I have a couple of hen parties coming up end of next month and I’ve said I can’t do anything overnight but have been invited to day drinks which will probably follow through into the night.

How do you do things, important things, when little one is at home? My little one is now 19 months, but isn't independently playing.

6 days ago, my bd called things off with me. Im devastated and now he lives in his own place. I so badly crave human touch, especially from him because of how sad I've been.

I am 8 months pregnant and have a 2.5 year old toddler. I’m honestly struggling with our days at home. She’s not interested in playing with any of her toys, she’s being stubborn in general and is no longer listening. I’ve managed to bake with her a couple times but it only takes up an hour every week. I can take her...

I’ve been with my daughter’s father for 15 years. She’s 1-1/2 now. He’s always been a drinker but it seems like half way into pregnancy he got worse. He’s drinking has gotten to tho point that I made him make a decision. He quits and gets sober or I quit my job. I couldn’t handle the stress of both anymore. My last ...
