Our 3 year old doesn’t sleep, he’s up all hours of the night, today he was up for the day at 4am. We have a 6 month old too. It’s absolutely breaking us 😞 this morning he was refusing to get dressed, as usual putting up a fight and in my exhausted infuriated state I screamed at the top of my lungs which I have…

I need some serious advice and help. I'll be talking to his pediatrician soon, but I need guidance right now. My 15 month old is throwing absolutely insane tantrums. I've been trying to wean him off boob and its been extremely hard. He cried yesterday for three hours!! It wasn't a sad cry its a pure anger cry. He sc...

Background story..was in extremely abusive relationship broke it off a lot of work done around that yet he always wants to get back however very manipulative so if he doesn’t get his way is very spiteful. Yesterday at 11pm I started choking on food and couldn’t breathe properly so panicked as it’s just me and the ch...

My husband works long hours and works 6 days a week, so on his day off I want to spend quality time with him and our kids, but his mom will invite herself to spend the night and my husband will always agree to it before running it by me. I have a good relationship with my mil but like I said I just want to spend qua...

Couple of examples. I could be sitting there talking to him and he’ll just be staring at his phone and I stop talking mid through and hear the silence and realise he wasn’t even listening he then gets the arse if I ask him if he was listening! I was telling him how I’m feeling yesterday being 25 weeks pregnant and h...

Hey Mamas! I know this is a hot topic in society in general and in the Christian community. I'm wanting advice on how to discipline my son. He's just turned 1, and has just started hitting me in the face, repeatedly, all day long. I understand that this is typical behavior, but I as his parent need to discipline hi...

I’m so beyond fed up being the only one to be up at night with the baby. This has been going on for 10 months. He only works 4 days a week and I work 7 (wfh) and take care of baby day in and day out. I think I’m beginning to resent my husband. Anyone else in the same boat? How are you coping feeling like a single mo...

Clearly only for the ladies that celebrate Valentine’s Day with their significant other. We have fallen on some tough times and although my fiance wanted to go out for valentines I recommended we can cook dinner together at my house. Although I love going out I thought it would be smarter to save our money and this ...

I can be friendly and respectful to women who break up and invade homes knowingly when the couple doesn’t have children, or the children are grown. It’s the type of women that knowingly invade a home with children being raised that I don’t think you will ever have any redeeming qualities or characteristics. Nothin...

I look after our daughter most of the times, I even cosleep with her and my partner spends very little time with her, usually in the evening while I am making dinner. And while she is with him, she screams a lot. She is not a good sleeper either. But she is a baby after all. Many times he has said that “she depres...

So, my partner often plays online gambling games and he doesn’t necessarily waste any of his money, he tends to lose any winnings and is back at 0. Today, he put £20 on there and he won £400, then £800, then £1000 until he was at £1400. I told him to quit whilst he’s ahead and he said he feels another big wing comin...

Hi! My newborn is 2 weeks old and I just keep making mistakes. Not harmful ones, just I keep making silly mistakes and it’s really getting to me. However I accidentally dropped his nappy cream out of my pocket onto his head today and I’m a mess! (He’s fine, it didn’t leave a mark) But It all makes me feel like a ter...

Lately I am thinking my husband is gaslighting me. I just can see so many red flags that he always make me think I am the crazy one. We have been together for 12 years and maybe till the 7th year he has been always giving me some flowers or a little gift for our anniversary or san valentines, also for my birthdays ...

So with it being Valentine’s Day and all, my husband and I agreed that we weren’t going to celebrate this year because we just can’t afford to quite frankly. We have so many bills we are literally pinching pennies to be able to afford groceries. We agreed no flowers, no gifts, no cards. Just chilling at home togethe...

She’s sick when he’s around. While I’m her primary carer but when’s he’s around she forgets me completely 🤣

Anyone currently living with in-laws. How is it going how do you make it through the week. I currently live with mine and it is a challenge. I am not the type who have a problem with criticism but when it comes to parenting I immediately get offended I’m good at holding in emotions but at some point Ik I’m going to ...

I feel like i don't do enough with my 2 year old boy. How can I get rid of this fear?

Hey mamas so I’m apart of a play group called space, some of use will know it an I go with my 7 month old and have been there since he was about 3 months old. I was there on Tuesday and they were talking about co-sleeping. I said I did it with all my babies and a lot of them said the same. I also said I still slept ...

I’m feeling really upset with my motherhood journey right now. It used to be manageable, but as my son gets older, things have become much harder. He refuses to eat he only likes milk and yoghurt he is underweight, throws tantrums by flinging his whole body back against walls and surfaces, bites, punches, slaps, an...

I’m angry at my partner and I’m starting to resent him more. He’s not really much of a help. I communicated to him but all he says is that he pays the bills and the rent acting as if he shouldn’t be able to help me with our OWN son. Then would ask if I would want to trade places and if I wanted to pay rent and bills...
