I am hoping someone has experienced the same or has multiple children and can give some reassurance with no judgemeny as its something im really wuite worried about. My little one is 7 months and has always been on the grumpier side, had colic the first two months, shown a fiesty side when due a feed/sleepy etc, at ...

So me and my husband bump heads when it comes to who should do what. So today our daughter causes the dresser to fall (she’s fine) and everything on top fell I asked him could he pick it up for me. He refused to do it unless I helped so I got mad because I feel as though I have to do everything child related. So I k...

He barely comes home . This is my boyfriend not my child’s father . He says he’s always making plays at night but how he always making plays but always broke and when I call he’ll be at his friends house . Am I wrong for wanting to leave or is there something I can do to manage this ?

So my FIL was out of the country for the week and immediately came over today once his plane landed. Didn’t tell me or my husband that he was coming over . He mentioned to my SIL that he was feeling sick and was in contact with someone sick. My husband is at work and I’m very uncomfortable that he’s here with a ras...

How do you handle budget for baby with your partner? We had baby 2 months ago and we had first argument about that today. With us since beginning of relationship it has been pretty much 50-50. Now he is saying he is giving more then me. I never really calculated in a penny, maybe he is but difference is small. I sug...

Do you guys ever wonder if the labor we women are carrying is too much and more than our men do? Having a baby or even multiple kids, entertaining them, keeping the house clean, prepare nourishing meals, planning for the family, while staying mentally stable, taking care or ourselves and our relationships? While bei...

Hey, I have a 15 month old and a 3 week old. Ever since the baby was born my 15 month old has been very upset crying a lot having tantrums and just generally not his normal happy self. I’ve tried to give him as much attention as possible but as I’ve had a C-section I can’t lift him etc so my partner is doing more wi...

Specifically, how much do you either get given to you or spend in a week or 2? What do you spend it on? If you don't mind me asking. My partner seems annoyed that he has sent me $950 in the last 10 days. $300 for my birth control procedure $250 for our $140 phone bill $300 because my account was overdrawn, and ...

So here's the dilemma. I am the sole carrier of our 3 month old. I do like 98% of everything. My husband helps when needed ( like watching baby while I shower, going to the bathroom or he makes a bottle when I need it) my thing is i really need a break and I'm suppose to be going to a concert next month on the 19th ...

Hi everyone! Im not comfortable with my in-laws and would like to set some boundaries. Can you please share me what healthy boundaries mean for you? We are living from different sides of the world and even if that's the case, I can deeply feel that our boundaries and space have been violated everytime we had a chanc...

Sunday is my day. Hubs takes babies to in laws and I do womanly things vs mommy wife things. Well today is FIL birthday and hubs asked me to go. I reluctantly agreed because if I don't show up they get in their feelings, very "what did we do to her? Does she not like us?" My in laws are great. Never had an issue. ...

What age did you expect your kid to stop needing constant supervision? And punishing them for making a mistake when you weren't looking. At 3 years old, I feel like if I wasn't watching, it's my fault. But sometimes it's like did you really just do that? Yesturday he threw dirt into the house from outside. Today wok...

Hi guys, I’m in a bit of a pickle. My step dad wants to take my daughter from when she’s three months old (she isn’t born yet as of now) for Friday and Saturday to sleep over so I have a break. I don’t know what to do because I don’t want to cause drama as i don’t want her gone for that long. I tried explaining ma...

Okay I just need to know if I’m being crazy or not. My oldest sister when she visits is always on her damn phone. Whether it’s playing on it or shoving it in my daughter’s face to take pictures/videos of her or FaceTiming everyone. It irks me so badly idk why, but I gotta know, am I being ridiculous? I wish she woul...

please tell me i’m not alone. Me and my boyfriend don’t live together right now but he has my car to get to and from work as his is broken. He doesn’t come by often as he works long hours and we are currently living 30 minutes away from eachother. No one comes to see me and i live with my sister but she will only ta...

My Mil lives in a different country but that doesn’t stop her from ruining my mood. She regularly makes comments re my daughter when we talk on phone like “oh poor thing she started day care at 6 months” , “school going kids go to school for a shorter duration, but she goes all day”, “how many hours does she stay th...

I’m back at work and struggling with the new routine. We drop LO off at nursery or his grandparents for 8.30 each morning and pick him up for around 4. I feel like we barely get any time with him in the evening, even less time for ourselves. I feel so rushed off my feet in the week, hanging on to a few hours of qual...

Am I being unrealistic of expectations with my fiance? When I gave birth to our daughter at the end of january he wasn’t working and was an amazing help to me and was doing well with her. He then finally got a job again and when he went back to work it’s like his while ego changed. Like he hardly wants to hold his d...

Hey everyone! Just reaching out for any tips, coping mechanisms or anything that helped you when you split from your partner? Me and my son are moving out to our own house in a few days and I am terrified. We’ll be co-parenting. It was my call to end the relationship but I am still devastated. Thank you 🫶

I feel like I’m dealing with this alone. I’m just hoping there’s another mum on here who has either had similar or is going through it now. My little girl throws tantrums already. Usually when she wants to walk around holding our hands and we sit her down. I’m scared this is a sign of her personality and things to...
