Parenting

Went to visit MIL because she asked me to bring my son over (Her husband left her and she’s been depressed which is why we came) she’s not home, I find a phone laying on the table so I look at pictures to see maybe I can see a selfie and know who it belong to(she has 2 sons that live with her) and I find pictures of...

My daughter (17 months old) and i have been poorly for a week now and didnt get to the foodbank for our food. Asked him for a little extra money and he couldn't even do that. 🤦🏻‍♀️ definitely got his priorities on the wrong place. (He only uses his car to drive to work, which is 5 mins walk from his house)

Our 1 year old was in hospital with rsv and bronchitis last week, quite literally the worst time of our lives and today I have had to rerun back to work and put him back into nursery and the guilt is just overwhelming! Do I take him out of nursery? Do I go down to part time? Do I resume routine as normal? What ...

My partner said “your hysterical can you please calm down” I got pissed it was midnight I had been asleep for four hrs and we were having a disagreement. I was upset tired af and had been woken up to pee. It pissed me off cuz ofc I’m trying to calm down I’m not just crying to be loud. It’s just annoying that I had t...

My MIL helped me with my first daughter by having her 1x a week to stay over from 3 weeks old. I appreciated the help so much and she helped ever since! I’ve had my second baby and I have said about her having them separately until she’s comfortable having them together when baby is a little older. She’s wanting to ...

Do you think a working man should help his stay at home woman (pregnant or not) with house duties? (Dishes, laundry, basic cleaning, taking care of kids etc ) even if he pays all the bills?

Me and LO get out all the time, do lots of fun activities, and go to lovely places. However, if we have a totally at home day I feel guilty. Is it ok to have a home day sometimes?! She’s 4mo

Those who have gone back to work and little one is at nursery, how are you finding it? I haven't gone back to work yet but I'm dreading it, mostly the finishing work, picking him up and making dinner, bath bed etc. I can handle it now as I can make him his dinner while he has his nap, he doesn't let me make food whe...

How do you all cope with morning sickness and looking after a toddler 😭 I feel so guilty as all I want to do is spend time with my little boy whilst it’s just the two of us. I’m only 6 weeks and I’m already really struggling with feeling sick all day and having no energy. I just want to go out and do stuff with…

Ok so I let a friend and her 18 month old move in a month ago. And ever since it's been hell. I mean living fucking hell. The way she treats her son in front of other people is fucking disgusting. She doesn't clean. She's lazy as fuck. She spends all her money on the day care she doesn't even bring her child too or ...

My niece can barely read basic words. I’m genuinely worried for her. I see her a few times a month and I read a few books to her and my toddler every time I see her. She doesn’t even know any phonics. She really wants to read. She will take books and make up a story about what she sees on the page and “read” to my ...

Is anyone else struggling with patience? As in your other half you want to kill them all the time? Day 3 of him just naffing me off!!!

We’re due to have my SS for a couple extra days this week. My partner has lost his job and currently spends all his time on his computer. We have a 2 year old and I’m struggling because my husband doesn’t listen to me. I’ve asked him nicely that while SS is here for a few extra days this week can he not go on his co...

i’m gonna start this of my saying i absolutely love my child, i would die and kill for them, but that being said oh my god they are the most annoying thing on this planet. every single minute of the waking day they’re asking me questions, sometimes the same question 5 times in a row, and if they’re not asking me a q...

So me and my son’s dad broke up at the very beginning of my pregnancy. My son is almost 1 and I just now started dating. This guy I’ve been talking to has been great but when he doesn’t like my response he always say “I’m being weird.” I am a single mom, never had any help, I’ve been through the foster care system a...

I have a big family (1 of 4) and about 10 cousins, so our son always gets loads of toys for Xmas and birthdays.
