My little one still has a preference for me. Many times I love this but it's also quite draining when I give him to dad and he starts screaming. My partner then doesn't want to spend time with my little one cos he thinks he will always cry. Any advice or tips please? I need some me time

I hate coming on here to vent when I know others have it a lot worse, but don’t you just feel let down sometimes when you ask the BD to do something so simple and quick but is either too tired, just got home from work, petty excuses. I’m waiting for my residency in Australia so I’m unable to apply for ccs and mater...

So my daughter has a friend over. Instead of her playing with my daughter she's on her phone playing with another friend...its really upsetting me. My daughter is so nice and it's bothering her but she want say anything. What would you do?

I always feel like my partner is out cheating because why when you’re with your “guy friend” you rarely answer the phone. I’ve been calling for over an hour. Got a text saying I’ll call you back in a sec over an hour ago and still haven’t received a call back and still hasn’t been picking up my calls. I text him and...

My husband provides what we need. I don’t have to work if I don’t want to. I tutor occasionally just to have some money to save a little and spend on things I like that he doesn’t necessarily consider an immediate need. I feel my emotional needs aren’t being met and he then has an issue when I’m unable to meet his...

I see so many posts about people saying their mans is cheating on them, they did and now they don’t know how to trust them, they cheated in the past and they’re worried it’ll happen again. Jesus Christ just leave him! You piss me off. “My man has a history of cheating but he promised he wouldn’t do it again. But now...

Hey all you lovely people! I'm 40 weeks exactly today. My mum is over from abroad and she has no house here or anything due to living abroad. I said a month or so ago that if she visited, she would need to stay in a hotel or Airbnb etc as I just wanted my privacy at this time before imminent birth of baby and didn...

My LB has come out of nursery today saying this. He’s never used this term before and things like this are not said around him as far as we are aware. I do know the nursery are having some staffing issues and there was a girl from another room in his room today. My hubby said he saw in the window as she was collec...

This sounds so stupid and tiny but im at the point where i dont know if im the problem now or what. So this morning I asked my boyfriend about the show he was watching and every question I asked he answer very snarky for example I asked if the guy died and he just had a tone and went obviously. I then said I wanna w...

When did you realize it was time to let go? I've stayed with my bf for 5 years on and off. My main reason for going back each time is our son. Recently I've poured my emotions out to him and felt unheard. I was literally sobbing and he wanted to have sex justifying it by saying "this is the only way I know how to sh...

I know it’s over a month away but ….. it’s my first Mother’s Day EVER, and my husband is going to spend it with his mum and siblings 2.5 hours away 😢 I feel just a bit upset that there’s no thought or consideration for me. I have to spend the entire weekend solo parenting and wake up on my own with my baby for…

Plus I have trust issues wi...

What do you do when your relationship with your partner has reached its breaking point, there is heartbreak and pain involved but also happiness and love, my partner and I have been thru a whole lot together but he feels emotionally and spiritually checked out and it breaks my heart to hear him say I am just a mean ...

This is more aimed for those who have already had a baby, but if any advice is welcome! My mum is PUSHING for my sister to be in the delivery room with me and my partner. My sister has 3 children, so I understand she knows what’s happening etc and can help (I’m FTM). But my sister has maybe messaged me twice this w...

I’m not sure if "frustrated" is the right word, but here's the situation I’m facing: I make a conscious effort to take my toddler and baby out regularly, ensuring we do enjoyable activities like going to parks, playgrounds, the library, playgroups, soft play, and more, while also balancing time at home to read and ...

Hi ladies. I’m in need of some advice. I can’t seem to let go of checking my husbands ex’s social medias. It started because back when we were dating, he had cheated on me multiple times with her, even after we had our first baby. We dated for 8years and we’ve been married for 2.5 years now and when we got married t...

Am I wrong in expecting my husband to prioritise our baby and I as his family? His family have been non existent with our baby we’ve seen his sisters twice (our baby was born in October). His mum we’ve seen twice etc etc. I said to him how I’m excited to do his first Father’s Day, we then got on the conversation ...

I live in a multicultural area with people from all backgrounds, which you can see also from the variety of races at the playground. Without mentioning my own race nor the other race, it occurred to me that I never got any issues with other races except from one, which seems to be often approaching me/my children ...

So I'm a single mum to a 3 year old boy. We do everything together, go everywhere together. I work 4 days a week and he's in preschool on those days. Today I dropped him off at preschool but instead of heading to work I came home because I've booked the day off. I quickly rushed round to sort some washing but other ...
