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...

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...

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 ...

My little boy is currently cutting molars and his poo has been horrific. He’s also got such a bad nappy rash from it bless him. Everywhere I look online says teething poos aren’t a thing!

My husband was on the road for 5 days the whole time he was gone we were talking/facetiming and I was really missing him but since my husband doesn’t really say I love you I miss you and any form of affection with me over the years I taught him what I want told him what I need made him give me kisses before he leave...
