When I tell you this woman has 4 kids 2 are my partners. She goes out twice a month which is fair enough but she’s always moaning she needs a break. For 4 kids she goes out a lot. I’ve never had a break in 19 month every nap and bedtime I’ve done every appointment I’ve taken my child too my baby partner has never gi...

Child and husband free for the first time in months. Do I deep clean the house or go to sleep?🤣

I’m struggling so much with dividing my time between my 2 year old and my 5 month old. I find myself just crawling the living room floor between them both throughout the day. My 2 year old doesn’t play independently for very long and my 5 month old only has 30 min naps every 3 hours until bedtime. I’ll play with tod...

Dose anyone else feel more overwhelmed/stressed when there partner is at home, I feel like I have twice as much to when he is here in regards to house work and caring for baby 😫

38+6w. Due for induction tomorrow. I have great support systems. My husband is amazing and has physically done everything to help me cope. My family has been really supportive. But I can’t shake this feeling of being anxious and uncomfortable - both for the birthing process and with becoming a mom. I’ve never wa...

Can someone please tell me how to help a teenager in this day and age? I have 2 of them that I just don’t get most of the time. They don’t follow rules anymore & I don’t know what else do to?

I swear I get so tired…. I was trying to wash all of the pump parts and baby bottles. I kept hearing my baby cry from the room. I was trying to wait it out to see if he’d get it under control, but my nerves couldn’t take it. I go in there and he’s just laying there on his phone while she’s crying. I asked him if he ...

My baby is 9 weeks old tomorrow, and during his wake windows I feel super guilty if I’m not entertaining him the whole time. I play and talk to him lots but sometimes I just let him chill and he ends up just falling asleep peacefully. I bought him a gym mat that he likes for these moments which has helped massively....

I'm so thankful. It's the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight night. My hubby makes nachos and eats all his nachos and looks over and sees i haven't touched mine. He says what do you need? I say "well I'm feeding baby so I can't eat yet" he waits until it's burp time then takes baby so I can eat ❤️💜 I'm in love with…

I’m almost 6 weeks postpartum from a C-section so still healing, me and my partner have had a up and down past few months (he moved out while I was pregnant it got that bad) while I was pregnant he didn’t help much around the house, wouldn’t do barley any house work, wouldn’t cook his kids tea etc, it was left up to...

Okay so back story. I’ve been married 4 years. I’ve caught my husband in more lies than I count. To be fair most of them have been about porn, but I’ve expressed that I’m not comfortable with that and he’s agreed that he wouldn’t watch it. Some of the lies have been more thought the first time I was postpartum (we h...

the term “terrible twos” bothers me a bit. yes toddlers can be difficult and dealing with tantrums is never fun nor easy, but i don’t think they should be labeled as terrible for doing developmentally normal things. they’re learning and doing their best, i don’t think it’s terrible at all

Really anxious about leaving my baby stay the night with his aunty for the first time. My partner has planned a surprise birthday party for my 30th birthday tonight and has organised for our son to stay with his sister. Is it terrible that I don’t want to go to the party? I just want to spend the night with my son. ...

My fiancé announced to he’s family that we are having our second child. He has 3 brothers all with partners. Is it rude not one of them have bothered to contact me to congratulate me. I know it sounds pathetic I just feel sad.

Hi guys, I feel like it’s all started to hit on how hard I am finding motherhood. I absolutely adore my little one and couldnt be more greatful for her. However I just feel like my aniexty is going through the roof and I’m finding the nights really long and hard. She seems to only want to settle on me and no one e...

Anyone up for a vent session. I’m in desperate need to talk to someone that doesn’t know my family.

I have a 4 1/2 month baby and he’s my first. I feel like people are so judgemental without knowing the dynamic of the house of what goes on in the day. I’ve been told I give too much tv time but I only put it on for 15 minutes when I’m trying to eat. He doesn’t play with toys for a long time as he gets bored quickly...

Hi, So I’m on my second pregnancy with this man and the first time I have him what he wanted. No one else in the delivery room. This time I can’t bare it. I am so close to my sisters and family that my mom passed away I would have her. He’s constantly wanting me to choose him and him alone or nothing. If I have my ...

Hi mommas. Most weekends, my hubby sleeps outside after hanging out with his friends. He doesn't come home and most times he doesn't call me and if he does, he will say he is coming home but never came home and I am currently pregnant and also with an infant. I feel unhappy most times because we have just been marri...
