Currently revising ours like shoeroom weekly, kitchen ongoing, etc.

My boy is 18m soon to be 19m and he’s so fast now he’s almost running, I lost sight of him for like a second today in the shop and my heart sank and I shouted his name quite loud, my bf said that I’m embarrassing and need to stop this he said I’m like this when he falls over, like I will gasp and make a big deal but...

My 17 months old just started nursery, and he catches bugs every single week, mostly ear infections. I am alone taking care for him as my husband is always at work. It’s really difficult, he is running a fever of 39 for a third night..I have to put tv on for hours when he is sick because I simply can’t do other staf...

This man does not understand a thing about how pregnancy changes a woman’s typical body functions. I just called to make reservations for dinner which I wanted for 5-5:30 pm bc if I don’t eat by then I am STARVING. The restaurant only had 6:30 so I was upset because now I have to eat two dinners or at least a very h...

So I work 3 days a week, my partner WFH 5 days. I do absolutely everything around the house and cook everyday while pregnant and look after our 3 year old. He currently pays all the bills. I am mentally and physically drained of doing it all alone. He says I pay the bills so I have to do everything else? Is this fair?

My boy is 4.5 month and has generally not been too “difficult” of a baby.. he hit the 4 month regression around 3ish months so night time sleep got worse, but he never had too bad of a witching hour or anything like that as a newborn. However in the last 2 weeks, it feels like he is just mad all the time. Anything I...

I haven't showered in over a week, since my baby was born (over 7 weeks ago) I've showered a total of 4 times, and my laundry has been done once. I feel like I can't get a shower without making sure my partner will be okay with the baby for 10mins. I'm not sleeping because I'm in pain or because my partner oversleep...

Sometimes I just feel like I don't want anyone to need me and to stop to-do lists constanty rolling through my head, I just want time on my own and quiet! I feel bad saying it because my husband does his best to help with everything but because he doesn't look after baby as much as I do, he still asks me questions a...

My baby is 4 months old now and for the last 2/4months my partner and I have just been constant arguing, I’m genuinely just feeling really low and sad at the moment and do not know what to do at this point! Anyone else in same boat?

Had period pains and a lay in so husband took baby to have her in the living room this morning but then woke me up as she had a dirty nappy that needed changing by me?! How do I address this as he's changed one nappy since she's been born. He knows how to and will do it if I'm not there otherwise I'm the default p...

I'm really considering leave my partner. I'm unhappy in myself and us together. We've been through alot and I've all stuck by him through his own struggles but I just can't cope any more. I feel I don't get the help and understanding from him. I see that he manipulates me using his and my own feelings and actions ag...

This is my 4th pregnancy, and it's been the same every single one. I honestly just can't stand him. His presence, his voice, how he acts. I think maybe because I've got on with him doing bare minimum as I'm a sahm and he works and cknes back home late and tired, i just allow him to do minimal when it comes tonhome a...

Need to start leaving my LO with my husband so I can go to work. Anything to make sure this process is smooth? Feeling so stressed and anxious about this.

Would you be annoyed if your sister in law drove past your house every day but never came to visit her niece

Why am I annoyed? Those dirty looks. Scanning eyes. I don't understand other moms trying to compete with me. I'm very intuitive so I pick this shit up instantly and it's very annoying Example. Every Saturday I'm at an activity with my son I see the few same moms. I like to get there early so my son can just gen...

I used to live with my in laws and moved out after giving birth as they caused my PPD. Telling me what I should do with my baby, bitching behind my back,dismissing my rules around my baby. Long story short they love to backbite me but act fake to my face. Whenever I go there they will never bicker but once I leave I...

long story short, my bf and i haven’t been getting on well at all recently, our daughter is 10 months old and our relationship was close to ending a few days as we just aren’t getting along. Today, as i was getting ready to shower my bf kept saying he’s taking our daughter to see his mom and grandma (i am not okay...

Feeling very down right now. Need to take baby boy out more often but I’m often held back by the fact that I’m very overweight and can’t do some movements easily- esp in public. Things like getting on and off the floor with him. Carrying him for extended periods or maybe running. I don’t want to go out just us two...

Long story. My current partner slept with a girl a couple of years ago. He told me how much of a mistake it was, she was awful blah blah. Fast forward a few years and around 8 months ago she got his number and started messaging him on WhatsApp. She is constantly messaging him about the past and wanting him to go...
