I’m so jealous of the Mums who go to the gym, lunch with friends, shopping, get their nails done, shave your legs, get your eyebrows waxed, read or have hobbies… How do you do it? Finding it difficult to look after myself. I’m loosing myself. I work full time, out the house at 7:30am and travel back home from Lo...

My husband is WFH. And it's not that bad, but I am never alone. Especially with my very clingy 9mo old. And I don't really need that much alone time, but I never have time to talk to friends on the phone because I feel like my phone calls bother him unless it's family or I can't joke around freely. I would take my c...

Ok for context, I will try and find the video and link it below . But basically this YT mom with two young children get to a house . Questioning the BLK man if it's his housem he says it is and she runs screaming for help . In the most concerning way . Unpopular opinion but , I think it may have been a misundersta...

This will sound really bad what I’m about to say. But all my partner does it moan which will sound really mean. But if it’s not about being tired, it’s mess or it’s money or it’s work or it’s the weather or it’s having no appetite and I know 2 babies is hard. We’ve a 6 month old and 2 year old, I struggle leaving th...

My sister is due soon and I’m trying to figure out how to help her after her baby is here. I didn’t get any help with either of my kids and I was telling her basically I’m there to do anything she needs. I plan to make her some freezer meals she can pop in the oven on difficult days and to clean up her home so she ...

Does anyone else’s mother in laws just grind their gears something chronic? I love mine dearly but she drives me insane with my baby. She always has opinions and makes comments about my parenting and it’s pissing me off 🫠

I missed a PT appointment for myself because I was nap trapped and apparently I’m just supposed to wake my kids up to make it.

My partner complains all the time that hes fed up of arguing and the relationship is shit blah blah blah. Yet he starts on me ALL the time. He moans and complains about everything but yet it’s me I am the problem. For example today, I had to have a quick 10 second shower because we needed to be out the door and we...

He can’t even ask me how his daughter doing He hasn’t seen her since Halloween he’s never there for her he hasn’t bought no clothes for her diapers nothing then has the audacity to ask me for pictures of her and then...

I need more married SAHM friends… I have a close friend who I confide in so I recently told her I was thinking of returning to work and how I felt bittersweet about it her reply is she didn’t have that privilege and that she doesn’t have a husband to provide and that she feels a female should always have their own ...

Back story - I’m pregnant with second and they have talipes of the left foot apparently, and with that comes risk of other chromosomal issues, but my screening tests etc were low I’m really quite stressed about it and would like a NIPT blood test to check. My husband said no because he says I spend too much money ...

My sister's husband turned 50 last year. But his mom died last year so they cancelled the party. This year, they are making it big, a gala. I got the invitation back in november and declined because I work from home on saturdays and me ajd my husband were concerned about spending too much over the holidays. The part...

My little one has started nursery very recently so I know this will probably get better with time but since starting she has been crying when I go to pick her up. I know that she is a bit wobbly throughout the day but today and yesterday before I went to get her I looked through the glass and she was happily playing...

Do you think a man will feel more like a man and walk more in his masculinity and step up if you make him feel more like a man? Example: Not criticizing everything he does wrong & just letting him do them like if he doesn’t do well with groceries just let him try and then whatever he doesn’t get go behind & do it an...

What is everyone using to make your homes smell nice?? It may be a really stupid question but is anyone still using candles, plug ins, air fresheners? I’m aware of not using perfume and i haven’t been using any of the above but it’s been 4 months since i had my LO i just want to make the house smell nice.. what ...

How do I explain to my 7yo son he will never see his Nanny again? My mother has always had her issues and I’ve tolerated a lot from her and our relationship has been on and off for most of my life. We rekindled a few years ago as I thought maybe she’s not mixing her medication and alcohol anymore so she’s a little...

My husband constantly gets irritated over the smallest things that you think you would normally just brush off. For example, the other day at the mall we were with the kids who wanted to use the escalator. He took the kids down it while I took the stroller down the elevator to meet them. I was waiting down there for...

I am feeling awful about the fact I’m considering changing nursery’s for my little ones. Right now I’m walking an hour there and back 2 times a day, I’m 12 weeks pregnant and pushing my kids in the pram at a total weight of 6stone with them in is killing me. I’ve ended up in the walk in as my feet were basically p...

So less than a month after I gave birth to my son (my second child) my parents went to Thailand for a couple of months. I'm already annoyed at the timing but ok. Then they extend it for another 2 months. I'm getting more annoyed. Then mum messages me and cancels going on holiday with my family in April which has bee...

Does anyone get bored being a full time mum. My reasons for quitting my job were mainly due to mental health but I always wanted to be with my son til he started school (that’s another 20 months away) most days I love our little routine but some days are hard, it feels like I’m just sitting around from 3pm waiting f...
