Hi girls need more and more advice from mamas, my son has decided he was to start verbally and physically assault me, telling me av to go and kill my self and he’s going to hit me about tomorrow while his dads at work🙈 he’s currently getting tested for ADHD but a don’t think this behaviour is down to that. People…

Soo my 19 month old started day care 3 weeks ago and can anyone relate to their toddlers acting out, behavior changes or crying for any little thing. Like she was not like this before at all like yeah she would have her moments but not like this.. what should I do any advice? Would it be the day care? Or it’s just n...

My FIL is very involved and loves little one but oh gosh I feel like I have a constant shadow! The second baby will cry he’s right behind me and will say “let’s give mommy a break and come with me” He’ll have baby for a good amount of time and when I get baby back to feed or change , he’s right behind me. Yelling i...

We're supposed to go to a birthday party today

My husband is a good man but I am fighting to hold on to my attraction to him. We dated 3 years and have been married for 10. He’s very overweight. Nothing he tries really works for long. When he sits around the house on the weekend he doesn’t look masculine, he looks like the male version of his mom who is also ove...

Completely broken. No idea how I’m going to get through this. I have just broken up with my partner of 14 years and father of our almost two year old. I found pictures/and numerous messages on his phone from a dating site. He claims that’s all is was (hasn’t met up with anyone) but he did this before and I gave one ...

For him it's all day everyday even during work hours since he works from home. Stays up overnight to game. All evening too since his friends hop on. Just a couple days ago I timed it he gamed for 7 hours straight once I told him then of course went on for longer. That's abnormal right? There's 3 kids in the home we ...

We get my step daughter every weekend, (non court order) and I am ready for this shit to end. Every weekend revolves around her, what we do, what we cant do. Cant take them to the park because she wants to exclude her sister when it comes to playing with dad, leaving me alone chasing her chasing them, cant go to the...

Hello, my LO is 15 weeks old and since she was born I can honestly say that I have had 40 mins (this is no exaggeration) 'me time' since she was born and I feel like I'm going insane. I feel guilty because I love her so much but really need this time alone. I also feel like I'm starting to resent my partner as at ...

Does anyone else get raging mom guilt when they need a break? I have a great partner who encourages me to take breaks and do things for myself but I never have a good time because all I think about is how I should be with my son and feel bad it’s all on my partner. Will this go away? And if it doesn’t, how do you de...

This week is my last week of maternity leave. My baby will be starting daycare at just 3 1/2 months. I have been in shambles for a few weeks now. It's hitting even harder today and I'm sure I'll be a mess the night before. It's starting to make me feel really depressed. I'm going to miss him sooo much I worry about ...

I'm married, but I hate it. It feels like marriage tends to favor men over women, especially in African cultures, no matter where they live. Why do some men act like working and paying rent mean they shouldn't have to do housework, cook, or take care of the kids—things like brushing their teeth, making meals, or bat...

Two years in and me and my partner have not been the same for nearly 1 year now. Feels like it’s worse now than it was in the early stages. Backstory… before baby we had all the time in the world, young, party, adventures. And now after the baby because of complications, I now have sciatic pain that is constant an...

Hey Mummas. I am writing this post to see if I am being unreasonable. Our baby is almost 10 months old and throughout this period, 98% of the nights have all been on me. The 2% was on nights that I was ill so not like I had a night off tbh. Our LO has never been a great sleeper and so that’s 10 months of sleep dep...

I don’t know if the post partum rage is taking over and I am being unreasonable. My partner thinks I’m overreacting but I’m so annoyed. My next door neighbour smokes weed in her garden morning, lunch time and evening every day. We live in a terraced house and it blows into our house and makes our house smell consta...

He tries to “help” but ends up just making things worse 🤦🏼‍♀️ our 2yo has a tummy bug, as a result I’ve barely slept the last two nights as he’s been up all hours with tummy pains, vomiting, etc (I cosleep with him and partner sleeps in the guest room). Well partner FINALLY offers to take him this morning so I can…

My husband works full time and studies aswell, meaning he studies in the evenings when our LG goes to bed and is out studying 6am to 12.30 on weekends. He gets up at 4am every morning to study and go to work. It's really affecting me, yes we have the weekend evenings together but it's not really enough for me as he...

So I want to say to my husband that I am fed up of being neglected by him in this marriage. 5 years married with 2 kids I’m sick of not being seen, physically emotionally and sexually neglected. I want to open up this serious conversation because I’m at wits end but I want to say it lovingly and be sensitive. He pro...

My husband is a cold and controlling man. Of course before marriage was the opposite. He critizes everything I do because it's not the way he will do it. He actually said I'm not ready to be a wife because i let the compost bin get too full before emptying it which is funny because prior to this he would say I empty...

I’ve been sick with the flu the last couple days so I’ve spent most of the time in bed, and my husband has been parenting our 2 year old. He had a bad night with her last night (I think she’s also getting sick) and he has woken up so snappy and frustrated with everything she does. She’s just being a normal 2 year ol...
