Last night I wanted to order take out for dinner. My husband is the picky eater so I ask him everytime what he wants. Majority of the time, it's "idk" or "Whatever you want" but then he won't like what I suggest. This can go on for hours until I just pick something that he may or may not like. He will complain if it...

My partner of 5 years is addicted to Porn to quite a concerning level. I’ve always allowed him to get on with it but he puts it before everything and I mean everything, he never does housework, never helps out with tidying after himself, never helps looking after our child or our dog, stays up until 2am just masturb...

I work 4 days a week. My husband doesn’t start work until 2:30pm which means she is his responsibility until then, and then she’s in child minding until 6:30pm ish. Our daughter has always been a picky eater but somehow when she’s with me she eats somewhat well, I will have my way of getting her to eat however the d...

How long did it take for your LO to settle into nursery. My LO officially started in April and does Monday and Friday. Hes still struggling with settling in (probably doesnt help that weve had bank holidays falling on nursery days aswell).

Hi Mumma's, I have a 2 years old toddler who goes to childcare and a 2.5 month old infant. How do you guys protect the infant from not getting any infection that the toddler gets from childcare? My toddler has a runny nose and I feel it's unfair to constantly tell my older child to not get close to his younger b...

My LB is 9.5 months old now. For the past month, in order to fall asleep or soothe himself, he licks his hands. It works great for him. He also tries licking people, which is obviously a no-no, although we let him do it to us (mom & dad) sometimes. We are currently visiting my MIL. Generally she's a lovely lady, re...

What happens when you pick your LO up from nursery. My son turned 3 in March and has been going to a school nursery for 2 weeks now. And I honestly thought there'd be more information at pickup time. All the parents stand in a que and the teacher calls your child when they see you and that's it. Nothing about their ...

My husband always compromises/sacrifices to the point where he’s a pushover . Will agree to anything to keep the peace even if it means we miss out on our scheduled time with his daughter . There’s always an argument or something being negotiated but he doesn’t see it . Currently or the most recent issue if money . ...
