Posting here because I know I don’t have anything to complain to her about but gotta vent. My mom lives several hours away. She visits about once a month to help with the kids which is AMAZING. But tends to overcommit. For example, like a week ago she said she would be here today early afternoon with a dinner casse...

How soon do you Tell family and close friends?

All I feel like I can do is let my son watch tv and I’m feeling really guilty how much screen time he is getting. But he doesn’t play independently really he is 2 1/2. Anyone have any ideas for how to cut down on screen time? I’m just so exhausted all the time.

Curious after watching that dude on TikTok who don’t clean his air fryer

I have a 7 week old baby. I’m sleep deprived and My husband is saying I’m being less affectionate… mate I barely get time to brush my teeth. Then my 14 year old lad is giving me a hard time. Everyone is saying I’ll be more sensitive as my newborn is only 7 weeks. But I don’t think I am. I just think men do not get w...

My husband... Not sure that's the right word. Had mental health. He's let me down time and time again. Not been there at key points in life. We were working things through but I had to leave home whilst pregnant as I needed help with my oldest and he wasn't mentally able to. We were working things out and it all lo...

How do you stop your children from telling their dad everything happening in your home. My kids loyalty is not to me, it’s to their dad. Their dad wants to take them from me because he doesn’t like my husband. They tell him everything that is said and done in my home. Personal conversations, everything. I feel like ...

I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old . Whilst strapping my 2 year old into car seat my 4 year old will run off up the road . I am then stuck as I need to finish strapping my 2 year old into seat to keep him safe but also my 4 year old is then also in danger running off on his own. If I put my 4 year old in car ...

There have been a few times where we had sex I orgasm and 15mins later he does something that bothers me and I say something to him. But he says I shouldn’t be fighting him after he makes me cum. He says it makes him feel like he’s not fucking me right bc I’m still fighting him. But even if I orgasm and he does so...

I just wanted to vent. I have no particular reason but I'm feeling very overwhelmed today. Bursting into tears over the smallest thing my toddler does/doesn't do. Took me 15 mins to change a poppy nappy because he didn't want to lay on his back. Anything I take off him be it the remote, and glasses, my phone, a powe...

Went to a baby class this week and someone brought there older child who was off school ill to class. I'm slightly annoyed by this and the fact that they were allowed to do so. Am I right to be? Or am I over reacting?

Just hit 6 months pp and my partner wants to call it quits. He says it’s not me and he’s the issues. That he can’t take care of others if he can’t even take care of himself. I feel hurt that I wasn’t the space he wanted/needed to grow. I’m hurt that he let me live in this delusional fairytale that he loved me so muc...

Those with dietary requirements, whether that's an allergy, sensitivity, preference or for religious reasons. ❓When you visit your in-laws/partners family, do they make/buy you something ❓ I've been bringing my own food for about a decade now and it's gotten to a point I can't be bothered going 🤷🏼‍♀️ Needing to…

Ladies, My husband has this strange habit. If he's having a "meeting" with a woman he puts his airpods on. When working from home, my husband more often than not, will have his meetings on loud as he has his office in a seperate room in the house. Yet, I've noticed, when he's talking to a woman, it will be on head...

This is a bit of a vent but I’m struggling to cope, my partner is not allowed to work or study in the uk (due to his immigration status) so he is not allowed to make any kind of money (was doing little cash in hand jobs before) and he recently got in trouble again with the police (not his fault it was more a wrong p...

I love my partner but today has been a tough one. We have two under two. Currently everyone in the house is sick. I’ve spent the whole day nursing the youngest as well as playing and taking care of both of them. He did bedtime with the oldest but I did everything before (bath, brush teeth, book, medicine, suck nose)...

So my Mother in Law and I were in conversation yesterday evening about staying home with my son. She mentioned that both myself and boyfriend (of 6 years) are very lucky because we both get to stay home with our little boy. He is now 5 months so I’m still on maternity leave but my partner doesn’t currently work. N...

Baby was sick yesterday. Hubby is sick today. We haven't been able to do a grocery pick up just yet so we didn't have anything for me to make for dinner tonight. So little man had a French fry from the McDonald's I doordashed, some cheerios, and a bit of apple sauce for his dinner. He also was eating super late sinc...

My partner and I had a past of lying to each other once on each end, we agreed to move forward, it would be best to share our locations(his idea). We moved in together and have a camera set up in the living room that faces the door to our apartment for our puppy. There’s been a few instances our dryer went out and w...

Hey all please don’t judge but I am a sahm, depending on my partners income and I guess I’m just seeking advice. I solely depend on my partners income and as of lately he’s been really stingy with money. I’ve never been the type of person to ask for money to buy myself clothes shoes or let alone my own necessities…
