When I was pregnant with our first baby, my husband used to treat me so well. Now I have a 17 month old and in my second trimester with my second child and my husband just keeps criticizing that I’m not doing enough in terms of taking care of our toddler and the house and he says he does more than me all day. He kno...

Someone tell me I'm not overreacting. Financial hardship but Im going back to work. The challenge is finding childcare. A family friend offered to babysit free of charge. She has a daughter, so I thought it'd be great. NO. It didn't dawn on me until I arrived home with the boys. she says my oldest peed through h...

I am struggling. I’ve been crying non stop all day and have been down all week. I’m pregnant and know it’s probably just hormones. But in therapy my therapist brought up my friends and how it makes me feel that they left me after I got into a relationship. I said it didn’t bother me, but then I saw one friend posts ...

My partner and I have been together for 2.5 years and I still feel like his phone and games mean more to him than his daughter and I. He won't get off of his phone to help me either if it's dinner time or even just to play with our daughter. I hate it. I hate it so much and every time I complain, he says we'll chang...

How do I tell my partner I don’t love him anymore he’s is so nasty to me, but I don’t have the guts to leave him 🙈 but if I left him he would still be nasty 🙈🙈🙈

It’s not the first time my 15 month old baby comes home from a daycare with bruises & bumps on his face. I tried to confront the daycare with questions about what happened with his face. The family daycare that owns this place would tell me that I brought him like that. Even tho I have pictures of my son a day befor...

So a while again I made a post about how we hadn’t told our families that I was pregnant… we wasn’t going to see any of our family till Easter! But I had an accident and our baby was born premature at 22 weeks! So is it wrong to not tell them yet still? I want to tell my parents at least; but my husband is super hes...

Me and my MIL don’t get on a great deal. Past argument, situations bla bla bla. We see things differently and are completely different which is fine, we’re civil for my kids and partner. I try organise trips to the park, walks etc even when my partner is working as at the end of the day she’s a gran to my kids and m...

My husband is away on a trip for work and he searched his room for an hour for signs of bed bugs before we got comfortable. Well the next morning he woke up to go to the bathroom and when he came back there was a bed bug literally sitting on the blanket on the bed. He immediately requested to move hotels with his jo...

Does he deserve jail time?

I see a lot of post where husbands are just horrible and everything so I want to post something positive! Our daughter has been pretty sick the past couple of days and he took work off today to stay and help out with house chores and our daughter♥️ She’s been very glued to me while being sick making it so I can’t ge...

I can't cope anymore I don't know what to do and nobody is getting back in touch I've been waiting for the nursery nurse about help with behavior. I'm spending night time having clumps of hair ripper out and my face scratched up. She's violent with her sister out of no where. Her outbursts are uncontrollable. Please...

Anyone else feel their in-laws aren't what you first thought?

I have returned to WFH and the nights with my little are getting to me. During the day he wants to be in someone’s arms or he gets fussy and at night he is waking up more frequently. I feel foggy in my head and emotional. He woke up 6 times last night crying and before my alarm went off to start the day and I lost i...

I'm just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat. I'm exclusively breastfeeding and I have no desire to do anything sexual. I'm exhausted and always busy with baby. And I honestly just don't want to. My partner has been very patient with me but now he's constantly asking me to do stuff. It's so frustrating and ...

My boyfriend and I own our house. I put the deposit in and he pays the mortgage as I'm a sahm to our 2 young children. We're probably about even now on our financial input to the property but what happens to the house if we break up? I feel forced to stay in this loveless relationship because of the house and the...

I’m getting tired of constantly telling my husband over and over again to not throw his clothes on the floors, THE BASKET IS LITERALLY RIGHT THERE.. I already deal with toddler and twins 🤦🏻‍♀️

My one year old and three year old are both very stubborn and independent. My three year old use to like to run away a lot while out at stores or the mall(thanks to dada for chasing her around whenever we were out). Shes calm down a lot but will still do it once in while. I feel guilty because she will ask me if I’m...

I live in an UPSTAIRS apartment. A couple months ago we had a new neighbor move in downstairs- a single mom. She would play music at the highest level from 8pm-5/6 am in the effing morning. This happened EVERY DAY! We lasted 2 weeks till my husband called the office and put in a noise complaint. That exact same day ...

My daughter just turned three. She’s been doing this since a baby. She grabs any bottle of cream and plays with it. Destin mainly. I can hide it and she finds it. It’s ridiculous. My son busted his lip open and she found his cream for his lip and went painting. That was up high. She climbed her way to find it. I...
