Just moved into a new house and the countertop already has a stain from coffee pot

If my sons dad works part time and goes to uni part time does that mean I won’t get child maintenance if I go online to do it? I can only see information saying that if they’re in full time then they don’t have to pay but doesn’t say anything about part time so assuming that means part time doesn’t count? My bd gi...

Today I get the email that our phone bill is late. He's supposed to be the one paying that monthly. But he keeps making late payments and it stresses me out every time I see that email. His credit card was also briefly frozen due to a new charge and the bank was like "hold up, is this fraud?" (It wasn't) He didn't ...

Last Christmas was my son’s first Christmas. We spent Christmas eve with my husband’s family and I chose to baby wear to avoid people trying to hold baby and pass him around. It ended up being very awkward, people talked about me behind my back and I got some rude comments. What I felt should’ve been one of the best...

Any other mums work full time with a toddler? How do you manage? I feel like I'm constantly stressed and don't get time to relax

Venting- don’t tell me to leave this man because it’s not an option. So I was out majority of the day with our toddler. My best friend came over because her birthday was this week and she took off from work so we planned for brunch and shopping today Once she left, all hell broke loose and my husband is getting...

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...
