Urgh I need advice, I returned to work last week and I’m so lucky that I can work from home but the expectation is 1-2 days a week in the office. I went today before my LB woke up and got back at 6:30pm and he was so tired that he had just gone to sleep. I feel so sad that I haven’t seen him today and can’t imagine ...

The one I know and try to do is a load of laundry every day. When I stick to it my life is a lot easier.

I feel terrible posting this 😭 please give me some grace. I have 2 under 3 ... My youngest is only 5 Months but was 2 months premature. So I feel like the newborn stage is like ground hog day at this point. My new baby also has a completely different temperament to my first boy. He is extremely hard work 😞 I feel…

No judgemental comments genuinely just looking for advice. There’s this guy with additional needs I’d chat to him sometimes when seen him in street etc. then a few times he tagged along with me to shops (I never asked but didn’t have the heart to say not to come with me. Anyway he stays near me and is constantly wa...

I feel really annoyed with my husband. He is very loving and he's great with baby, but I just need a rant. Baby is now crawling and pulling self up to stand and is in everything at the moment! Today I have baked a cake for husbands grandma who we are seeing later in the week for her birthday, cooked a nice dinner fo...

My son has been going through it lately, and I've been doing my best but the last few days I feel like I'm going to break. He's pushing boundaries, resisting, throwing tantrums. I understand it's all normal part of development, but I'm struggling and don't have much of a village. Today, we had a big morning, and we ...

Why don't men get that we lose ourselves to being a sahm. That having to meet our children's needs from birth is not something that easily goes away. Then add more more children to the equation, adds more needs to be met. At least until the age of 3 do they start showing some independence, but it's still small. The...

My sister told me I'd be abusing any child I bring into the world being a disabled mum when I told her I was having trouble conceiving but wanted a child. I continued to speak to her because I respected her opinion and was loyal to her. Her son who is the same age as me messed up his relationship, lied, smoked drugs...

Seem to be really struggling with myself at the moment. Sounds gross but I haven't properly cleaned the house in months, just lost all effort to do anything at all. Baby dad comes back from work and just sits on his phone and does fuck all. So it's then getting left to me all the time. I dont know what's happened to...

My 20mth old has always been such a good boy. The past 4 weeks I've noticed his tantrums were getting a little more intense. Now as he has a tantrum after not getting his way he will pull hair etc....its been awhile since I've dealt with this stuff....my oldest has horrible behavior issues. Different father. I just ...

How did you go back to work? Did you stick around for a day or two or a week to help with the transition or did you just leave cold Turkey? Does staying around make the baby more anxious or confused? I have a Velcro baby. And I just want what’s best for her. Hearing her cry really upsets me. Rant: I have a friend...

How are you ladies getting by without help with twins and a toddler? My mom been helping me but now she’s going through some sort of crisis that she needs to driving my daughter to school, and she doesn’t get time to herself, or the house isn’t in order. I literally have a hard time moving out the bed, and soon won’...

Anyone else find themselves crying during the day? I honestly must cry about three times a day about different stuff. I’m starting to feel really isolated as I’m scared to leave the house with him at the moment. My day consists of washing up, getting baby to sleep or crying. I feel like I don’t have time for anythin...

I need some help. I need to know if im acting insane or if im right for acting the way i am. Long story short, im with someone who has 2 boys (6 and 2) to someone else. I have 2 boys who have no contact with their father. The mother to my partners children lives with her mum. My partner lives with me and stays at ...

Rant incoming: I just entered my 3rd trimester, 29 weeks couple days. My MIL was always crossing boundaries before I got pregnant but it has gotten to the point where my phone is on DND all day, every day just to avoid her the past 8 weeks. We live in separate units in the same house where I don’t need to see her w...

So this guy asked me for money what should I do tell him I just paid all my bills and I don’t have it until the next day cause I don’t want nobody to be running over me and that’s OK. I don’t want nobody to date me for my money cause that’s not OK. I feel so disrespectful and when somebody asked me, but it’s OK to h...

It irks me every time. Anyone else?

So we have a bit open plan downstairs, I struggle to get the floor done properly during the week with working full time and other things that need doing. It’s laminate flooring all the way through apart from the rug we have down. Anyway I was wondering if anyone has one of these or something similar? Do you find it’...

I am resenting my husband too much. I don’t even recognise myself now. I am so cold towards him even though I know he needs support as well. I know it’s not him it’s me I feel like I am completely different from myself I don’t know how to be myself. It’s been a year with my baby he is so supportive but still I feel ...

I can’t even do dinner till my partners home from work most days because of baby crying, we then also split duties one baths baby and other helps other child (7years) etc. I can’t help but feel annoyed that I’m goin...
