Honest, unfiltered, and in real-time: what women like you are talking about. Peanut group chats, support, and posts on Parenting.
I know that there is a lot of things that Boomer parents did wrong and millennials want to fix it and parent differently but I still feel like there is an element of "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I was talking to my boss who is a new grandma and she was saying how strange it finds it that parents these days s...

Hey mamas…I have a question about what dads or partners are doing to help you out with baby? My husband is an amazing dad but thinks I’m asking too much of him! Maybe I am so just wanted to see what other people are doing. TIA🙏
My LO is 2 months now and only seems to be super fussy and unhappy when I'm alone with him. My husband went back to work at 3 weeks so it's been primarily me taking care of my LO day and night. I'm very fortunate that my family is around often so one of them often joins me in taking care of him. The problem is, wh...
Hi! Is there someone in here that feels their privacy is being violated every time in-laws are involved? I know they're "family" but it's just that my peace is being gone every single time. How do you do it? For the record, i dont have a relationship with them. I cut my communication before giving birth. I remained ...
My fiancé really keeps saying if I don’t want to continue to be overstimulated and doing everything for the baby by myself I should put her up for adoption. Let’s not even take into account I have 3 children from my previous marriage that I have been raising on my own. Our child together is his first biological chil...
Looking for some advice from other new mummas.. I had baby a week ago today via c section and was completely surprised when I was in the recovery room and my partner advised me his dad was waiting outside in the car park, desperate to come in. He was asking to come in before we had even been given the clear from r...
I want to be clear, this is not to bash my husband and is not weaponized incompetence, he’s just a human with ADHD. I just can’t 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ in front of him because it feels mean. Today is our 5yo’s birthday and my husband posted a happy birthday message on social media with a reel of pictures…
So my toddler is about to be 3 next month and she is in an imaginative stage. I’m a SAHM and she wants to pretend play and because I’m so exhausted all the time (and honestly depressed af) I cannot work up the energy to be imaginative. I do take the time out but it’s really hard and I mostly say I can’t rn. Every ti...

I know it's not something to complain about going on holiday but I used stress myself out going on holiday before I had my daughter as I'm not organised as much as I try to be. But now I've got to prepare my things as well as hers. I'm living a nightmare in my head with how much stuff I've got to sort. For context...
Im sat here absolutely balling my eyes out, my emotions have been crazy lately but I feel so fed up. Im 27 weeks and 5 days pregnant and I am struggling so much now. I wasn’t before but now I just went from a high to a really low. I cant cope, Im so overwhelmed. The closer it gets to giving birth to more I just feel...
My 2 year old fell down our stairs today (top to bottom) and got off lightly with just a cut in her lip. I called 111 just to be sure as I was panicking due to the height and her age, but she has no injuries, not bumps, cuts a bruises and is totally normal within herself. 111 advised to go to a&e anyway to be checke...
My son currently does one a week at nursery and has since September. He does one other day with my mum. The nursery are trying to get us to do another day but I really don’t want too. They say it will help him as sometimes he has a bit of a cry when he is there (he is happy on the whole). I love our days together an...
So my partner goes to the gym Monday to Thursday from work and doesn't get back until it's bed time for our girls. I work Friday evening Saturday and Sunday and have the girls 24/7 apart from few hours one day a week. I've been voicing how I'd like to get back into the gym to which he says you can go when I get home...
What’s the longest your in-laws has gone without seeing your LO? My boy is nearly 9 months and they haven’t seen him since… BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!
So we are 3 months into our second daughter (our first one being 2). This time round it's hit us hard, we've both struggled adapting to multiples. However we've been getting more and more frustrated with one another the past couple of weeks. He has his own business and is super busy all the time. Which means I take...
