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...

What is everyone feeding their babies? I feel like I'm stuck i a routine i want her to try more things?

Has anyone fed their baby pablum before giving them real food? My mother in law keeps trying to push it on my and it’s just my personal preference I don’t want to give him pablum. Anddd she keeps trying to push me to fed him when he’ll be 6 months on Saturday. Very annoyed right now 😕 I just wanna do it at my…

I’m pretty sure my boyfriend has an addiction to 1v1 chat sites. He jacks off to them. I find it so repulsive. I’m pregnant with baby #2 and I’m pretty much at my wits end. He lies and says he just watches porn which I don’t care if he watches porn. He is paying for these sites. Just the other day he paid 3.00$. Idk...

I’m a full time working mom while my man is home caring for our daughter. I am barely getting by on my own tending to bills and feeding a house of 4. He wants to go back to work but we work in the same company and with the schedule they want to give us both our shifts will overlap leaving no one at home with the bab...

So my bd wants a visit with baby and I only feel comfortable with it being supervised. The only person in his fam that isn't completely nuts is who I pick. Well she blocked his number. And I'm not letting him in my house he's crazy. Can't do his home because no one would be there and his home is cigarettes and dog p...

My little one is 13 and a half months and has been attending nursery two days a week (Thursday and Friday) since September. He is still very unsettled at drop off and throughout the day he will cry unless he's being held. He has had a lot of time off (probably every other week) because he keeps getting very sick e...

I've been with my partner for five years and we have a 4 year old daughter. Our relationship has been very up and down for a long time. He overcame a gambling addiction but still lies to me about his finances which I find very triggering. He runs his own business and works away frequently and we have little in the w...

My husband said he was gonna bring his lap top to work from home bc he has too much work to catch up on. When he got home he didn’t get on his laptop bc he said he can’t get any work here at home bc baby. Then I said to him “ u see how I feel? How do u expect me to work from home and care for baby?” Bc he said I s...

Do you get money from your hubby on a weekly/biweekly/monthly from your hubby? Money that he gives you just to give you? How much does he if so? I was thinking of asking my partner for $20 a week. So $80 a month. I do all housework but he pays all bills. I do all the kids stuff, his stuff, and my stuff. Laundry dish...

So me and my partner looked after our daughter for almost 2years. We always managed to work without needing childcare. We did however put her into nursery for two half days a week in September and she was fine for the first few times, but then they would have to rip her out of my arms screaming i was heart broken. S...

Hi everyone, I am writing here with some hope, thst others have been in this situation and I'm not the only one.. I really hope I'm not going to be judged, that is the last thing what I don't want to face.. I have a one month old, amazing girl baby, but unfortunately since birth we are facing just hard times with...

Hello, wondering if anyone else is going through the same as us right now. My little boy is 2yrs 8 months and is SO shy!! He bounces off the walls and is so happy and chatty at home and with close family. But as soon as we go somewhere he is so shy and hides behind me and doesn’t talk to anyone or get involved with ...

Anyone else finding it hard to balance life with your little one and step kids? My partner has 2 girls with 2 other mums and we have 1 girl together. His other 2 girls are older (10 & 13) and he used to have them both every weekend but as they’re getting older, he’s letting them make the decision on whether they co...

My little one will be nearly 17 months old at Christmas, and I have no idea what to get her, and everyone else wants ideas too! Any ideas about what to get for her age? She already has so many toys we don't particularly need anymore, so more ideas of other things to get her. Thank you!
