We went to an Airbnb last week. It was a renovated country barn and looked great from the photos - and was £200 a night. I asked the woman who runs the place in advance if the place was safe for people with pet allergies, as I'm allergic to pet fur, and if they had a travel cot we could use. She said they allow pets...

My husband recently told me he wasn't attracted to me as much anymore, that I've let myself go, that im almost overweight (i'm not) that im weak, I have no drive, that im not strong, and that im soft and sensitive. This was all after me explaining that I need more help with the baby and how i need more love and affe...

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? Don't get me wrong, when I ask him to do stuff he will try to help but I'm constantly the one having to nag him to walk the dogs, hoover, make the bed, wipe etc. (Just normal...

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...

My partner of 5 years is addicted to Porn to quite a concerning level. I’ve always allowed him to get on with it but he puts it before everything and I mean everything, he never does housework, never helps out with tidying after himself, never helps looking after our child or our dog, stays up until 2am just masturb...

Hi Mumma's, I have a 2 years old toddler who goes to childcare and a 2.5 month old infant. How do you guys protect the infant from not getting any infection that the toddler gets from childcare? My toddler has a runny nose and I feel it's unfair to constantly tell my older child to not get close to his younger b...

My LB is 9.5 months old now. For the past month, in order to fall asleep or soothe himself, he licks his hands. It works great for him. He also tries licking people, which is obviously a no-no, although we let him do it to us (mom & dad) sometimes. We are currently visiting my MIL. Generally she's a lovely lady, re...
