I’m a FTM to a 7 month old. My husband works 9-6, and gets home around 7.30 each day ( in office 3 times a week) Baby goes to sleep at 8.30, so he barely spends any time with her during the week. I do night time routine and feeds. I also do all the night wake ups, baby is breast fed during the night. On the days he ...

Does he have a point or do you think his over reacting ? So I live on the 3rd floor and when you look out of my front room and bedroom windows all you can see is the opposite flat same rooms as mine My BF is constantly moaning about me having the curtains open even in the day There isn’t much natural light as it...

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...

Hey moms how do you deal with missing out on activities that you used to really enjoy doing that you can no longer do? *Specifically* my husband is going snowboarding and I am at home with our son. The obvious answer would be get a babysitter and go with him but we don’t want to leave him with anybody unless it’s ...

My partner literally does nothing but complain he's tired, when he sleeps all night, might do one feed if I'm lucky, isn't very patient with the baby

How much you hate your husband's family. I am disappointed in their behaviour so many times. And never had any fight with them. Family means mostly my mom in law and brother in law.

I can't help but hate myself for shouting at my child, it's killing me. I keep it in all day and evening time I explode and I feel so awful about it. I love my son but he's behaviour is out of hand some times, he constantly wants my phone and keeps crying and moaning g for it, he won't let me look after him properly...

I feel like the worst mother ever posting this but does anyone miss their pre baby relationship. I love my son more than anything and wouldn't change my life now for the world but I am finding it hard. It's a Friday night and my husband and I planned a date night at home, nothing special just a bottle of wine and a ...

She detests being warm. So much so I found my self with a screaming baby when I was out and I knew it was because I’d dared to put a thinly knitted cardigan over the top of her baby grow. She’d never in a million years put up with those fluffy onesies or snow suits. The other night we had to take her for a pram wal...

I feel so embarrassed after my husband just shouted at me in front of his parents. He is in the middle of doing a fitness diet and plan which he is following religiously. I’m currently early weeks pregnant and was hungry after not managing to eat much through the day so I was going to order myself and my 3 year ol...

I know everyone will suggest me to get help and I will after the holidays. I just feel like I’m tired of pretending, I got a very demanding fussy baby and I’m just tired, fed up, overwhelmed…every night I’m dreading the next day. I love my baby to death but I’m struggling so much and no one around me seems to under...

My partner has gone out for his works Christmas party tonight and I can't help but feel jealous about it, he didn't have to make arrangements for someone to look after the baby, simply came home, had a shower and was back out the door 🤦‍♀️ he works really hard to provide for us so obviously I want him to be able to…

Hi, my daughter isn’t diagnosed autistic but me and my partner now believe she could be. Shes 2 years old and seems to have the worst behaviour when at home. She hurts her sister, doesn’t listen, climbs everywhere and no matter how many times we redirect her, move her away from the situation or tell her off she does...

Long story short I had my first baby this year, he is the first grandbaby and first great grandbaby. My husband and I both have jobs, our son is in daycare for that reason. The weekends we like to enjoy relaxing as a family unless we have made plans. Note* all holidays have been split between my family and my husba...

My mil told my husband he married the wrong person a couple weeks ago since we had a baby 5 months ago. He only goes to work and hold our daughter maybe one hour out of each day. He does not help clean and barely help cooks. I am tired at the end of the day taking care of my daughter and being 6 weeks pregnant. My m...

Honestly this lady is on my 🥜sack harassing me and being very aggressive. Today I put up a divider since we share the balcony space. Reason being she's nosy. She came out and started shoving my stuff, I was ready for her ass though. I ignored her while she talked. She went back in and came out for more…

Tw - mentions social services Hi, I'm really am scared and worried. Had a social worker come round and when she spoke with the kids one of her question to him was " what does mummy do that you don't like" and he said when " when mummy shouts sometimes" and she ask my other son " how can you make your family bett...

So me & my LO have not had any contact with Mil for about 3 months. Mil said she didn't want to bother having a relationship with our daughter after DH explained we're were not comfortable with Mil being unsupervised with our 2 year old. Mil contacted DH a few weeks back asking what our LO wanted for Xmas & he r...

My nearly 3yo can’t keep her attention on anything for more than 2 seconds. It’s becoming quite problematic. She would take a toy, pick just one part up and move to the next toy. I would ask her to clean her room and to play with just 1 toy at a time but she would pick 1 toy up and start to play with the next one an...

He won't save money, He won't get life insurance He doesn't want to buy a house for stable living condition We've got 500 in the bank right now and that's going to pay bills. I talk to him about it and he says we'll be ok, God will provide. We been married 11 years and it's not getting better.
