I’ve been struggling a bit with my partner. He had his doubts about having kids before we had our baby who is now 4 months old. He recently said that having our baby confirmed all the doubts he had in his mind that led him to not want kids (loss of freedom and flexibility, impact on our relationship etc) which are a...

It really grinds my gears when people turn their kids existence against them, like that child didn't choose to be born they don't deserve to hear about mum's terrible pregnancy or how difficult they were as babies. I'm not sure how much it happens now, hence the post to see if it's just me or if there's something I'...

Does anyone else feel like they are letting their baby down by not being able to send them to nursery? I can’t send her because I can’t afford to and i can’t go back to work because I also have a 9 month old. My little girl is so ready to make friends it brakes my heart

We were denied through DCFS because my husband has two kids that he relinquished custody of due to that being the kids wishes. They wanted to live with their mom. He honored that. The mom was also very toxic. I have one son who is our rainbow baby and due to complications during I can’t have anymore. I was really ho...

I’ve been talking a lot about not wanting people all up in me and my man’s space right after having the baby. I know having a new edition to the family is exciting but I don’t want people in the room while I’m giving birth or after until we are ready to have visitors but every time I bring it up someone thinks they’...

My husband and I are separated but we both want our child to have siblings. ( even if they are from other parents) I struggle with loving anything or someone just as much as I...

I don't trust anyone when it comes to who I want around my child. Rapists, abusers, bullies, sexual perverts, murderers, racists, schools, daycares, the list goes on. Can't even happily expose my child to other children anymore, because who knows what kind of a home they're coming from. There was a group of children...
