have both sets of families live close to us and it has been more stressful than helpful. It’s reiterating broken boundaries, watching family do things “their” way, and seeing them help by taking the bab...

I now know these were topics that should’ve been discussed prior to marriage but I’m curious to hear how convos went if boundaries were set , in relation to bm or visits with kids . Discipline . How things can change if a new child is born . How that would affect holidays if step kid isn’t around etc

Any parenting book recommendations? Thanks in advanced x

Found out I'm due my second baby in December. My first was born December 2023. I need positive stories of having 2 children so close together. My son is so attached to me, I'm scared about the separation this may cause between us.

Due to this, pay 40% tax and have high student loan payments . Since having a baby and going back to work, all my salary is going on either rent or...
