I would like to say I'm a decent wife. Whenever he needs to relax/ take a nap, no worries. Whenever he wants to go out or play video games, you got it. I'll rarely ask for him to watch his own child. Today we had an argument and he started that I'm insecure and need to get a life. I'm to the point where I want to di...

My husband has been very irritated lately and when I do something to annoy him he starts these arguments that I just can’t win/deescalate regardless of what I say so I usually just say nothing and let him be upset and go to the other room for a hour or so. But lately he’s been talking about us not being together an...

There are many posts and videos of people regretting their support of Trump this election. I spoke with a fellow mom tonight at gymnastics who voiced to me how much she regretted her vote. We were discussing IEPs and she told me she actually did not realize (until a family member showed her) that getting rid of ...

My daycare is okay.. I live in a small town with few options and no family to help. Today I noticed my son was in the same diaper all day almost 9 hours. They had a birthday party for one of the kids, so I know it was a busy day and this is the first time this has happened. What would you do or say? I don’t know how...

Anyone else struggling with being a working mom? This is my 3rd week back in the office and I’m so drained. The first two weeks back were kind of nice. It was a little fun to get back into the world and speak to adults again but it’s starting to really wear on me. Motherhood has overall been great but now it’s been ...

My daughter is a nightmare. Her attitude sucks. She’s mean, bossy and rude. Everything with this child is a problem and I’m extremely exhausted dealing with her. Her dad isn’t around basically and I’m the primary caregiver for her. She is just combative and gives me a problem at every step getting easy for school c...

We talked and i thought things were getting better he came over today & i had asked him to watch his daughter while i go to er having bad stomach pains. He got really upset an...

I just gave birth almost a week ago. I haven't gotten more than 24 hours of sleep since he's been more. My husband helps somewhat during the day, but I do like 99% of the work and he gets to sleep 6-9 hours at night while I'm up every 30 mins because either I can't sleep or I get up to check on. him. He's been want...

I've been the sole caregiver putting my LO to sleep since he was born. He's breastfed and up until 6 months he wasn't aware who put him to sleep but after 6 months he refused to sleep with anyone but me. I still BF so he's extremely attached. Everytime my husband tried to put him to sleep he rejects him by pushing ...

Does anyone else have issues with their in laws? Specifically father in laws. I feel like it’s not as common to have issues with the father but boy is mine a piece of work! Every time something good happens in our lives my husband’s dad always makes it about him. He doesn’t have boundaries and sure as hell doesn’t r...

I’m feeling a bit guilty about Christmas and want to know if I’m being a bit unfair. I’ve a step daughter aged 6 and a baby girl aged 6 months. They share a room and baby girl will be moving into the room in the new year when she’s about 8 months. The room is a good size and we’ve just redecorated it with input fr...

Ugh I’m frustrated right now. So my fiance started a new job about a month ago as an HVAC apprentice, and today he told me he called this guy lazy and kind of told him off because he half assed something. It made me upset, and kinda mad because he complains that this other guy he works with is a hot head and doesn’t...

My man will absolutely house anything you being into the house— he ate nearly all of our sons chocolate from halloween. So I bought more to replace it for our son, he then ate all of that. I got extremely frustrated, bought another bag and then hid it from him. Yesterday, I buy xmas cookies to bake with my son. Y’al...

So after a particularly hard day (2 year old with a chest infection, 20 weeks pregnant and killer headache) sat here reflecting and feeling like a dead rubbish mum! Usually got quite a fair bit of patience but my 2 year old is going through a stage of hitting and kicking and it's really hard. I'm forever trying the ...

Anyone else's little one struggling with nursery? She cries and cries when i leave her and often while there and calls out for me which breaks my heart. Everytime i collect her i see her sobbing through the doors. She also wont eat or sleep while there 😭 She's only in one full day a week, could this be why? Maybe…

I know I’m going to get some negative feedback from this post calling me “lazy or dirty” which is fine because I know I’m not and would never allow me and my children to live in filth , My s/o is very lazy does not like to clean he is quick to make messes but doesn’t think twice about cleaning up we used to get in v...

My 14 month old is recovering from RSV and my nanny insist on taking her out of the house from 11am-140pm. Idk why it’s bothering me so much but I feel like she should be resting so she can fully recover. I told her it’s fine for her to take her on an hour walk, but not much longer. This isn’t the first time she’s t...

As I grow bigger, more tired, achey and lethargic I just don’t have the energy to keep the house looking the way I usually do. I enjoy doing the chores around the house and maintaining a clean home. But these days it’s just too hard to keep it up. I’m trying to accept that this is just kind of how it’s going to be f...

AITA for being upset that my husband wants to go to a party this Saturday when I'm working and bring our twin 16 month olds with him when everyone is going to be getting drunk and then staying overnight at said party with my babies 3 hours away from me??? I don't feel comfortable with it and I've told him and he say...
