Parenting

Please be kind. I’m struggling with my daughter’s toys. Can I get some advice? These are all the toys she has (minus a few in the hallway but they are bigger electronic ones both my kids love). The toys in the basket closest to me are all baby toys they aren’t really touched anymore. The basket close to my todd...

So for the past month or so I’d completely lost myself, nothing made me happy and I was really struggling with taking care of my son. However as of recent my partners mum had him and i decided to take that time to join the gym and it made me feel great. However I won’t be able to get into a routine of it because my ...

my son started nursery 6 weeks ago (he’s just turned 2) and has been finding drop off hard. this morning he was quite upset and didn’t want to go but managed to get him in the nursery room and the staff member took over(he was still crying). when i collected him at 1, i was called in the office and told that they’...

I have a 16 month old and 2 month old. From July I won’t be having any help and I will be alone with the kids at home while my husband goes to work. I’m not in favour of sending my children to daycare. I’m just wondering how to go about it with two kids all alone? - when you’re putting one to nap, the other one i...

You guys I AM STRESSED. Every weekday after I get off work/get home, complete shiit show. I usually get home from work/the gym around 5:30/6pm. Husband does kid pickup and watches them while I rush to shower quick, then rush to make myself dinner/lunch for the next day, we trade off making food for my toddler, the...

Im no contact with MIL and SIL’s, husband still talks/ sees them here and there. We’re due another baby soon and I’m wondering what to do with regards to them meeting it? I don’t want to see them or be away from my baby, however hubby wants them to meet it 😩

Hi everyone. I am due to return to work next week on Tuesday and I'm very nervous about this. I will be working part-time three days a week. My mother will be taking care of the baby for those three days alone while my husband and I are at work. We decided on this arrangement as nursery fees are too expensive for u...

So my 4yo and 7m are both always on the go and I haven’t slept a full night in over a year. I am at the end of my tether and keep feeling myself blow OTT at stuff or don’t have the capacity to play etc. headaches are so bad. Sleep deprivation is a killer. I want to go back to work p/t but what I earn would JUST cov...

Let's share!

Hi Ladies So long story short i used to help this old lady at the church by my house. She also runs a play group. Her granddaughter comes to the playgroup with her daughter also. When i last went to the playgroup i was speaking to the granddaughter about schools. I was asking what the one her daughter goes to is li...

Me and my child’s father split up 1 week after our son was born, I had to kick him out and end things, how do I stay strong or do I try for our family?

My in-laws are old school Africans who live by “you do whatever the elder says and you can’t question them”, we’re visiting my husband’s home country this summer, it’ll be mine & LO’s 1st time however I can only stay 1wk due to work commitments. I’ve shared this with both MIL & FIL as they were planning a party for ...

I’m just so angry right now. My boyfriend went through our savings on drinks with his friends, even though he knew how much I wanted to move into this cottage. We’ve been trying to save for two months, and every paycheck, he just blows it without a second thought about me or our baby. I’ve been the one buying every...

Hi Mummas! I’ve seen a few posts on here about how hard it has been in 3rd trimester and I completely resonate with those posts! I’m a second time Mum to be and I’ve really not enjoyed pregnancy this time round (I am absolutely grateful to be pregnant especially as I have two close friends who have struggled with fe...

I’ve gone back to work and I’m really struggling with the thought that everyone is getting to raise my child except for me. Even my husband gets more time with him as he works from home. I fear that my baby will enjoy spending time with his grandmothers more than me bc that’s who he’s with all week. He lights up whe...
