My son currently does one a week at nursery and has since September. He does one other day with my mum. The nursery are trying to get us to do another day but I really don’t want too. They say it will help him as sometimes he has a bit of a cry when he is there (he is happy on the whole). I love our days together an...

So my partner goes to the gym Monday to Thursday from work and doesn't get back until it's bed time for our girls. I work Friday evening Saturday and Sunday and have the girls 24/7 apart from few hours one day a week. I've been voicing how I'd like to get back into the gym to which he says you can go when I get home...

What’s the longest your in-laws has gone without seeing your LO? My boy is nearly 9 months and they haven’t seen him since… BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!

So we are 3 months into our second daughter (our first one being 2). This time round it's hit us hard, we've both struggled adapting to multiples. However we've been getting more and more frustrated with one another the past couple of weeks. He has his own business and is super busy all the time. Which means I take...

How are you keeping your babies entertained during the day? Especially when it’s not great weather. I can’t spend all day at a shopping centre surely? For context, she has just turned 6 months, and now hates everything we do, cries 2 minutes into all activities, and please no suggestions of “sing songs, read books” ...

My partner and I work at the same place, I’ve been having this weird feeling for the past couple of weeks now, decided to log his location on my phone, apparently he said he was still working but on the app he was in a completely different place, I called him most of the time and his phone was switched off, other ti...

I'm still breastfeeding my little girl to sleep, and once or twice throughout the night as well as ad hoc on request when she needs it in the day. I also work 4 days a week, so it's a lot. I realise she no longer needs it necessarily, she goes all day at nursery without, I just honestly don't know how to stop and sh...

FTM 👋 I’ve never felt so down and sad. My LO dose nothing but scream crying constantly from the second he wakes up. I try and comfort him but nothing helping. I’ve done everything that’s been suggested by friends and family with no luck. He’s sleeping for 2 hours at a time then waking up screaming, going red,…

My children are 4 years old twins who will be going to kindergarten in September. They currently have an IEP , and a meeting was hell today to see if they need to continue service ( speech & OT ). When their godmother heard that they're will be having an iep for kindergarten, I could hear it in her voice that she ...

My son is 19 months old and is currently experiencing a massive amount of separation anxiety. I’m usually the one who baths / does bedtime however at the moment I read him a story whilst he has his milk and the second his milk is finished he’s standing up in the cot screaming for me to pick him back up. I absolutely...

Sorry, this is really stupid but I just need to talk... for the first time I'm missing my LO's bedtime. I'm stuck in hospital because the Drs are keeping me here for tests and stuff and I won't be home for her bedtime for the first time ever. My heart is so heavy right now. I barely spent any time with her today bec...

Anyone else get easily annoyed or irritated ? Idk if it’s me being tired from the being pregnant or maybe I’m in nesting mode but I feel like I’m constantly getting annoyed with my apartment having things everywhere . My in-laws moved into our apartment at the beginning of the year so obviously there’s double of a l...

I’ve been feeling really alone in my marriage lately. I asked my husband if we could have sex at least once a week to feel more connected. He agreed, and we did it once. Since then, he hasn’t initiated again. When we do have sex, it’s okay. Sometimes even great. But I find myself getting emotional during it because ...

My BD bought my child a blanket and saw a photo of another baby with it. He asked if it was her blanket so I lied and said I didn’t think so, knowing he wouldn’t like that. He said he knew I was lying so I said sorry that I shouldn’t have played dumb and said I didn’t know. He threw the blanket in the bin, he later ...

I live in a different city to my mum and she visits me and my son infrequently, maybe once every couple of months for a day or night. I have two older brothers who live closer to her. Today she came to visit us and she mentioned casually that she has booked a holiday with one of my brothers later in the year, and th...

Did anyone else feel any resentment towards their husband after having a baby? My little girl is currently 6 days old and my husband thought it was acceptable to go to the pub with his friend for a couple of hours. I was absolutely exhausted and I feel embarrassed to say this but i fell asleep with her in my arms. H...

I’m a stay at home mom. I have an almost 3 yr old who’s autistic. He needs to be taken to the school and therapy. He’s nonverbal so I stick by his side as of now. Recently my son’s dad did his taxes and just got a large amount of money back. He doesn’t plan to give me any money either. I basically live off my sons ...

I'm gutted for my children. They'll lose everything they know. I'll be homeless, have been a sahm so have no income. I'm scared of the worst outcome and destroying my childrens world. Should I just paper the cracks and stay for their sake?

This might sound a little mad but here we go 😂 We recently installed a monitor above our LOs next to me in our bedroom. It’s linked to our phones and is always on. My husband works away for half the week and he has started to check the monitor when he’s away as he says he likes to be able to see our baby in real…
