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...

I am sick to death with my in laws. Everytime I take my baby to their house which is once a week someone always has something to say. If it's not the grandma saying things like "I know him and why he's crying" how does she know my child better than me? She doesn't! She tries to undermine me . It's almost as if she t...

Does anyone else’s baby not like being left with their dad? I know they have preferences but whenever I leave the room he’s in hysterics and it’s quite upsetting for both of us. Is this normal?

What do you do when you have a 2 year old and 8 month old and it’s crying all day, sometimes simultaneously. My husband is gone for 2 weeks at a time and I’m losing my mind. Are there sahm who genuinely enjoy this bc I don’t know what to do. I try to plan activities, keep them busy, go places and it’s tantrums all...

I don’t know if it’s due to the hormones/pre natal depression, but I find myself getting easily irritated by my husband, who seems somewhat disconnected from the pregnancy lately. Don’t get me wrong he is good around the house etc, and does a lot for me, but sometimes he seems unaware and selfish - we often eat lat...

My 21 month old is learning to help out and clean up. While I'm alone with her during the day I'll take a break and instruct on how to clean up and she does it. She cleans up toys or throws away trash while I relax.

Like I no longer have feelings for him everything about him makes me mad ,, hes choosing his job over me and my daughter, he never go with me to the doctors appointment even when I was pregnant ,, am tired of feeling mad and being in the bad mood because ...

I am absolutely losing my mind. I love our son more than anything in the world and I am so happy and thankful to have him but we chose to leave Virginia and come back to Florida when we found out I was pregnant (we were not trying and I was actively and religiously taking my birth control) to be with family to make ...

What would y’all do if your husband’s family is asking for you to take something, but every time you do they always find something bad to say about your food. Once I made pozole and no one ate!! Another time my husband make chicken and they thought I helped him cut the fried they were complaining about how I cut t...

I keep getting fight or flight level overwhelm and I hate it! My baby was a dream of a newborn but now he’s nearly 5 months he’s tough sometimes! I think the sleep regression is hitting his daytime sleep as he realllllly struggles to nod off and stay asleep! He gets overtired and whingey and the noise makes me want...

I've left my little one for the first time with his dad for more than half an hour....to take my mum to the shops because she's been asking me to take her for ages. And I'm bloody feeling guilty the entire time! Like my partner is annoyed at me. If I don't go I feel guilty for not looking after my mum....ugh!

So I’ve come home from work and felt a bit off on the train, my tummy is in knots right now and I feel so sick, I’m also currently 23 weeks pregnant. I’ve had to come to bed because the pain is unbearable. It’s gastro so not baby related, but my partner is having to look after our 14 month old. He was saying he was...

I mean I'm being serious, I thought I was just imagining it or blaming him when really there's no correlation but... no, today he's been away at the office and she has been good as gold every second of the day, even when hungry, tired etc., she was communicating with me and it's been a dream spending the day with he...

Me and my husband have been living with MIL for almost a year due to financial reasons. I am 15 days post partum and she’s arranged an after birth party for me. This is traditional to our culture but it is usually done 40 days after the birth to give the woman time to heal and adjust to her new life. When MIL told m...
