We broke up because I had postnatal depression and I was quiet horrible to him during that time. So we broke up and now it’s been 2 months of him being so cold not wanting to even talk to me about anything other than what time he picks our daughter up on the weekend. I’m struggling with letting him go and wanting...

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out because I’m feeling really stuck and frustrated. I have a 1-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son. My son is currently behind developmentally—he’s not using utensils, still mostly eating puréed foods, still using a bottle, and isn’t meeting some other milestones. He’s in early interven...

My son is turning 4 on Tuesday. My husband and I decided to not do a birthday party for him this year because of the headache it all comes with plus it’s not like he’s in daycare or school making friends. 🤷🏽‍♀️ We are taking him out to celebrate HIS day on Tuesday! Well we told my MIL and I could tell she wasn’t…

My partner went round to his mates house last night just to chill, he said he wouldn't be late. I thought it was strange that he didn't tell me he arrived there safely and I didn't hear from him for hours. I decided to call him just to check he was okay as I'd messaged him a couple of times to just make sure he w...

Have you ever tried to be candid with your partner about your ppd and just how you feel like you can't do it and it's just always met with that's bad but we will talk about it another day. It's been like this for the last 4 months while I'm out on leave. Like he's amazing and helps all he can but I legit just can't ...

I found out my partner cheated on me and we “broke up” when our child was only a few months old. We’ve since gotten back together and whilst I have so much resentment towards him I just feel so relieved we’re back together as a family. As much as I love being a mother it was probably more overwhelming than I anticip...

So I have a friend whose little one is 8 years old, my LB is only 8 months so obviously there’s a big age gap. I feel so awful saying this but her LO is quite badly behaved… he shouts at his mum, runs off when walking, throws my pillows off the bed when they comes to my house, runs off in stores, demands things suc...

Yesterday I took my 2yo son to a toddler class, we've been going to this class for years now. But Yesterday he just didn't want to join in at all Kept sitting at the side, jumping on the seats and wanting to cuddle in with me. I tried encouraging him to join in but when he did he would just drop to the floor and g...

I spent the whole day with my 3 month old by myself. First husband went to work gym etc spent half the day out. Then came home showered was home for 1.5 hours max and went to go watch the stupid fight with his friends. His ONLY FUCKING job when he got home was to dream feed her so she would sleep thru the night dumb...

My husband took a 11 day trip, went to South America with his best friend. Meanwhile, I’m at home with a 19 month old, doing all the childcare on my own. When he got back from his trip, he didn’t seem appreciative of the work. We were also preparing to move, so I was making appts to fix things in the house, talki...

Has anyone got any tips please? To help my mind 🫣. I’m so anxious about the thought of going back to work, leaving my baby. He’ll be with two sets of grandparents two days, then nursery the other two. I know he’ll be fine. But it’s just the thought of not being with him. I’m really anxious. 😟 xx

My partner has regularly gone out spontaneously on the weekends since the baby has been born (now 10.5 months old) recently I asked if he could pre plan nights out instead so I also get the chance to go out and plan things with friends as I haven’t been out with just my friends since he was born. He had planned a...

Hello mommas! So, I’m in a predicament where I may have to rely on my MIL to watch our son for a couple days during the holidays since his school is closed but she has a brief history of going through our belongings while babysitting which has led to me no longer asking her to watch our son without us being home. Bu...

My fiance grew up being good friends with this guy and he has a fiancee that I became friends with. Me and her got really close and she made me feel like we were pretty good friends. We haven't hung out in a really long time and she started ditching me or taking advantage of me. For example, she wanted me to make so...

So, my MIL told us during her visit last month that she wasn't coming for a Christmas visit. She left gifts for the kids in my closet. Since then, I started working full time and hired a nanny. The nanny is amazing but is super shy. My MIL is notorious in our family for making comments about diet, exercise, weight, ...

So my husband used to be a sense of a safe space for me especially with my anxiety but lately I’m realizing over the past two years he might actually be more triggering to it. It’ll take me forever to go over every detail but long story short I’m not in a good place mentally. I’ve been turned off from him since our...

I’m pregnant with first baby and their first grandchild. We’ve married 7 years and me feeling suffocated has been a source of practically all of mine and hubbbys disagreements/arguments over this time. We went out for dinner and I got told I need to accept help and let people in more (wanting to buy things by mil...
