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...

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 LO is 21 months, and I started her in nursery as I thought it would be good for her. She has developmental delay, and it's been suggested she may need an autism assessment as she only recently started walking and still unsteady on her feet. She has no understanding not even who Mom and Dad are or what anything is...

I'm in. Long distance relationship. My boyfriend of 6 months is coming down for the weekend. Unfortnately I have the flu. He still wants to come up and visit me. We had booked tickets to go cinema on Saturday, I told him I'm still really unwell I won't be able to go cinema. He said no problem he will let me know i...

Baby is interested in absolutely anything that is NOT a toy 😂 I need ideas on safe things that she can play with (6 months old) that isn't specifically a toy. We've just moved so the place is upside down so I need an hour or so a day that I can get her to play alone whilst I sort things in the same room.…

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...

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...

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...

Ik she means no harm by it but we’re staying w/ my in laws for the holidays and my MIL keeps saying “oh the baby needs this” “its gas” “he wants this” “i know what he wants” and its driving me nuts bc she is usually wrong and I already know what it is/what he wants 🙃 Ik she means no harm and im just venting but ugh…

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
