I’ve been with my partner for 15 years and I’ve never felt so alone. There’s no effort on his side and I’m always craving attention from him. Mother’s Day was the one special day for me and I told him aswell and he made zero effort and always brings up excuses. Is it time to say goodbye to him. He doesn’t validate m...
We got in a fight yesterday because he wasn’t helping me as much as I’d hoped but I’m honestly realizing that I have zero support (we both come from abusive families and we live in a college town. All of our friends moved away recently). He’s already doing more than enough especially considering how much he works ...
Currently 14 weeks and through out these weeks my baby daddy has not been present what so ever, not emotionally, physically or financially, it’s almost as if he literally doesn’t give a f about me or the baby, I know he has financial issues right now so I tried to work with him to make his life easier and say I can ...
I’m genuinely getting stressed about this. My husband’s family have booked a holiday let 3 hours from our home for the week and my husband has said we’ll go for a long weekend. I’m 33 weeks pregnant and very nervous about being that far away from home as they are really not supportive of my pregnancy (I’ve barely ha...
I'm sorry to say this but kids?...they don’t owe you perfect behavior. They just don't. They’re learning, just like you. Expecting them to always listen, be calm, and act “right” is setting yourself up for frustration. Kids aren’t little robots programmed to behave perfectly—they’re messy, emotional, and figuring ...
Every now and then over something small, we have this freaking fight and I’m so sick of it. I’m still salty this morning after not speaking all night and me going to bed early. What happened: yesterday morning I ran to get groceries, our 3 yr old didn’t want to go so husband had him and the 7 month old baby (he rar...
My daughter (11) banged on our door tonight while my partner and I were in the middle of adult time *cough cough* and my daughter became hysterical. Went to the backyard crying and carrying on for all the neighbors to hear. Then carried on in her bedroom for ages waking up our dog & 6 month old baby. This isn’t the ...
I have just been doing my weekly food shop with my children, 2 month old strapped to me & my 3 year old walking next to me & an old couple pushed my trolley out the way and huffed at me twice, on the second time I asked if there was a problem she told me I shouldn't be allowed out with 2 children by myself & im spee...
I didn't know I would ever feel this way, but I hope our children NEVER EVER meet a man like their father. He is a narcissistic drama king who can't be good for anyone. He can't come out of himself at all. All he thinks about is sex and a vacation. With the family that he despises. I'm so sad that I gave him childre...
Anyone else just feeling so guilty on their younger kids when feeling so tired in the first trimester? I’m struggling at the moment and I’m not my usual fun with self him and just feel like such a crap Mum. A lot of our days at the moment are at home and my family have been helping out. Taking him for days out and...
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. Any support how to deal with this, wish I didn't have to put her in...
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...
My Husband & I have two kids together. I firmly expressed the reason for my reluctantancy when we initially discussed planning for our last baby. I never thought I would have kids, let alone TWO. & I just wasn't ready. Two kids weren't exactly in my plan but God knew better💙💙 No doubt though, I was used to the…
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. ...
