Y'all already know we've been having some problems with our new apartment. Well this morning our heat went out. It's the end of November in Ohio, it's pretty cold. I have 2 under 2, the youngest being only 4mo. I called the office about it and an hour later the maintenance man showed up. He'd been here for a little ...

My lo is about halfway through kindergarten, just got her progress report home and she’s having a tough time recognizing upper and lowercase letters in random order. She’s great with her numbers, shapes, anything math related. Are there any tips or tricks anyone might have used to help their lo?

Do you get money from your hubby on a weekly/biweekly/monthly from your hubby? Money that he gives you just to give you? How much does he if so? I was thinking of asking my partner for $20 a week. So $80 a month. I do all housework but he pays all bills. I do all the kids stuff, his stuff, and my stuff. Laundry dish...

So I just found out that my baby dad may have another child on the way. We’re not together. Recently split up. Baby girls 11 months old. And I don’t know how to feel. I’m so shocked. But explains a lot as to what he was doing while I was doing everything majority of the time by myself. I’m highly embarrassed, never ...

I’m 5 days postpartum. I feel like such a bad mom. My 2 year old has been acting up for a while now but him not listening is frustrating me. How do you teach your older child without yelling or lashing out?

Hi everyone, I am writing here with some hope, thst others have been in this situation and I'm not the only one.. I really hope I'm not going to be judged, that is the last thing what I don't want to face.. I have a one month old, amazing girl baby, but unfortunately since birth we are facing just hard times with...

I have a 5 year old daughter who started kindergarten this year. She has always had some behavioral issues but recently it has been so bad at school with her. She has a lot of good days, but within the past week, she’s had 3 days where she’s had major outbursts. She’ll hide under the table, kick chairs, throw them &...

My daughter lost her tastebuds but I want take out/ordered in food what would be the best for our sickness?

BD got mad that our 1 year old son high fived a guy while we were out shopping and said I’m an irresponsible mum. Am I in the wrong? Thought it was a harmless interaction btw but because it was another black man similar age to him he said that I should keep my single mother antics away from our kid 🙄

A bit of a personal question.. we are just about to move into our first home, I’m not returning to work anytime soon. And my baby won’t be going to nursery until I do.., so no childcare fees. My partner brings home about £4.8k a month & after bills (including travel to work for him which is about £800 a month) we h...

For example, helping him get ready in the morning, or helping him when he does overtime, or helping him to organize or scheduling or anything to do with his job?

I asked my husband if he could clean the downstairs toilet. For context It’s a tiny downstairs toilet with a toilet and a small basin. His immediate response was “do I have to do it now”. And then “what exactly do you want me to do?”. I said no, not right now, and I just want you to give it a once over. This was a...

My LO has been showing this since a month ago. Is this normal since she's drooling more too??

Is anyone else’s baby just constantly crying or whinging? My LB is 5 months old and I love him more than anything in the world but it’s really starting to get to me. I feel like I’m doing everything I should be, but he never seems happy. If he is happy it’s great but it doesn’t last very long at all. I honestly hate...

I am 7 months pregnant and am supposed to be moving in with my boyfriend in the next day or so. He has not helped with any of the planning or packing and has left me to do everything (except pay) by myself. When I ask him to help pack he tells me “it’s not like it’s right around the corner and I’m doing stuff at ou...

My little one can’t be left alone happily without me putting YouTube nursery rhymes videos on the tele for her. For example when I’m making her breakfast, lunch, dinner, or when I have to go to the loo or do something else that means I’ll be out of the room for a few mins. I’m starting to feel guilty because her scr...

How do u expect me to work from home and care for baby?” Bc he said I s...

I know no one’s licensed so I’m not expecting a diagnosis but just to vent and get some input for anyone willing to listen. I have been diagnosed with depression a few times in the past and taken prescription but I guess I’m confused now because it’s not like anything I’ve experienced in the past. I often find mysel...
