This is something I never thought I'd post because I've always been 'one and done'. But lately, I watch my son play with other children and instantly feel guilty he doesn't have a sibling. However, I had a HORRIFIC time after birth, I'm genuinely surprised I'm here to even write this message. My son's father (who I...

So whenever we are coming to visit grandma she’ll be waiting next to the door and as soon as I enter she’ll grab the baby from my hand without permission, I understand she’s excited but I hate it and my son doesn’t like it either he needs few minutes to observe the place or people. Today it happened again she was go...

Anyone else kinda regretting sending their little one to nursery? 😪 We started our 3 year old at the school nursery class of the primary school we want to send him to in January, he does the full 30 hours. Worth noting that we have a newborn too. He's such a homebird, any time we ask him what he wants it's always…

The secret was about my brother in law ( her brother) It was very disturbing and concerning. But here is the thing this new secret makes a connection with the secrets I already knew and it also makes a connection with other things i know. Putting everything together is just very dark.

How do you cope when both baby and toddler require your attention at the same time? How do you pick which to sort out first?

Husband’s away for work and I’m in day 3 out of 4 solo parenting my 2 boys…this feels like an Olympic sport. Any tips on surviving? Besides pouring myself a full glass of wine 😅

My bd got mad at me bc I took our daughter out her crib when she’s wide awake and needed a diaper change and he gon say “ i thought we was crib training” like we’re crib training her and she’s doing fine up in there but I feel like if she’s wide awake and talking nd babbling she shouldn’t be up in there unless she’s...

Ik this isn’t the right group but I kinda need to vent before I end up calling him crying for him. My daughters father ended up cheating and finding someone else a few weeks ago and told me I either agreed with the polygamist relationship or don’t and told the new girl we weren’t and aren’t dating. Man oh man was th...

Before you read on, I just want to ask that if you are not someone using gentle/conscious/responsive parenting techniques, I'd rather you DO NOT comment.

Is anyone on here consider themselves messy? How do i overcome it? Me and my partner are both quite messy (always have been) and mess around the house doesn’t bother any of us.

All of his kids are grown except 3.. one of the three is about to be 18 this year so he will just have 2 under 18. I only have 1 child under 18 right now and he’s 16. All of this to say.. I don’t think my husband...

My dad was a shit dad. Not gonna sugar coat. He cheated on my mum for their whole marriage, was abusive verbally and sometimes physically towards us, and then he was estranged from us for years. We reconnected after a few years of no contact (both my choice), but my siblings do not talk to him and at the most will r...

Anybody else get extremely irritated when your family comes to town & you try to explain to them that your baby has been sleeping poorly & that they’re exhausted & just not in a good mood & they’re like “he will be fine.. he has to learn how to be around other people or he won’t know how to act”… like no if he’s not...
