My partner only deems spending time with our daughter when we are actively doing something Lila going for a walk or visiting a place or something. He moans about not spending time with her but then gives her to me as often as he can when she has any needs. He wants to sit and watch tv with her then complain he d...

Anyone else in the newborn trenches? I had my second baby on the 4th and he’s really struggling with wind and what we think could be reflux and/or colic. The nights are particularly hard for me as I’m up for sometimes two or more hours each time he wakes trying to settle him after a feed, trying to put him down mu...

Yes you read right he was taking a nap n I was having hard time clearing why they can’t see that we need help honestly some time I think that I will be better alone I want to make money I have my TikTok n I have a good amount of followers but I can not be consistent with content one because family don’t want to bee ...

Does anyone else feel like they have a high needs baby? My little boy is 6 months and although he sleeps through the night and can self soothe etc the day times are a struggle. He is constantly fussing, wriggling, wanting to stand. He can sit up independently but hates it and just whinges or fusses when he can’t ...

Hey Guys, I am having a small problem with the nursery at the moment. My son accidentally damaged a book in class and apparently he immediately stop when they asked him to. They asked me to pay £5. I feel it's unfair because this is normal developmentally for a 2.8 year old. They said he didn't do it on purpose. ...

So my partner opened the fridge today and commented on the old food in there. So I said "you could clean it out" to which he responded "I work 5 days a week". WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD SAY THAT TO SOMEONE WHOS HOME WITH A FOUR YEAR OLD AND A BABY AND HASN'T SLEPT IN SEVEN MONTH. WHY NOT JUST CLEAN THE FRIDGE INSTEAD...

Me and my partner currently live with his parents by choice, and at first everything was lovely and going well until my MIL started passing remarks. The first time it happened I didn’t not pay her attention and simply ignored it until unnoticed that each time that I greeted her she’d ignore me and would not speak to...

Baby boy is battling his third ear infection and it’s really taking a toll on the both of us. I’m thankful I was off on Thursday and able to take today off to take care of him but whenever he gets sick it gets super lonely for me and causes a lot of anxiety, just worried about him and feeling like I have to hold eve...

I love my kids but sometimes I become extremely overstimulated and overwhelmed by them. I work full time with children who have autism and when I get home, I am exhausted but I try my best to give all three of my kids undivided attention all while cooking dinner, cleaning, etc. I utilized that time to engage with th...

Sorry for posting this here but I’m overthinking everything and just wanted some advice (or someone to tell me if I’m being a bit of a b*tch) I’m a stay at home mum and my husband is in the military, he’s always really busy and works hard and works late so we don’t see him much - mainly on weekends if he’s home. I...

So the 2 back fences between me and the neighbour got blown out 2 years ago by a windy storm. Since the support are broken and unstable, I've spoken about us both putting on money to buy new fencing (I'm on my own with a 5 Yr old so I didn't expect them to pay for it I asked for them to help pay for our fencing) so...

I want to vent (it’s a long one) First off I’ve been staying home since march of 2023 after I lost my job and I was also expecting my son who is now a year and a half. My daughter is 3 and a half and big handful lol. One person told me she has the energy for 2 kids.. I say yeah, no it’s more like 5 lol. It’s been r...

My 4yo is just so extreme. He will be good playing with his sister then when she says she’s done he whips her in the face with the stuffy they were playing with. They were playing scratching each others back and he f cking scratched up her back where it scraped her making her bleed. He even teases the baby like she ...

I know this is a nice group so just wanted to ask a question regarding my older child if that's ok 🙏 She is 6 and doing a drama show tomorrow but it's like a big full scale production at a proper theatre which I wasn't really expecting when I signed her up, I thought it would just be drama and a little performance…

Hey everyone, I’m really struggling atm I only have the one child, she’s super independent yet super clingy/needy with me at the same time. She doesn’t go to nursery, I work around her so she always has access to me pretty much all the time. I just feel like she just takes takes takes literally everything I have to ...

I hate confrontation. A work colleague sent me a really rude text on Monday evening. I took a few days to think if I wanted to respond or take action. I couldn’t shake it off. My industry is male dominant so I feel like some of the men I deal with don’t look at me as an equal. I sent a long email today. I was profes...

My husband has been really supportive and today 6 weeks pp, we went out for some friends in the afternoon and it was the first time he was drinking since a couple of weeks before I gave birth. Being that it is the weekend, and that throughout the week I will not waking up to help with the baby as he has work, I didn...

My partner and I have been together almost two years and we never fight. Our little girl is now 6 weeks and he keeps snapping at me when it’s his turn to take care of her (we take shifts at night time). I’ve noticed that between 9pm and 11pm our little one seems to cry non stop so I offered to stay up with him tonig...

Do you let your 3 year old run off on their own at the park out of your sight? We were at a party at a splash park and when we arrived the other mum said her little boy is somewhere in the park. And freely let him just run off wherever he wanted. Personally that send chills down my spine just thinking about it and w...

Mamas, I really just need to feel like I have someone in my corner right now. My husband texted me today and told me he wants a divorce. I’m mentally and emotionally going through it and just need a reminder that I will make it through this.
