I am just so miserable and feel like I can’t make it the rest of the way. I am 38 weeks and 4 days so I know I’m close. But I have only been getting like 3-4 hours of sleep because even laying down my back is in so much pain. I cramp all day and night! I have reflux. Then because I’m not sleeping I’m beyond tired so...

My 22 month old is definitely going through it atm. Now I know it’s normal, he isn’t being naughty on purpose, he’s testing limits, he’s dealing with big feelings etc but I am not handling it well. It’s just me and my boy, no support no family. I really need some tips or advice on how to deal with kick offs over ‘si...

My son is 7 months old and hates car drive unless I sit in the back. He cried all the way to Asda the other day no where for me to stop and comfort him. Please help, even when my husband sits at the back he hates it. I usually only take him out to run errands when he is milk drunk. I am starting work soon and wou...

Help I’m going out of my fucking mind as I can’t do a single nappy change without the most insane tantrum ever and it takes at least 30 mins. My partner has never witnessed this as he’s at work and when he changes him he lies still and calm for some reason. I’ve googled and already trying everything I saw there but ...

My daughter’s behaviour is getting out of control. I don’t even feel like I’m being dramatic here. I’m at a loss of what to do. She doesn’t respect anything I say. She’ll laugh in my face if she’s told off. She’s resulted to hitting/smacking me now if she gets told off. For example, she’ll take her little sister’s ...

Anyone gets annoyed to their husband for not knowing how to settle the baby or can’t make the baby fall asleep? I get so frustrated when my husband is watching our son for few minutes and when he cries or get cranky I end up rushing what I was doing just to get the baby back because my husband doesn’t try different...

I’m 20 and me and my husband live with my mother who helps us TREMENDOUSLY but.. I’ve asked her not to bring her “spouse” around my daughter because she’s constantly breaking up with them and they have disrespected my husband and I over the course of 3 years; for example saying things like “I fell bad for ______ tha...

Ladies. You cannot trust men. Even the “good” ones wear a mask. My husband told me about some of the conversations the married/serious relationship guys have with each other. He revealed to me that they mostly talk about women that they meet or sleep with. Just completely disrespecting their partners without any reg...

Today was such a tough day. We’re in the transition period and have a whole month to make it as smooth as possible, but after today, I’m feeling so anxious. My little one cried on and off the whole time, barely ate anything, completely refused his bottle, and only slept for 34 minutes. Last week, we started with ju...

So my husband is being asked to pay more for child support . Ok fine whatever . But it’s evident that bm doesn’t use that money on their kid . Ok whatever right . But then I hate how he then supplies things for their daughter there and here . Not my money so I don’t care . My annoyance is that he’ll give give give t...

My husband has grown up in an enmeshed family dynamic. This has caused tension in our marriage. For the last 5 years, We've dealt with my in-laws overstepping boundaries, berating and manipulating my husband when he's tried to successfully set boundaries, wanting to know every decision we are making, including decis...

My partner wants nobody else involved for the first two weeks after our daughter being born. He wants time just us to bond and said that he feels like I'm going to take that away from him and that it won't be a special time if anyone else is involved. On the other hand, I really want the support of my Mum. She's goi...

My husband and I have been married 9 years, however i decided to separate because his has a bad temper, a complainer. No patience AT ALL, so he will do things that I never felt good about it, he always made me feel unheard, and at times I fear him, he would constantly erase his voice even to me. So other things tha...
