So I say I take care of all household stuff and toiletries and he says that nothing compared to what I do. Mind you we have two kids and he doesn't help with them at all, all he does is pay the bills not saying it's anything wrong with that but how he said it was so rude to me and now he's telling me he needs me to ...

I’ve been the primary parent then single parent, bread winner, chef, maid, laundress, everything since pregnancies and now that they’re older (5+) I feel like I’ve hit a wall. A wall of exhaustion, depression, and I hate to say it, not caring. I still love them and would do anything for them, but I don’t want to p...

He helps watch the oldest when he's home or has a day off, but that's all he does, just watch her. I remind him to get her up, I put her down for nap/bedtime, I feed her all her meals, ...

I need some hope (or a reality check)… my partner (28yo) is a a bit of a mess. Our first baby is due next month and he is immature and irresponsible in so many ways (I’m aware I should’ve paid more attention to this when deciding to keep the baby but I have to make do with the situation now). He can’t hold down a jo...

Apparently I’m a bad mother for relying on Drs to prescribe medication and antibiotics for my child when she is sick.
