Hey mamas! A first time mum to a 4 month old and I'm struggling with everything! I'm physically sick with the flu and have a baby that frequently needs me throughout the day and night. My husband works hard and long hours, leaves at 6:45 am and is home close to 8:30pm. He's exhausted and so am I but I just feel alot...

Yo, im gonna say this. Might get back lash/aggressive comments. But it needs to be said. If your kids don't get on your dam nerves or annoy the shit out of you. Are they really your kids?🤣 Do you spend enough time with them? 😂🤣 asking for a friend 🤪🤣

I'm feeling really upset and resentful toward my husband, and I'm not sure if my feelings are valid. He keeps telling me that I'm overreacting and exaggerating, but I can't shake how I feel. One time, his sibling came over with their son, and our kids were playing together. They ended up in one of the rooms, and I t...

If your parents or your in laws were the only family/friends you had around you within driving distance, but they both worked- would you expect them to still see their grandkids on the evenings/weekends? How involved would you think they should be…? I’m wondering because my in laws work (one part time one full time)...

My 2 and half year old is all of a sudden waking up screaming crying at 12pm every night wanting to get in the big bed (our bed) he’s never slept in our bed before so I don’t know why all of a sudden he’s interested. He usually sleeps from 7 till 8 every night no wake ups so it’s all new to us🙈😴When he first…

I’m pregnant and really going through a tough first trimester. I’ve barely gotten out of bed in the last couple of weeks and luckily for me hubby has had the ability to be able to step up and full time parent. My little boy is therefore spending the majority of time with just dad (a healthy dad), who’s able to take...

How much do your partners help out with little one? My partner hasn’t fed the baby, changed him, woke up in the night once since I left the hospital (my baby is 4 months now) and his excuse is always ‘you do it better’ or ‘I have work in the morning’. I’m so tired and didn’t expect to be doing this alone! Any advice...

Is anyone else’s May baby very VERY whiny or angry constantly at the moment? We’re probably coming onto a week where all we’re getting is whining or a tantrum, can’t tell you the last time I got a smile for longer than 30 seconds!! I worry he’s poorly and do lots of observations like temp etc but that’s fine. He’s g...

Every time I go to the library 99% of the kids don’t want to socialize with my daughter & then the adult always acts weird when I try to introduce my daughter to their child and encourage my daughter to say hi & socialize. Back in my home city ppl were always so friendly & social & this new city is just weird. Wha...

I love my baby so much but I miss my old life, it taking 5 minutes to get out the door, the sleep. I’ve slept 3hrs 45 mins tonight and that was broken down into 2 hours and 1hr 45 and his not slept since 4am, bottle fed and had 2 bottles in last 2.5hrs, his 13 weeks. There’s no one to help me with the nights and I h...

Does anyone else feel having a child with their spouse would have been different than the way it’s going? For example I’m the one who’s been stay up my daughter at night since day one and always doing everything for her

I’m a horrible mother. HORRIBLE. My son does independent play everyday. And im either on my phone or watching tv. When he ask to play, I do play but it gets challenging after a while because he starts to fuss or cry. My son is 2 he doesn’t speak but I understand what he’s saying (its a bilingual household so I’m ass...

Hello, I don’t know what to do. I currently had my son on 1/31 and have a 5 year old and a 16month old. I found out that my boyfriend has been cheating on me with my “friend”. When I confronted him about it we got into a huge fight and he told me he wants me out of the house. But I don’t have anywhere to go, don’t h...

I’m feeling guilty over the simplest and smallest thing. I wanted to order a necklace that has tiny little charms on it with my children’s first initial. I have two step kids as well. Whom I love and adore. However, I am not their biological mother and I want this necklace for just me and my kids for something spec...

So we do less than an hour of screen time a day. Usually 15-20 minutes in the morning & the same in the afternoon usually before dinner or after. Some days it’s even none! & it is only on the TV, no personal screens. It is usually Ms Rachel or super simple songs, nothing crazy. Lately my toddler has been saying “w...

Baby is three weeks old and exclusively breastfed although I am expressing during the day and using this to top up his feed before bed (otherwise their is no end to his evening cluster feeds). Interested to know how other couples are ‘sharing the load’. My other half went back to work this week and whilst I get he ...
