My man does this a lot…he enjoys back rubs etc but I swear he asks like as I’m trying to fall asleep like legit will ask AFTER I lay down on my stomach and get comfortable. I would hope he knows I’m exhausted because I try to get up as much as I can to pump or if not then I’m feeding the baby getting up for work etc...

My oldest earthbound is 3 years old and is opening doors so I had bought those caps that go over door knobs and he takes them off like they're nothing. He looked me dead in the eyes as he ripped it off and threw it on the floor and walked out of his room. I don't know what else to do because every night he leaves hi...

My bf will not watch our toddler while I’m cooking and won’t cook if I’m watching her. I’m getting rlly annoyed bc she keeps getting into things (she’s very smart and will climb anything she can). Yesterday she poured syrup all over my work desk I had to buy a new keyboard and clean my entire desk off. And when I as...

I saw a post on Youtube- Reels. It says 'let your kids believe in Santa Claus, you once believed in your Baby Daddy' And I thought 💭 Yea I did. But No Cuz I want my son to always tell me the truth. And I want our mom and son relationship be an honest one. How can I expect Him to be honest with me - if I…

I am 7 months pregnant and am supposed to be moving in with my boyfriend in the next day or so. He has not helped with any of the planning or packing and has left me to do everything (except pay) by myself. When I ask him to help pack he tells me “it’s not like it’s right around the corner and I’m doing stuff at ou...

So I asked my son a few minutes ago to shut the kitchen light off. It’s his responsibility when he’s done eating supper. He usually doesn’t do it which doesn’t truly bother me until today. He’s had an attitude all day and went stomping upstairs cause I asked him to stop scraping his fork on his dad’s water bottle wh...

So I went out to an event with my sister no drinking nothing just went somewhere for a couple hrs to get out the house without the kids and my husband is getting mad at me that I went out. I haven’t been out the house by myself without them since before I gave birth and he talking about priorities that I should go o...

I’m pretty sure my boyfriend has an addiction to 1v1 chat sites. He jacks off to them. I find it so repulsive. I’m pregnant with baby #2 and I’m pretty much at my wits end. He lies and says he just watches porn which I don’t care if he watches porn. He is paying for these sites. Just the other day he paid 3.00$. Idk...

So my bd wants a visit with baby and I only feel comfortable with it being supervised. The only person in his fam that isn't completely nuts is who I pick. Well she blocked his number. And I'm not letting him in my house he's crazy. Can't do his home because no one would be there and his home is cigarettes and dog p...

My little one is 13 and a half months and has been attending nursery two days a week (Thursday and Friday) since September. He is still very unsettled at drop off and throughout the day he will cry unless he's being held. He has had a lot of time off (probably every other week) because he keeps getting very sick e...

I've been with my partner for five years and we have a 4 year old daughter. Our relationship has been very up and down for a long time. He overcame a gambling addiction but still lies to me about his finances which I find very triggering. He runs his own business and works away frequently and we have little in the w...

My husband said he was gonna bring his lap top to work from home bc he has too much work to catch up on. When he got home he didn’t get on his laptop bc he said he can’t get any work here at home bc baby. Then I said to him “ u see how I feel? How do u expect me to work from home and care for baby?” Bc he said I s...

Do you get money from your hubby on a weekly/biweekly/monthly from your hubby? Money that he gives you just to give you? How much does he if so? I was thinking of asking my partner for $20 a week. So $80 a month. I do all housework but he pays all bills. I do all the kids stuff, his stuff, and my stuff. Laundry dish...

So me and my partner looked after our daughter for almost 2years. We always managed to work without needing childcare. We did however put her into nursery for two half days a week in September and she was fine for the first few times, but then they would have to rip her out of my arms screaming i was heart broken. S...

Anyone else finding it hard to balance life with your little one and step kids? My partner has 2 girls with 2 other mums and we have 1 girl together. His other 2 girls are older (10 & 13) and he used to have them both every weekend but as they’re getting older, he’s letting them make the decision on whether they co...

Ladies I know I'm getting stuck in my own head so just looking for some words of reassurance. Partner and I are off for a little date night tomorrow. Dinner and cinema. Really looking forward to just having some quality time together. Little one will be staying overnight at my Mum's, who lives 20 minutes down the ...

For example, helping him get ready in the morning, or helping him when he does overtime, or helping him to organize or scheduling or anything to do with his job?

My mother in law has been bugging us to take my son to her hospital for a while now but we always got out of it. Now that he is a toddler (16m) she wants to take him herself. She lives in the street behind us and comes over once a week for 30 minutes just to play, take pictures to show her friends and go home. Neve...
