We was in my local town when I let my son walk (partner was with me) he’s 20m old and is a super confident walker and usually is a diamond. Well today we was doing a bit of Xmas shopping and he was stood near us watching Cory while we looked. Next minute you know some old man was shouting “he’s out the shop!” I leg...

My son has a horrible cold and is spitting out any food that isn’t yoghurt 🫥 has anyone been through this? Did you find another way to top up their food intake?

My baby is having a pretty bad teething day. He’s off his feeds and just chomping on my nipple. Has anyone experienced this?

I had made it all this long without my baby falling off my bed until this morning 😭 I bring him into my bed in the mornings for a little snooze and cuddles and he always intertwined with me, but this morning I woke up to him falling off my bed and I feel SO guilty. I do have a big thick rug on the floor which he…

I am so ashamed to post this it’s why I have posted as incognito but I need all your advices because I feel guilty every morning doing this to my baby. I feel really guilty at the fact that I always give my baby mashed up food because I am SO petrified of him chocking on food that’s just been cut up in small pieces ...

It's the same on both sides. My husband says he can't see anything but I can. Am I being crazy or does he need an eye test?

What are your little ones eating and drinking in an average day? 🥰

I need a new vacuum cleaner. Mainly to be used on tiles. I want to buy it in black friday. Help me out! We don't have a huge flat - about 70m2, mainly tiles. I want it to be good with getting dust off the tiles and perform well on hard surfaces. Don't need lots of bells and whistles just do the vacuuming well...

He's in the bigger room now where child to adult ratios are bigger but my keyworker seems to hide herself away at the back of the nursery when it's time for drop off or collection. My friend's little girl also has the same person and has reported the same thing. We should still expect communication on a day to day b...

My husband is recently diagnosed though I suspected it a few years ago. It answered a lot of questions and he feels relieved but upset at the same time. He didn't quite understand his actions and lost a lot of friends, jobs, and things in his life. I'm happy for him, I just need help to not be a nag. I was the on...

i’m wondering wtf is going on. my man falls asleep with his phone open in his hands/his chest quite often. so far it’s been 4 times now i’ve came to bed and took his phone off his chest/out his hands and he fell asleep with fb open and his search pulled up. each time the ex gf of his deceased best friend is at the t...

How would you go shopping with newborn and 12 month old? I can’t imagine how to do it alone with 2 kids in the car. The 12 month old can go in the trolley, but what about the newborn? I can’t always take someone with me or leave one child at home. How to do this? Also is it ok to leave the kids in the car whilst get...

My husband and I have an 18 month old together, in May I confirmed that he had been cheating on me a few months previous to that and I was absolutely broken and devastated because I really never saw it coming. He promised it would never happen again and we cried together and he really made me feel like that was true...

Is anybody in the trenches with a 12yr old daughter, she was an absolute dream up until she started High school in September, we had a huge row last night and she packed her stuff and left, she came back in the end but keeps telling me she doesn't want to be here in this home anymore, she has everything she could ne...

The two days working from home are becoming a struggle the older he's getting. Mostly because I work during his awake hours so he's slumped over a tablet and phone as I don't have much time to spend with him Struggling as to how to go forward, if I cut my hours I'll lose pay and financially we cannot right now but a...

My LO goes to bed at 7, he wakes up EVERY NIGHT and stays awake for up to 5 hours full of energy. He stands up. Climbs , screams (excitedly) and I’m generally just getting to the point of exhaustion. I don’t know how long I can keep doing this. For example, he went to bed at 7 last night, woke up at midnight, was aw...

I think my husband is only kind and friendly to me when we have sex. He works 4 nights on and 4 nights off. He wouldn’t talk to me or be friendly until the day his shift ends and then at night he would want to. I mostly feel angry about this and if I say no that night, that will bring on hostile treatment until I gi...

Hey mums! Ever since I had my second child (2 under 2) I’ve found that I’m loosing track of time and constantly forgetting things. Does anyone use a planner as a mum and does it actually work? If so, how do you find the time to fill it in? Any recommendations of good ones would be welcomed :)

even worse now the weathers cold and we're stuck in the house, it's not even 8am and pulling my hair out 🥹help a mama out xxx

So long story short, my mil is manipulative and controlling. She wants to control our lives and has done everything since our daughter was born almost 4 years ago. To say a few things, she would call hospital behind my back questioning my daughter’s care - not her place!!!! She would turn up at our window uninvited ...
