Myself and my partner have a baby daughter and he has a 12 year old from a previous relationship. We have said we weren't going to spend much on baby for Christmas, but he has already spent over £200 on his other child. Is this just something I need to accept or should something be mentioned?

So I don’t even know why I’m here writing this as I know there’s no solution but I’m just so overwhelmed today and haven’t stopped crying. My partner is away with work this week and next. I’m a first time mum to a gorgeous boy of 6 months. He’s a Velcro baby which I kinda love but I literally can’t do a thing withou...

My house is always clean, but as you know my clean and someone else’s clean may not always be the same. My future mother in law asked me to do a deep clean on her house before Thanksgiving. I’m shitting bricks. She wants woodwork , dusting, bathroom, etc. the whole nine yards. Just the downstairs. Does anyone have...

I am at my wits end! So my daughter is now four let inlaws, so the parents, husbands siblings and even his cousins and their kids say my daughters name wrong. I have told them multiple times and say her name correctly yet they must do it out of spite! They kick off if anyone mispronounces their names wrong (i have o...

My lease states that pest control will be provided every third Thursday of the month. They’re almost never consistent but in the last two years we have lived here they usually come. They’re almost never last 4-6 months I’ve noticed more bugs than usual. Majority of which are spiders or roaches or stink bugs. We live...

I’ve got 11 month old twins, husband is wfh but busy on calls. When off calls he likes going to garage fix things around the house or car and he often does it til late and spends only 30 mins in a day with the twins. It frustrates me as I am with them 24/7, he always has ‘things to do’ which is true but I think babi...

Just here to vent. I’m a WFH mom of 2, one is 3 yrs old with sensory issues and developmental delays, and a 9 month old. My husband suffers from depression, anxiety, possible ADHD and alcoholism. He def loves his kids and is such a great dad when he’s mentally good and present, but otherwise struggles a lot - he is ...

I'm done having kids... I would like more kids, but I don't want multiple baby fathers, and I definitely won't be having any more by my children's dad. I'm currently 5 months pregnant and have a 1 year old. He's there financially, but he thinks that's all that matters. Smh, he was never shown affection as a kid or b...

My partner is a wonderful provider and I’ve been a SAHM for 20 months. He’s also taken on $10K of my debt. I do all the baby rearing house stuff. Do you think he should be able to go on solo trips to away football games? He’s taken 5 trips in 20 months where I have to solo parent for like 5 days. It leaves me extrme...

Guys just sharing that we've discovered the vacuum cleaner sound sends our four week old to sleep in an actual instant!! Such a game changer! Just passing along in case it works for anyone else!

A post has just been made, but my topic is slightly different. I basically need to ventilate, talk about it, ask for opinions, because I'm obsessed with the concern since the nursery team mentioned it, and I can't stop thinking about it. We have our 2 years appointment on the 25th and I guess these two weeks will pa...

4 days postpartum and my husband has really pissed me off. I had to have a c section because my first did a lot of damage when coming out. In my hospital our husbands stay in a private room with us with their own fold out beds as the midwives feel the c section mothers need help with lifting their babies and going ...

My LO has started going to daycare a month ago and he is crying all day. We send him for 2 days a week but he is not at all ready to settle in. My heart breaks seeing him crying all day long. Has anyone experienced the same and how much time did your LO took to settle in the new space.? I also feel the teachers are ...

My husband is great with our daughter and I am truly grateful for his support and how present he is as a father. We have been through a recent period of very unsettled nights (this lasted for months) where my daughter wanted to breastfeed continually ( she was previously night weaned). I normally let her feed but it...

My 2 year old has been so naughty today like the naughtiest he's ever been and all I've done today is shout. I feel awful, apologised to him but he just finds it hilarious and carries on. I'm due to give birth anyday now and my partner reckons he's gotta be doing it for a reason. All I'm saying is its gonna be a lo...

My husband and I've been together for 5 years and married for a little over a year now. We had our baby this year and both of our families live in another country. My mum couldn't come for long due to her health issues but she was here for the birth, and then MiL came to "help" me recover and look after the baby. Th...
