Hi my daughter has had 2 settles at nursery and each time I've gone the other babies in the room have been screaming, hysterical crying obviously tired/due a feed but it makes me so upset to know that my daughter will probs do the same on the daily.

As the title says..partner (if I can even call him that), and I have hardly spoken for over a week (he’s sulking because he didn’t get a physical bday gift from me). I have given him a shopping trip for September but he’s complaining he had nothing to open on the day (he did as bought gifts on behalf of the children...

Does your partner play with the kids? Go outside or have independent play with them? My husband does not and i brought this to his attention and he doesnt seem to understand that hes not a babysitter, hes a father!

My husband is 37 and cannot get his “piece” hard when we try to be intimate. He says itll easily get hard if he watches p#%n. He says im the problem. 😢

So lately I’ve been just feeling so distance and disconnected from my husband. I feel like we are living 2 totally different lives, I’m a mom full time, I work full time (I take the kids with me, I’m a caregiver for a family member) and do online school every night. He works night shifts, so he sleeps all day. But i...

I am sitting here just sad. Every night, I am so sad that the day is over and my baby is growing up (3 months). I am sad that I have work tomorrow and I’m going to be away from him. I can’t overcome this sadness. It’s like clock work every single night. As soon as he goes to bed for the night, I am overcome with so ...

My relationship with my Dad is complicated (and since when is that unusual? Lol) complicated not for the normal reasons, but because he is inconsistent. Ghosts me often then circles back around and is helpful. This has been his thing for the last 15 years and for various reasons. The most reason one caused some tens...

So SD 10 we have on a 223 schedule and bm is very petty and hc. We try to ignore it but I get so sick of her causing issues to be difficult. She needs to control everything and she wants it to seem to sd like “you PACK A BAG to have a SLEEPOVER at DADS HOUSE. Because You DONT LIVE THERE. that is NOT your HOME. THIS ...

So my sister asked if I could babysit my niece, and normally it’s not an issue, but she plans on going out of town for vacation for 3 days. And asked if I could stay at her house. But I have a man (my bd) and I don’t think he’d like me away for 3 days, also, I don’t think I would wanna be away for that long either. ...

They destroy everythingggggg. I was at an airbnb that my friend offered to me recently with my toddler and I was like too afraid to let him do anything because everything was absolutely luxurious. It was a taster for me for when I get out from living with family with my toddler but my family doesn't seem to care abo...

Boyfriend says I’m a burden onto him. Because I live in a fucked up situation with my parents (which I do) and it’s hard for me to get out on my own with my 2 kids so we had a plan to get a place ever since February. But he keeps changing the plane and claims I expect him to do everything and I did at the time becau...

Am I being selfish? I get some partners probably got far less than me but I was expecting a different kind of effort from mine. So on Saturday, I got up and left the house in the morning, took my daughter to my Mums and I went and got my nails done. My partner left the house a couple hours after I did to go to wor...

Our friends have booked for me & my husband to have 2 nights away next week, which is lovely but I have so much mum guilt I want to cancel. I have a 2 year old girl & 10 month old boy. I’m not worried about leaving my 2 year old as she loves her nan & is used to us having the odd night away. But I’ve never left my 1...

My husband and I are having so much trouble. I feel like we can’t have a conversation that doesn’t end in us bickering. I can’t seem to communicate with him and my brain fog makes it so much worst. My husband also has a very specific way of talking and understanding things so it makes it more complicated for me at t...

Does anyone else have a mother in law who calls everyday lol? 🤣🤣 It's so annoying like everyday. Always wanting to ask if we're okay about 100 times like she wants us not to be okay lol. Constantly asking where I am if I haven't spoke to her in a week and makes me feel too much pressure to constantly be in contact…
