Partners mum

Hi really random , has anyone had a situation where your partner is the last sibling adult in the house and has it ever caused problems? Because he argues with her constantly to the point it started to sound like she wants ownership over everything he does . He can’t do anything without her getting pissed off . Or h...

I’m too tired to formulate coherent thoughts. So if someone could please explain this to my husband why what he did was bad, that would be great 😆

I’m SAHM, he helps 5-10% with child care and household. Even though he works from home. Today is Saturday, he’s off work, this morning our toddler was having tantrums and crying for a bit. As I was changing his explosive diarrhea, my husband comes in (I was relieved he was up and thought he heard the screams and wa...

Overly friendly toddler

I’m worried about my toddler and even more worried now what I read online. My toddler tends to love hugging strangers and would go and grab on them or want to be picked up by them. Online apparently this is Disinhibited social engagement disorder (DSED ) and it’s caused by a lack attachment to caregiver . Does thi...

Would you be okay with this?

I’m ready to start working out again and I took my baby to the gym daycare for the first time today. When I picked him up they told me he cries the whole time (an hour) and he was doing that breathy sob thing when I got him in my arms) I understand there is an adjustment period. That said my son (11 months) is very...

I pay everything a...

I feel so heavy

feel so heavy. Lost, lonely. I am always upset, angry, or sad and crying. I eat because my body needs to, but have no taste for anything. I don't feel for anything. The motion to keep going is harder and harder. I do not see the end point. I know my children needs me, but they need a better version of me. I'm in a...

What would you expect?

Hi, I'd really appreciate some opinions on this. I feel like my partner just follows me around observing rather than actually participating in things. Like we went to the beach a few weeks ago, and he just sat there with his socks and shoes on and didn't really do anything while I showed our daughter the sea, took h...

Overstimulated boy mum

My little boy is 2 years and 7 months. He is so sweet and funny but my god his energy levels are crazy! I know you're not supposed to entertain your kids 24/7 and it's okay for them to get bored. But I feel like if I don't plan things with my son and have activities planned when we're at home he just wants to climb ...

Ever wanted to karate chop a child in the playground?

Took my lo (20mo’s) to the park and she was waiting patiently to go on this spinny thing. A girl (8/9) was on it, then jumped off, but as soon as my daughter started to go towards it, this horrible little girl ran and jumped on it again. She did this 5/6 times and it was really starting to PMO. What do you do in tho...

I am here, because I need to vent, my husband and I are separated for about 2 months, living in the same apartment still, waiting to move out, more to the story

I wanted to separate for many reasons, I told him I forgave him but I am broken and I don’t think I can’t do this marriage anymore. (We have tried to reconcile, but I could not) I normally bring my kid to sleep with me on the bed so he can have the kids room, (he works night) - so this Friday i forgot. So my ex c...

I don’t know what to do anymore.

Before we had a child, my husband was incredibly sweet and romantic—our relationship was full of affection, tenderness, and that lovey-dovey magic that made me feel so close to him. But ever since we became parents, something in his attitude shifted. Now, when I ask him to do something, even in a normal tone, he sna...
