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.

My baby daddy has been going to drill(marines) in other states Thursday thru Saturday for the past 3 weeks now.

She said they allow pets...

Does anyone else just feel like they're constantly having to ask/nag their partner to help them out with housework/ the pets/ life in general?

Last night I wanted to order take out for dinner. My husband is the picky eater so I ask him everytime what he wants. Majority of the time, it's "idk" or "Whatever you want" but then he won't like what I suggest. This can go on for hours until I just pick something that he may or may not like. He will complain if it...
