I also have two young kids which all the responsibility is currently falls on me also go work. So my husband was saying we will need to eat red meat today or tomorrow and we should plan the day.

My little boy is refusing meals and has for a while, rarely naps at home in his cot so results in driving him round but always naps beautifully in childcare and lastly will refuse to have his teeth brushed without being hysterical. I feel like I’m failing as a parent and cant even get the basics right ☹️

So I bought this really cute (& expensive) plate & bowl set after we recently moved. Tonight while loading the dishwasher, I noticed one was missing. I looked all around the kitchen, in the fridge, in the freezer, in the bedrooms, pretty much anywhere I could think of where a plate might be. It’s no where to be foun...

most likely i have ppd. i come to my boyfriend in hope for support and he goes “why do you always cry?” “you’re always sad” feels like i have no support system. i want to start an argument so bad but im too mature for that. it feels like im fighting this battle alone.

My bf is a good bf but he’s always getting upset over the smallest things. I’m also starting to have doubts. Now let me get into what I mean. 1. We were at the store and a buggy was in the middle of the lot. A fire truck was driving towards it so I walked maybe 3 cars away to move it and he got mad cause I walked aw...

Me and my bd haven’t spoken since the ending of September, I decided to do some boredom investigating and came to the conclusion that he’s talking to someone new.

My husband’s grandmother is 99 and we haven’t heard from Her and tried calling all week and she never answered the phone. His parents never call and check on her ever.

For context, they ruined last Christmas for me when I was newly postpartum and I don’t want to spend Christmas with them again so I’m absolutely not going.

Just moved into a new house and the countertop already has a stain from coffee pot

If my sons dad works part time and goes to uni part time does that mean I won’t get child maintenance if I go online to do it? I can only see information saying that if they’re in full time then they don’t have to pay but doesn’t say anything about part time so assuming that means part time doesn’t count? My bd gi...

Today I get the email that our phone bill is late. He's supposed to be the one paying that monthly. But he keeps making late payments and it stresses me out every time I see that email. His credit card was also briefly frozen due to a new charge and the bank was like "hold up, is this fraud?" (It wasn't) He didn't ...

Last Christmas was my son’s first Christmas. We spent Christmas eve with my husband’s family and I chose to baby wear to avoid people trying to hold baby and pass him around. It ended up being very awkward, people talked about me behind my back and I got some rude comments. What I felt should’ve been one of the best...

So I would have to be a clown to marry into a family that obviously doesn’t want me apart of right? My future in-laws don’t care about me. They haven’t gotten to know me and that was made very obvious at Christmas. It’s been a decade. They’ve had plenty of time to get to know me but have made little to no effort. Mo...
