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...

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...

So I’m a sahm to a 9 mo and obviously watch my baby during the day. Since my baby is not good at sitting in high chair without food present and our kitchen is in a separate part of the house not attached to living room or playroom, I usually ask my husband to look after our baby while I prepare dinner and prep for f...

Bub is 1 year. I’m starting work next week-but paid all bills and groceries, except mortgage while on leave Hubs helps with bub but mostly when asked. He has to ask 10000 questions if I ask him to prep bubs dinner since we try to rotate who makes our dinner, but even if he makes ours, I have to make bubs most of th...

13 weeks in and nothing is getting any easier. My baby won’t go to sleep before midnight and even after this he won’t without a fight - he was going 4-5 hours overnight at one point but now lucky to go 2-3. He fights all his naps all day long. I follow sleep cues, keep an eye on wake windows. Keep him busy and e...
