Does anybody else have struggles with their kids/stepkids because of Fortnite?! I wish I said no when my stepson asked if he could try playing Fortnite on his Nintendo (he’s 13 coming up) I wanted him to enjoy something to do in the evening after school but I’m regretting it now as he has become so addicted to the p...

my sil (brothers wife) removed me from every social media platform. she kinda has an attitude. i never got that friendly vibe from her. i have always felt jealous and insecure vibes. clearly she’s been going through some career related issues and my brother as well. and when she was added in all my social media acco...

My daughter will be 1yrs old Feb. 17th… I have no idea what to do for her birthday…please give me some suggestions or ideas.

My son is really good at learning and remembering things. Amazing at counting, ABC and shapes. How are we teaching colours? I feel like he is confused when I say colours, e.g. he knows an apple is an apple but when i say ‘ red apple’ he looks at me like, no it’s just an apple 😂 just one example but how are we…

How is everyone’s baby getting in with solids? My 6m old loves food and is doing so well but omg it’s wreaking havoc on his digestive system. He is pooing multiple times a day and now in the night. The night poop wakes him up and he doesn’t go back down for 2 hours 😭 Please tell me it gets better? I’m dreading…

Has anyone else managed to capture your baby's reaction to a food they're unsure about? Would love to see them. This was Bronte's reaction to a falafel and hummus baby food. 🤣 Bit too adventurous for now, I think!

My man does this a lot…he enjoys back rubs etc but I swear he asks like as I’m trying to fall asleep like legit will ask AFTER I lay down on my stomach and get comfortable. I would hope he knows I’m exhausted because I try to get up as much as I can to pump or if not then I’m feeding the baby getting up for work etc...

My lo is born towards end of dec and he’s now refusing to eat meals!!! Yesterday he had scrambled eggs, 2 waffles and 2 rice wafers all day! Today he refused weetabix and had 2 spoons..I know there’s a stage where they refuse foods so can I have ideas that other mums gone thru that works for them in terms of getting...

I’m terrified at the thought of having to put my daughter in daycare. We’ve been soooo lucky up to this point to be able to juggle our schedules between me, hubby, and my mom so that someone is always available to watch LO. But tonight at work I found out I could possible be getting a promotion. The downside is that...

My oldest earthbound is 3 years old and is opening doors so I had bought those caps that go over door knobs and he takes them off like they're nothing. He looked me dead in the eyes as he ripped it off and threw it on the floor and walked out of his room. I don't know what else to do because every night he leaves hi...

Visiting family for Thanksgiving with my 5 month old. Flying with Southwest this Saturday on a non-stop 3 hour flight. Any helpful tips? Can I bring her car seat & stroller? The car seat snaps into the stroller.

My bf will not watch our toddler while I’m cooking and won’t cook if I’m watching her. I’m getting rlly annoyed bc she keeps getting into things (she’s very smart and will climb anything she can). Yesterday she poured syrup all over my work desk I had to buy a new keyboard and clean my entire desk off. And when I as...

I saw a post on Youtube- Reels. It says 'let your kids believe in Santa Claus, you once believed in your Baby Daddy' And I thought 💭 Yea I did. But No Cuz I want my son to always tell me the truth. And I want our mom and son relationship be an honest one. How can I expect Him to be honest with me - if I…

My baby hates ‘I love you to the moon and back’ we can’t make it to the end without her getting disinterested 😂 she likes the Winnie the Pooh peekaboo book but should I really be encouraging a play book at bedtime??!?!?!!!!

No judgement here, would you let your 3 year old eat a McDonald’s happy meal? My son has been invited to a birthday party where they will go to McDonald’s after and it’s not something I feel comfortable with him eating with such high salt content. I don’t want to upset the mum, so what reason can I give that he won...

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...

So I asked my son a few minutes ago to shut the kitchen light off. It’s his responsibility when he’s done eating supper. He usually doesn’t do it which doesn’t truly bother me until today. He’s had an attitude all day and went stomping upstairs cause I asked him to stop scraping his fork on his dad’s water bottle wh...

I hate to admit this because it’s that one thing I struggle with so bad, but I am not good with finding meal ideas and buying groceries🙃 it’s just me and my son at nights because my husband works so i find it hard to find a meal for basically a person and a half. I would love grocery suggestions, especially if…

So I went out to an event with my sister no drinking nothing just went somewhere for a couple hrs to get out the house without the kids and my husband is getting mad at me that I went out. I haven’t been out the house by myself without them since before I gave birth and he talking about priorities that I should go o...
