My BD bought my child a blanket and saw a photo of another baby with it. He asked if it was her blanket so I lied and said I didn’t think so, knowing he wouldn’t like that. He said he knew I was lying so I said sorry that I shouldn’t have played dumb and said I didn’t know. He threw the blanket in the bin, he later ...

I live in a different city to my mum and she visits me and my son infrequently, maybe once every couple of months for a day or night. I have two older brothers who live closer to her. Today she came to visit us and she mentioned casually that she has booked a holiday with one of my brothers later in the year, and th...

Did anyone else feel any resentment towards their husband after having a baby? My little girl is currently 6 days old and my husband thought it was acceptable to go to the pub with his friend for a couple of hours. I was absolutely exhausted and I feel embarrassed to say this but i fell asleep with her in my arms. H...

I’m a stay at home mom. I have an almost 3 yr old who’s autistic. He needs to be taken to the school and therapy. He’s nonverbal so I stick by his side as of now. Recently my son’s dad did his taxes and just got a large amount of money back. He doesn’t plan to give me any money either. I basically live off my sons ...

I'm gutted for my children. They'll lose everything they know. I'll be homeless, have been a sahm so have no income. I'm scared of the worst outcome and destroying my childrens world. Should I just paper the cracks and stay for their sake?

This might sound a little mad but here we go 😂 We recently installed a monitor above our LOs next to me in our bedroom. It’s linked to our phones and is always on. My husband works away for half the week and he has started to check the monitor when he’s away as he says he likes to be able to see our baby in real…

Y’all I’m over my family’s unsolicited advice on how to raise my son and feeling like I have to explain how I’m raising him time and time again. My son is only 5 weeks and my mom and Nana will not stop saying I need to let my baby cry and not hold him so much. I’ve explained again and again that we are not doing the...

My bf is mad at me because I don’t want him to take our son abroad for a week to see his family. Our son is 6 months old and just don’t feel comfortable with him being in a different country to me for over a week! There’s a few reasons as to why I can’t go at the moment but he says I’m being way too overprotective. ...

We recently hosted a big Easter party for our family and friends and at the end 99% of the people didn’t even come and say bye. There was no space left on the table to sit with them as we do have the agreement that they bring their own chairs as always as they weight 350lb so the normal chairs aren’t comfy for them…...

I need to leave my child’s father. This man is just toxic as hell. I have caught his ass adding/texting other females. He finds any reason to argue and yell. I’m just done I’m so tired of being unhappy, but he’s the only source of daycare at the moment sadly. I got out on the care4kids waitlist and I can’t really pa...

Ok mamas….

Am I in the wrong for being annoyed at this? So my boyfriend will say his going out to do something in the day take hours to do it but calls me to say I’ll be back soon etc, when he gets home he will be exspecting all the houses to be clean, and the washing to be done ( only dose his own if he was to do it) when he ...

My parents have been amazing with helping us get ready for the little one coming, they have bought the pram and car seat and helped paint the nursery but as we are getting nearer the end I can’t help but feel like they are offended by some of the decisions we are making. The first being when I told them under no c...

So I may be overreacting and please tell me if I am. My husband gets off work mega early every day but likes to pretend he didn't. He said he would like to go to the golf after his early shift and would go straight there, I said no problem. I don't have an issue with him doing that. He doesn't help much round the ho...

I am pregnant with my first baby. We just found out it’s a boy. My husband is over the moon. I, on the other hand, am more shattered than I ever thought I’d be. We want to have a second, and if our second isn’t a girl, I am not sure I’ll be able to cope. I have a bonus daughter already, she’s 8 now and I’ve been i...

Convinced I have the worlds most moodiest baby! He's forever grumpy and frustrated no matter what we do. He seems so disassociated and bored all the time.

My baby has been crying all morning since the moment we woke up. I mean hysterical holding his breath crying. He’s usually such a chill baby and hardly ever cries. He’s been fed, burped, had a dirty nappy, he had a good sleep last night, I’ve tried carrying him around, cuddling him. Nothing is working and I really d...
