I need more married SAHM friends… I have a close friend who I confide in so I recently told her I was thinking of returning to work and how I felt bittersweet about it her reply is she didn’t have that privilege and that she doesn’t have a husband to provide and that she feels a female should always have their own ...

Back story - I’m pregnant with second and they have talipes of the left foot apparently, and with that comes risk of other chromosomal issues, but my screening tests etc were low I’m really quite stressed about it and would like a NIPT blood test to check.

My sister's husband turned 50 last year. But his mom died last year so they cancelled the party. This year, they are making it big, a gala.

My little one has started nursery very recently so I know this will probably get better with time but since starting she has been crying when I go to pick her up. I know that she is a bit wobbly throughout the day but today and yesterday before I went to get her I looked through the glass and she was happily playing...

Does anyone have an occasional cleaner for your house? And how much do you pay please?

Do you think a man will feel more like a man and walk more in his masculinity and step up if you make him feel more like a man? Example: Not criticizing everything he does wrong & just letting him do them like if he doesn’t do well with groceries just let him try and then whatever he doesn’t get go behind & do it an...

I’m aware of not using perfume and i haven’t been using any of the above but it’s been 4 months since i had my LO i just want to make the house smell nice.. what ...

How do I explain to my 7yo son he will never see his Nanny again? My mother has always had her issues and I’ve tolerated a lot from her and our relationship has been on and off for most of my life. We rekindled a few years ago as I thought maybe she’s not mixing her medication and alcohol anymore so she’s a little...

My husband constantly gets irritated over the smallest things that you think you would normally just brush off. For example, the other day at the mall we were with the kids who wanted to use the escalator. He took the kids down it while I took the stroller down the elevator to meet them. I was waiting down there for...

I am feeling awful about the fact I’m considering changing nursery’s for my little ones. Right now I’m walking an hour there and back 2 times a day, I’m 12 weeks pregnant and pushing my kids in the pram at a total weight of 6stone with them in is killing me. I’ve ended up in the walk in as my feet were basically p...

So less than a month after I gave birth to my son (my second child) my parents went to Thailand for a couple of months. I'm already annoyed at the timing but ok. Then they extend it for another 2 months. I'm getting more annoyed. Then mum messages me and cancels going on holiday with my family in April which has bee...

Does anyone get bored being a full time mum. My reasons for quitting my job were mainly due to mental health but I always wanted to be with my son til he started school (that’s another 20 months away) most days I love our little routine but some days are hard, it feels like I’m just sitting around from 3pm waiting f...

I know they are going through a phase but he’s literally such hard work, I’ve had another boy 5 days ago so I’m sure my hormones are all over the place but today I was crying thinking what have I done? He literally doesn’t sit still, clings to me the whole time, like literally clings to my leg, doesn’t play indepe...

Am I being dramatic? My partner barely spends time with me and my little one, He’s excuse is that he works and he wants some time to himself, when he comes home he may spend an hour with us and then leaves us and goes to play his gaming… he goes out quite often and also on weekends like last weekend Saturday and...

My little boy is near a year. He is breastfed and refuses the bottle he has only now just stated taking a sippy cup with milk in. So I'm aware this is part of the reason night wakings end up being myself. But I feel so much resentment towards my partner watching him get a full night's sleep, feeling he doesn't try e...

So my bf gets home from work this morning and I have our son asleep right next to me. As soon as he gets home, I get up so I can get ready for work and he asks me if I can make him soup. So I say hold on. Our son starts to wake up and my bf grabs him but he’s still crying at this point. So as I make him a bottle, i ...

I’m a 43 year old mum to 3.5 year old, parents are in their 70’s. My son has a really close relationship with them and spends a lot of time at their house but I’m really aware that he’ll be quite young when they go and I literally have sleepless nights worrying about how he’ll cope, how I’ll deal with his upset etc....
