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 ...

Is it normal to feel so annoyed? Me and my partner have two children, the youngest only 3 months old. 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...

I know it’s very early days with my boy being just 9 days old. But is anyone in the same boat where the baby blues have hit them like a ton of bricks. Unfortunately, the birth was quite traumatic for me and I didn’t realise how bad it affected me till getting home. I’m able to talk about it to anyone and everyone w...

I've been invited to a family wedding. It's my husbands side of the family, so I dont neccesairly mind if I miss it. It's his aunt, but she is the same age as him (around 30). Children and babies are not allowed at the wedding. I understand. That's not a problem. Yet I have 4 children and am currently pregnant again...

So I don't know if this is an obvious thing or not. But basically my daughter is 15mo old and she is a completely different child when it's just me and her or when it's her dad and her. For example we alternate evenings so we each get a bit of a break after work. So she'll have her tea, play for a bit, bath, bottl...

Last week found out that I’m pregnant and it seems like my cats, one in particular, is now just totally obsessed with me and has to be cuddling me all the time. He’s a cuddle monster anyway, but this is excessive. And I’m trying to work from home. Maybe he can sense the hormones and knows what’s happening?

So basically my daughter's been poorly all weekend with a cough, snotty nose, temp and very lethargic. She perked up yesterday, asked for food and wanted to play etc. I said to my partner I'll see what she's like tomorrow before I chose whether to send her to nursery or not as if she just wants to be with me, I'll ...

My ENTIRE life I have been a very sensitive and emotional person, it’s who I am naturally so I feel things very deeply and I’m the type of person that will cry if someone was rude to me rather than argue back with them. I seem to spend most of my relationship crying. I have a partner that is very blunt, can be rud...

I've just broken up with my partner, we have a 15 month old. He's never had our toddler alone, and hasn't even been around the last 9 months, but is very keen to be a good dad and see LO as much as possible and has proposed 50/50 with him having LO 3/4 days a week. I want to make sure I do what's right for our chil...

My daughter has my second name and her dads second name When my mother in law writes her name she leaves out my second name. It pisses me off so fucking much

I will never apologize for taking my almost 10 month old to the ER because she has a 103 temp and eating half of what she normally does. My husband always thinks it’s always a waste of time. She’s been sick since last Monday with a fever only last week and today . He thinks I just love fuckin wasting my evening at t...

My LB starts nursery at the end of the month. We have 2 settling in sessions this week. On Thursday I'll go with him for an hour and then on Friday I leave him for an hour. I am dreading the leaving part! I want to say goodbye I don't want to just slip off but I'm worried I'll upset him more by saying goodbye. Any ...

We went on a vacation in November and my husband did most of the carrying as she refused to go in the stroller and he entertained her a lot (while I was also in the room) while I visited with my family (I speak the language he doesn’t). Even during that trip she refused to be carried by me, and ever since then she...

A lot happened but after a lost battle to alcohol, and him having anger issues (he wasnt physical or anything just got mad about everything) me and my fiance split today. I feel so lost and broken. How were we smiling for photos together yesterday and today im at an empty table and my fiance is alone at a hotel figu...
