My husband has no manners literally doesn’t give a shit what he’s doing or how he Is looking, I don’t usually ever care about stuff like this but it’s getting to the point it’s actually a bit of a put off😫 he sounds like an actual animal when he eats chewing with his mouth open to the point now I can’t sit and eat…

I asked my husband if he could clean the downstairs toilet. For context It’s a tiny downstairs toilet with a toilet and a small basin. His immediate response was “do I have to do it now”. And then “what exactly do you want me to do?”. I said no, not right now, and I just want you to give it a once over. This was a...

I met my guy just over two years ago. We were basically inseparable from the moment we met. Our sex life, great. We moved in together got married and now expecting our first. Suffice to say, so much has happened in this amount of time. However, lately he has stated his concerns about the change in my libido, he beli...

Y'all already know we've been having some problems with our new apartment. Well this morning our heat went out. It's the end of November in Ohio, it's pretty cold. I have 2 under 2, the youngest being only 4mo. I called the office about it and an hour later the maintenance man showed up. He'd been here for a little ...

I know no one’s licensed so I’m not expecting a diagnosis but just to vent and get some input for anyone willing to listen. I have been diagnosed with depression a few times in the past and taken prescription but I guess I’m confused now because it’s not like anything I’ve experienced in the past. I often find mysel...

Anyone already gone back to work or going to work soon? I’m getting pretty nervous. It’s rare that my baby will fall asleep for naps unless he is nursing. And then when he does fall asleep he dream feeds or he wakes up. I’m worried that baby won’t sleep enough and my boyfriend won’t know how to handle it. He already...

So I just found out that my baby dad may have another child on the way. We’re not together. Recently split up. Baby girls 11 months old. And I don’t know how to feel. I’m so shocked. But explains a lot as to what he was doing while I was doing everything majority of the time by myself. I’m highly embarrassed, never ...

I’m 5 days postpartum. I feel like such a bad mom. My 2 year old has been acting up for a while now but him not listening is frustrating me. How do you teach your older child without yelling or lashing out?

Why do cold callers come to your house at the most inconvenient times and then pressure you into changing providers and are sneaky about it and somehow always managed to convince you to sign up blah blah. Pretty much what happened to me tonight and was meant to have a nice night with partner and kids before work an...

Is anyone else’s baby just constantly crying or whinging? My LB is 5 months old and I love him more than anything in the world but it’s really starting to get to me. I feel like I’m doing everything I should be, but he never seems happy. If he is happy it’s great but it doesn’t last very long at all. I honestly hate...

I have a 5 year old daughter who started kindergarten this year. She has always had some behavioral issues but recently it has been so bad at school with her. She has a lot of good days, but within the past week, she’s had 3 days where she’s had major outbursts. She’ll hide under the table, kick chairs, throw them &...

Can anyone recommend a decent thick rug that's easy to clean? Preferably budget friendly We have wood flooring downstairs and it's quite cold, little one obviously sits on the floor alot and our current rug has seen better days and food constantly gets stuck in the hair!

If so please reply! I have had my sister in my care for about a year now and I would love to be able to talk to someone who can relate and understand 🙂

I will sit and play with my lil boy and read to him and stuff a couple of times a day but sometimes he sits and bum snuggles round and plays with his things himself and I'll sit and watch my program while he's doing so or get a few things done, I just feel bad sometimes that I'm leaving him to play but at the same t...

Feel like they can never ever get ahead of the laundry? This officially has lived on my couch for the last two months now and I am just exhausted… the laundry never stops. Do you think anyone stops to put their shots together? No, they leave them there and wait for me to do it. I’ve asked multiple times for my partn...

I used to work 5 days a week, since the last month I cut my working days to 3 days a week. Which means my salary is almost cut in half. I still get a lot of LO food, groceries, nappies myself alot of the times. Hubby pays when we go out etc too but when I’m home and ordering deliveries from uber eats (groceries) I t...

My own mum has always been a bit erm much with my son. I know it comes from the heart but since he’s turned two she’s took it upon herself to take charge whilst we’re out. For clarity she’s an amazing mum and nan and I appreciate her dearly. We are however two different people in the way we approach situations. ...

My in laws have only seen our baby twice since she was born. They do live a few hours away but are both retired. Am I right to think they get should be making more effort?!

Am I being unreasonable? Everytime we make a plan to do something my partner asks his best friend to join, it’s like the first thing he says “I’ll ask … if he wants to join” which okay I don’t mind but a lot of the time it’s things we could do as a family or nice days out. Well for my partners birthday I said we co...
