I know this sounds like a silly thing to worry about but my baby starts nursery soon and her nursery provides breakfast, so part of me is wondering whether to just skip her breakfast on the days she goes in to save time? Because I’ll be in such a rush and I’ll already have to wake up extremely early! But also wonder...

Okay so I’m currently a SAHM, my partner works but when he’s home he also has little responsibilities, some examples are he’s repsonsible for taking out the trash when the bin gets full as far as any household upkeep. Everything else I do. I cook and clean every single day. He does the dishes when I do bedtime routi...

I got a call from my sister in law while I was getting my little one ready to head out the door. My son was at recess, and another kid had him pinned against the fence repeatedly punching him in the stomach. My sister in law was freaking out and yelling out the window for this kid to stop. Screaming at the teachers ...

I was banging on the sofa with the man next door. My partner came home early and threw up on the floor. Who should clean up the mess

My bd had once cheated on me, messaging and meeting the woman. Of course my dumbass took him back because I thought it was best for the kids since he’s the main bread maker.. anyway I still feel some insecurity and resentment. Today he didn’t come straight home but went to the “park”. He comes inside and I’m being p...

I had the worst experience today during my daughter’s 1 year review. She’s on the 99th percentile and has been for a long time now (since she was about 5-6 months old). She is formula fed due to a traumatic birth, weaned at 6 months and there’s not been one food that she doesn’t like which is amazing and I’m so prou...

I just had my 5th baby I have 4 boys and a girl my family is perfect and complete a great husband a lovely home. We are tired, busy but soo happy and fulfilled. I think I may be addicted to having babies and being pregnant?! I loved all my pregnancies and just felt like such a special time. My youngest is 5 months a...

My mom moved recently to be close to me & my kids. I’m super grateful. Right now we see her maybe 2-3 times a week. Each visit is about 3 hours. We also spend special occasions together (holidays, fun community events, etc.). She’s expressed multiple times that she’s unhappy with how much we see her. And I’ve offere...

We are due to have our first baby on 15th July. My mum got engaged last week, and they are not wanting to hang about to get married. The dates they are proposing are in September, and the location 3hrs drive away from home. She’s currently in the middle of a 45 day cruise on a different time zone to us… but I fear ...

I’m a pretty low maintenance friend. My mental health pretty much keeps me at bay but I am trying to work on it💪 I don’t really have any hobbies or many interests just trying to stay alive every day for my babies so it all keeps me exhausted on the daily😅surely im not the only one tho and if I am, then that’s even…

What age do you plan on letting your kid have their own phone? I’m thinking high-school, like age 14 with parental controls until 16…

I wasn’t planning on to, and have never done it, but the teachers at my son’s school have mentioned it a few times, and I just wanted to know everyone’s take on this,

My 15 month old fell from top to bottom of the stairs earlier. I had the stairs blocked and both me and my mum were up there with her but in separate rooms. I looked away for maybe 10 seconds and could hear her in the bathroom banging on the toilet seat. Next thing I heard was her falling down the stairs after she’d...

In my 4th month of weaning my daughter, I started this journey when she was 6 months, she’s now 10 months. It’s been a really enjoyable experience so far she’s doing really well with different textures, colours, taste! She gets so happy about trying different foods, makes me happy seeing how much of a foodie she is!...

My partner never communicates with me, just comes home when he pleases. Most nights 6.30-7pm even though he finishes work at 4, but sometimes finishes a 2. Leaves me to look after both kids, even though I’m working aswell. We’ve spoke about it so many times and keeps saying he will help more but he doesn’t. Is out m...

How is everyone tackling the food throwing phase? Since my little girl has turned 1 all she does is throw every meal on the floor… I’m starting to get concerned that she isn’t eating enough. If I try and feed her myself she kicks off like crazy, she hates it… yet if I give her food so she can feed herself she takes ...

Anyone that has been through this?? Babies dad and I are splitting up. He demands we do 50/50 custody/visitation. I don’t want sole custody or whatever but since this baby has been born I am 100 percent with him more, care for him more, play with him more. Especially since he got in an accident before thanksgiving I...

My LO is eating 6 oz has anyone started feeding their babies rice ceral or purées

My boy just suddenly stopped eating solids a few days ago and it’s stressing me out! He got on a pretty good routine of having 3 meals a day and he has started either not opening his mouth at all when I try to feed him or storing it all in his mouth then spitting it out. I’ve tried feeding him with utensils and lett...
