Parenting

Okay so my step dad has no filter and he often at times doesn’t get he’s not funny My child was playing at the Christmas tree at his house and I told her no messing with presents well she did and he joking but no filter raised his voice and said “AH GET”He was playing he would never actually yell at her but my dau...

So I broke up with my daughter’s dad back in July, he didn’t see her for the first 3 months (I asked him for a long time to please come see her, but he refused so I stopped). She’s now 2 and goes to her dad’s Monday and Wednesday from 11-5, and every time she comes home she is so grumpy and acts so different. I know...

So sad me and my partner are breaking up. We have 2 beautiful children a 3 year old and a 6 week old. The decision wasn’t made lightly!!!! The situation is I don’t drive, I live 1hr 30mins from all of my family… Do I move closer to my family for the support and help with a newborn and toddler? Or do I stay here ...

So we’re going up to my partners mums after Christmas who has only met my son once who’ll be 5 1/2 months old by this point. My partner wants to go and see his friends band play which I have no issue with and he wants his mum to watch our son which I’m not exactly comfortable with but as a compromise I’ve said maybe...

I dont work often, but I did today. I only got to see my man in passing this morning, then I was off to work and took the kid with me. He had to go to work after the fact, and apologized I would have no breaks today and ensured he would be home early and bring dinner. I fell asleep on the couch, and woke up to a cal...

I just got engaged and find out tonight my fiancee little brother is engaged, is something wrong with this picture or is it just me? 2.) His little brother is wanting to get married next year around my due date(pregnant) so does this sound petty or disrespectful towards his big brother and our relationship to ask ...

I’ve tried talking to some of my in-laws and friends about how my toddler can be a bit difficult and basically just asking if they’ve had a similar situation and how they handled it…. Their solution is to just throw them in daycare or to get signed up for preschool asap. That just doesn’t sit well with me because ...

I physically and mentally cannot live with my husbands grandparents anymore. They drive me fucking insane. His grandmother is constantly telling me how to parent and giving me the most OBVIOUS advice. “You should put a jacket on him. it’s cold” well no shit. it’s 30° outside, why would I not put him in something??? ...

Don’t get me wrong I love and give credit to my man for providing and being an awesome dad, that being said. I used to work full time, we can trade and I’ll go back to work 40 hours a week but he would never do that. Let’s be real.

My husband has been working on our renovation project most weekends while I'm left to care for the baby. We have no village locally. I am showing signs for heightened stress, and would like to know how everyone else balances childcare responsibilities with their partner, when they get time off, etc.

I just feel like I can never catch up on all the house work. I can’t remember the last time I mopped my floors. But I do take care of my son. He’s always well dressed, bathed, fed, I play with him, take him outside and try to teach him things throughout the day. I do laundry, I try to make sure dinner is made for my...

I feel like the amount I spend holds no weight, like I’d come back home and realise I spent more than what I actually bought. Definitely feeling the cost of living and as much as I budget things and do without things I still come up short 😭😖 How much is your weekly shop?

Hi ladies.... I'll try to keep it short so long story short I'm fed up with my bd he's very manipulative (I try to break up he says he wants to pass away ) he's a liar he's a cheater etc I've been with him for the past nine yrs and we have two kids our oldest told his dad I don't like you he said it to me I don't l...

My little girl is going to nursery 2 days a week in January. We financially don’t necessarily NEED to put her in but me going back to work full time will still benefit us money wise and I also will be working from home on one of the days she is in nursery so I will be able to have a bit of a break and can actually c...

I do and always have had trouble with time management. Anyone over come this and how?

I don't know about anyone else, but being a first-time mum is so hard. I just don't know what to expect, and every little thing stresses me out. I've become obsessed with how much she feeds, and I believe it's because of how we were treated with the midwives when she was first born. LG doesn't consistently drink t...
