My boyfriend thinks I’m being ridiculous, what’s your personal opinion… the doctor said to limit outings and the amount of people who touch and hold the baby. She is only two weeks old today and I’m basically staying inside or at least not going out unless absolutely necessary like the grocery store or doctors. I do...

Does anyone in the stoke area now if any baby sensory class I can take my baby to? He’s 6 weeks now and I’d love to take him to some classes not just for him but I need some mum friends. I’m in the Fenton area and don’t drive so something as local as possible maybe xx

Is nursing school worth it or should I find another healthcare program?

Just want opinions as a ftm. I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable. Brief background... My partner & I have been together 15 years. He has a 20 yo daughter to previous relationship & we welcomed our little girl in May. Over the years both my parents have been seriously ill & I lost my dad 5 years ago & I'm now ...

My fiancé lost a job two yrs ago in March. Yea so that’s 2yrs 7months (crazy to say, first time I’ve counted😪) Anyway, he got unemployment for a while like 6mos maybe? Can’t remember.. but everything we have in this world (myself, my children & he by extension) is bc of my doing my due diligence. He recently…

Hey guys, I had my little one back in June, he was 10 days overdue and all I can think about is how angry and upset I am with how it went. My partner panics over the slightest things he’d read and we’d been to antenatal classes so we knew kind of when we’d need to go hospital, I started getting pains and instantly ...

Does anyone have any advice for what to do if your toddler is sitting on the potty at school and he actually pees but when he gets home, he refuses to even sit on the potty and just wets himself instead. And afterward says 'diaper' to me. I feel like we are digressing at home and negating the success that daycare i...

What are you all getting your almost 2 year olds for Christmas?? Needing some inspiration. She has so many toys already but I still want her to have something to open.

how do I feed my almost 2 yr old so that he’ll frickin eat and I don’t potentially traumatize him and alter his relationship w food🤦🏽‍♀️

The disrespect is getting worse and I need to do something about it. This is long but I need advice We both work full time, but I’m expected to do everything with the kids and housework by myself. I’m never allowed to question it because he says ‘we are not the same’. All week I get myself ready for work, get ki...

When going to a restaurant do you give your baby restaurant food? For context, I’m going out for lunch with a friend this week and my baby isn’t really a massive fan of pouches. Where I’m going there is a kids menu but I’m assuming it’s aimed more at bigger kids so would contain some salt? There’s some things on t...

Lately I’ve been feeling like I don’t engage with my baby as much as I see other moms do. I mean I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always with him but for example lately he’s been going to bed around 4:30 which is super early I know. That’s another issue lol but for the last month I’ve been noticing that I could absolut...

How is nurseries and childminder spaces looking in Swindon? How far in advance are we needing to book something? Thanks ❤️

When you have a bad husband is a toxic person, he can manipulate any situation if he has a narcissist personality I have such type of a husband, who used my daughter against me only because of this disgusting person, my daughter slapped me in front of the driver and the reason was. I asked the driver. Why did you ...

I’m having a bit of a crisis. We moved in with my in laws about 6mo ago with the plan to stay 6mo to a year. Our goal was to save money to buy a house close to them in the same town. They live in a smaller town. Not a lot to do, fairly conservative, religious. For context our pediatrician has God/Jesus signs all ove...

I know that it’s wrong to compare our kids with others but sometimes I can’t help it… after talking with other mum friends who have kids with the same age, I think that my son is not doing what he should be doing? He still doesn’t brush his teeth on his own, needs help showering and some other little things that I w...

I know I probably sound like an awful mother but how do you cope. I’m a single mum and I’m really struggling to cope with my little boys behaviour. He is one and no matter how much I childproof my rooms he seems to always get upto no good. I can barely even go to the toilet withought him ruining things. He’s 1 and a...

Has anyone found life easier after splitting with their husband? I don’t know if it sounds naive of me but I do love my husband but I think it would be easier if we split up. It’s like having another child as he doesn’t do anything around the house (he does do a lot with the kids though). I just feel like if we spli...

Anyone going back to school now with a newborn? Is it possible? Or should I wait ? I know it is tough! I am already so busy!
