I just found out my mortgage is 4 months behind as my partner hasn't been paying it. The dynamics are that I pay utilities while he pays the mortgage.i asked him where his money was spent (he's a top mechanic at work) and he stated it's because of too much food ordering. Even though I cook quite often. What should I...

My 17 month old has a chesty cough and sore throat. He is refusing to eat anything except cold yogurts. Anybody got any meal ideas?

I'm getting so stressed, I'm only on day 2 and my son just won't go on his potty when he needs a wee he's peed on the couch 4 times, in the kitchen and in the living room plenty of times. I've had to sit him on his potty for a period of time and when he pees I've made it very dramatic and said yay clever boy etc but...

Hello, looking for a bit of advice. A few weeks ago my LO was badly constipated but it improved after getting some medicine from the GP. However since then, she is having the most horrendous time going to the toilet, clearly holding it in and getting herself in such a state sometimes for an hour at a time because sh...

Broke up with my sons dad over 2 weeks ago. Ended on somewhat good terms. Now I will be cutting off my narcissistic father. Offered to “help” by giving me a place to stay then manipulating the situation to play the victim while I’m already at my lowest. My son deserves a healthy environment. I only made an effort to...

FTM here so no clue, my baby’s bottom teeth are coming through, one is cut (I can literally see the gum cut and tooth under) the other isn’t. Once the gum is cut is that the worst of it? Or does it carry on as the tooth grows? Hoping the other tooth will follow soon. Shes not been doing too bad overall but her sle...

Has anyone else experienced something similar? He wants to focus on himself to make his health better. He’s talking about his health night and day. I understand he has health anxiety and I have to keep reassuring him on top of looking after the children and working. And this is making me feel even more stressed....

We would love to go on a day out, but it's so cold now! Has anyone got any recommendations? We live in Redhill, Surrey, and we drive, so don't mind a little drive!

I’m doing a fabric advent calendar for my two year old as he isn’t allowed sweets or chocolate. Was thinking’s doing little toys and maybe little ginger bread man. Anyone got any ideas what to fill it with?

I feel like we are stuck in the same routine every day. Wake up, make breakfast, clean, cook, wash never-ending mountain of dishes, change nappies, and before I realise it's already nap time. She sleeps for about 2 hours, then wakes up, I cook and clean again for dinner. We don't really go out much, with the weather...

Does anybody else fill with anxiety at the thought of a visit from the in laws? They haven’t visited for 4 months and it’s been nothing but trouble with them. How can I deal with this?

What sort of things are you giving baby for lunch? We always give a hot meal at dinner time either puree or the same as what we eat. For lunch we usually give toast and try some fruit or carrot sticks but I’m looking for inspiration! Also he’s going to be going to grandparents while I’m back at work next month and...

Hello, does anyone know of a daycare or daycare in someone’s home that has a small class size for 0-3 year old range. Location: inside loop, sugarland or south of 59 (friendswood, west u etc) Thank you!

I’m really struggling with lunch/tea ideas. I use Ella’s kitchen pouches - purely because I’m lazy and 8/10 times I’m too exhausted to make ‘proper food’. I’m a single mum and I really want to get better at making ‘meals’ for my LG. I buy the stuff like veg etc give it 1 or 2 times and then I just revert back to pou...

I’m finding the 4pm - 7.30pm bit of the day is really dragging now that it’s cold and dark outside. I used to go for a walk with lg in the pram or go over to the park but can’t do that as much now. What are you all doing to keep your little one entertained before dinner and bed?

So my toddler is really bad with sleep and due to having absolutely no help whatsoever with childcare it’s been difficult to take him off the formula, so we’ve tried cows milk for about two weeks, and mixing cows milk with formula but he gets diarrhea, and now he’s eating has become really bad and he doesn’t even ea...

He has a disgusting habit of constantly being on his phone while driving. Not just texting & driving but literally watching football & constantly looking at his football fantasy shit. I keep talking to him about it & it's getting WORSE. He'll do it while me & OUR CHILD is in the car. I blew up & told him if he crash...

Mornings 9am she has her weatabix this is a must she won’t have anything else for breakfast Brunch around 12pm she will have a banana or yoghurt Naps at 1-3 After her nap 3:30 she has lu...

My little boy is 6.5 months and loves trying his food although he's not quite eating much yet but we're offering food consistently twice a day. Im out on Friday and would prefer not to take an ice pack but was wondering if I steam some veg the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight, can it be left in my b...
