Toddler & Child

My partner and I have been arguing a lot recently. About a few things: • Household chores • Me not giving him enough affection My LO is 11 weeks old and I’m trying my best to stay on top of household chores, but I hate them. I’ve never liked cleaning but I try to keep the house as tidy as possible. My partner kee...

So my partner decided he couldn’t stop himself from drinking for yet another weekend - I resulted in kicking him out my house and he decided the appropriate response to this was to kick my front door down. He’s now in police custody for criminal damage. I don’t want sympathy just to offload on private mode I guess...

My baby is just over 3 weeks now and I’m ashamed to say he’s only been out in his pram 3 times and only one of them was to actually go and sit somewhere. I used to be a massive walker taking my dog on 2-3 walks a day and all I want to do is leave the house but I just can’t find the time. He’s a MASSIVE cluster feede...

I think my mother in law will give a whole bunch of other mother in laws a run for their money boy oh boy that woman is delusional 😂

I have a 2.5 yo son with a guy that didn't want anymore kids. There's a 9 year age difference between us, and he has 2 other kids who are 14 and 24. We've been trying to make it work since our son was born, but it seems like every time I think we're good, something happens. He's been going in and out of town to wor...

Is there any tips or tricks to get your newborn to pee before taking off his diaper? A lot of the time we’ll go through two at a time because he waits until we take the dirty one off and are about to start putting the fresh one on and then he pees all over that one 🤣 We have tried the wet wipe below his belly…

Sorry, this is a bit of a rant, I’m just feeling alone in this situation and am starting to feel I’m wrong and just wanted to get others input. I’m really struggling mentally at the moment as my Mum and Sister are being, in my eyes, really unreasonable. I’ve got to have a C-section due to a medical condition, (n...

Does anyone resent their husband since having children!? I just feel my husband has it so easy in comparison with other dads but takes it for granted and still doesn’t use his initiative to help out where I need him. It’s making me resent him and tired of constantly asking him to do things. We have a toddler and...

I understand the premise that we offer baby variety and they decide what and how much to eat, but for the past few days baby is only having sweet things, like yoghurt, fruits etc (he’s 10mo) If I try to offer him a plate with veg and meat, rice, pasta etc, he won’t touch it anymore, all to the floor. I can try to o...

So my partner works one shift a week and won’t look for a job that offers more just expects me to pay for everything for him and lately every time I ask him a question he bites my head off, I asked him about the baby feeds time last night as he is on night shifts turns out he didn’t feed baby because he was asleep b...

MIL is retired, lives 5 minutes away, sees my husband & other kids every day. She hasn’t called or texted me or come over since December. She didn’t say happy birthday or give me a card, hasn’t asked me how I’m doing since I had my C-section, or if I needed help, or how baby was doing when he was hospitalized or bee...

Heya! My husband and I have been together for 11 years, we’ve had 3 kids in 3.5 years and the spark is non existent. We are room mates at this point. We barely have sex maybe once a fortnight? And it’s usually because he’s complained so much that I’ve given in. I’ve always been interested in women, and the older I...

My little girl is nearly 9months old, she’s still learning to wean and only recently it’s started to become a bit successful as she’s now sitting up on her own. We have her in a highchair in the morning and afternoon. Usually in the morning we were giving her rusk mixed in with her formula on a spoon and she was en...

I’m 6 weeks 2 days, since finding out I’m pregnant I seem to be having huge doubts about my partner, he is a chef so he’s out working 60/70 per week I hardly ever see him, we have been together for 5 years… he gets home at 11pm every evening and sits and drinks at least 4 cans of beer and doesn’t come up to bed unti...

Just wondering if anyone has skipped solids on days when you’re out and about? So far I’ve moved around the timing of the solids to better work with the schedule but haven’t skipped any yet. My LO is 7.5 months and we do 3 sessions of solids a day (only one “full” meal before his first nap and smaller ones later) an...

This is more an offload of how sad I feel about a lack of help from my parents. They live 15 mins away and I’m a FTM. My sister also lives 10mins from me, and has two kids. When my sister had her babies my mum moved in to help - she covered night shifts and helped round the house. When my mum went back home both she...
