Myself and my partner both work full time with an 19 month old l, despite raising constant concerns he thinks it’s acceptable to go to the pub until 7pm every night (weekend times vary) im not entirely sure what time he gets in there between 3.30 and 4? it’s caused so many arguments! As I am left doing everything! A...

Hi guys I need some advice please. My daughter goes to nursery 2 days a week. I work very long shifts 12 hours 3 days a week. So in a morning and evening her dad looks after her taking her to nursery and doing bedtime after. Recently she has started to become very very unsettled in a morning and at bedtime for her...

I’ve got my June baby and also my second baby who is nearly 12 weeks old. I’m finding it really hard when my husband is at work in terms of feeling overwhelmed, especially when he’s on nights like tonight. They’ve both been screaming at the same time and I feel like my heads gonna explode. My toddler is really testi...

Hi mummas We have moved to Uk 3 n half yrs back. My LG is 3 yrs old and going to nursery since she is 1 n half yrs old. One of her friend is always calling her - you are black and you are different. My LG doesn’t look like calling her black tbh but she’s Asian (can accept she looks little brown but she’s a bit fair...

My 3 year old knows we’re due to have another baby, and he’s having a baby brother. It’s not something we talk about 24/7, when he mentions it we’ll engage in conversation but it’s not spoken about constantly as I’ve never wanted him to feel any other way just because I’m pregnant. Tonight he has said “why have yo...

Being the default parent is exhausting and freaking sucks🙁 Everything is always just put on me and I’m expected to do and take care of everything. I need a break but we have no money and when we do have money I feel like there’s more important stuff for it to be spent on🙃

I don’t know if I’m just crazy or how can this conversation go like this.. we are watching TV, eating dinner having a nice time. On the dating show we are watching a guy asked “what is love or how is it to be in love?”. And my partner of 4,5 years, that I have a child with says “what is love? I don’t think I know wh...

Anyone else just not able to put their little one down at the mo? Literally he just wants me to carry him round the house. Doesn’t want anyone but me. I can’t even sit down or he starts crying even if I’m still holding him. I’m pretty sure he’s not ill, just clingy. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Me and partner are going out tomorrow and LG is being looked after by my mum and dad. We are at a family party tonight as we have been away at my mum and dad’s house. As I’m BF I don’t want to leave LG two nights in a row. I said it makes sense we stay there tonight instead of going back and forth with her. Partner ...

How do you guys get your workouts in regularly. My son is 13 months old and I tried waking up early and going to the gym before his dad goes to work and I liked doing that but this past week & 1/2 he’s been getting up early so I can’t leave ( and he’s sick too )😭 His dad comes home around 5pm and I just absolutely…

My sister came downstairs while I was changing my daughter's diaper. She asked if she could hold her and I told her I was almost done changing her but she was going to need a bottle. Baby started crying because she was hungry and my sister just starred making fun of her. I told my sister she was hungry. When I finis...

Guys. I’m at a loss. I hate waking up every morning and having to be with him all day. All he does is whine, winge & cry all day. Nothing is wrong and he’ll cry. Something is wrong, I’ll fix it, and he cries. I’m currently looking to go back to work just to get away from him. I’m scared that I’ll put him in danger ...

Anyone’s toddler become an absolute nightmare these last couple weeks. My little boy has started smacking, biting and being very destructive all of a sudden. Everything is ‘mine’ or ‘no’ I feel like I’m at my wits end. He’s also started being very harsh towards his 1 year old brother, biting him and pushing him! I k...

Recently my toddler has been doing some very undesirable things while I put the baby down. It doesn’t matter if it take 10 minutes or I get nap trapped or even go pee alone (sometimes she won’t follow me). She will seize any opportunity to tear things apart, dump jars out and just make a huge mess if my house isn’t ...

I have 3 under one currently , I have 7 week old twins and a girl who’s turning 1 on a few weeks. So I’m managing pretty well , I have my partner who works self employed and floats in and out of the house , my morning routine consists of feeding all the kids putting them in hair chairs / bouncers and tiding up the h...

Honestly I'm just fed up. I dread weekends, I'm fed up of SD, fed up of BM. SD has been so clingy since our daughter was born. It's been 6 months now and it's just exhausting. She tells us all she loves us by name every minute - that is no exaggeration. She gets up and follows us without saying anything so when yo...

So my story starts with the fact this man pulled a g*n on himself over an argument about him simply misspeaking and me clarifying. Of course I’m 3 1/2 months pregnant at the time, so I left because I wasn’t going to stay for the next argument and him pulling it on me. I literally left all my belongings because every...

I have a 7 month old and she’s is such a joy to have in my life. I’m 35 and conscious that I don’t have much time to wait years if I consider a 2nd baby. When I was pregnant and gave birth I was very much 1 and done whereas my hubby would have liked to have a 2nd but respect that it’s my body going through this. Now...

My boyfriend (LO father) has just taken our LO out for a couple hours so i can get some rest because i have a migraine. This is only the second time I’ve been away from my LO. The first was a couple days ago when my boyfriend took our LO to see his mum for a few hours. I feel like I’m missing a chunk of me and my ...
