I work before our daughter wakes up in the morning so her father gets her dressed and brings her to daycare. He couldn't find her jacket so he sent her without one.. He couldn't find her usual shoes that she wears there so he sent her in WINTER BOOTS when she has 7 other pairs in the mudroom. WHY?!!! WHY DOES HE D...

Feels like everyone here has a lazy partner! I’m always seeing “he doesn’t wanna have sex with me ever” “he never helps either the feeds or nights” “he won’t do chores” etc I feel like I hit it big or something that my fiance is a decent guy? I very single time we fool around or have sex he ensures I finish first, i...

Back story: I’ve been with my husband for 9 years. We are best friends. I have a nearly 9 month old son and am 18 weeks pregnant and due in July. I’m also a childcare practitioner profession wise. Lately, I’ve been feeling like I do absolutely everything all by myself with next to no help from my husband. I do all...

Dear MAGA Supporter Seriously now, you need to reign your man in. He is the weakest powerful leader ever in the world. That video is offensive but he thinks it's a legitimate trade for peace. All that effort to get to here is being lost and we're moving backwards with Trump. Talk to your man. He'll only listen ...

Please tell me it gets easier. I’m literally wishing these years, month, days away. My husband and I are not in a good place because of our stupid lazy parents not wanting to help even a little bit with childcare. He has to take time off work to help me when childcare gets too much for me even though we only have a...

Since having the baby I've realised how little my partner knows about caring for babies, and I struggle to leave him to feed/change the baby because it looks like he doesn't really know what he's doing. I get stressed because I just want my baby to be comfortable, so anything I see that he is doing wrong I point out...

So my 11 month old is very clingy to me at the moment, as soon as I put him down or go and try and do something he will cry the house down. He also hates if my partner trys to pick him up or talk to him when he wakes up.. is this normal? He only wants me for everything right now or its a complete meltdown

Long story short -- my soon to be in laws are paying for our wedding. I insisted on having something smaller that i can afford (I'm a grad student, so it would be very small) but my fiancé of course ignored that. All his siblings had these elaborate weddings. My fiancé and I then decided to invite max 60ish people ...

My partner has a 4 year old from a previous relationship he used to pay £38 a week but when his son went to nursery to gave her £50 a week so he could go an extra day. The son is now in school full time but the baby mum won’t put it back down to £38 a week. He’s said to her well now he’s in school I’ll just sent you...

My husband's mom clearly didn't raise him right. He doesn't clean ANYTHING. I mean I'm a SAHM and he works so I get I should be doing the deep cleaning but he for real doesn't even pick up after himself. He doesn't put his plate away when he's done eating, doesn't keep his closet clean (after I spend hours organizin...

But do you ever just feel angry that your husband had kids with such a stupid person? I just have a hard time with that specifically sometimes. I’m not fully resentful of it but sometimes I’m like…. How stupid could you have been? And not once but twice?

Helloo, so I need opinions/ advice please. So my partner works full time 5 days a week, I am a SAHM and a photographer beginner, trying to make something of myself. My partner works as an engineer so his days range from working till 11/12pm or he’s home 2pm latest so his days aren’t too long. Our son is 18 months o...

My toddler started dropping to her knees and crying when dropping her off and refusing to stop playing to come home on pick up. It started with her dad and now with me. It’s driving me (and her teachers) crazy. Any advice? I’m at my absolute fucking wits end.

So we moved house around 6 months ago. At the same time we found out I was pregnant. Once we were settled Christmas was approaching and my SIL came round with her bf. The night was great congratulating us and a bit of a delayed house warming blah blah blah. Ok we had some Christmas music on but it couldn’t have been...

I reported a girl I used to work with to a child protection charity for child endangerment for front facing her child? (Info in comments)

Went to indoor playground on a rainy evening yesterday after daycare, and my son is a very social little guy. He's running around happy and at one point he approaches for older kids who seem to be siblings or cousins or something they were older by a few years not toddler anymore, and I noticed one of the kids point...

Long story short, my mil overstepped many boundaries during my pregnancy and it’s turned into something she’s took personal and made out she’s been a victim. Seen lo 5 times and next month lo will be 1. I wanted to arrange a party both sides to try and get over this once and for all but my partner is really resentfu...

Hey, so it’s my first time posting on here but just looking for some advice really. Myself and my partner have been together almost 4 years and have a 5 month old baby. Throughout my whole pregnancy it was a little bit rocky as baby wasn’t planned and made a lot of things hard for us both. A couple weeks before gi...

I signed up to a brand new Nursery in the area in April 23’ for September 25’. We looked around and got a really good vibe, got the second to last place. Parents were raving about it, it’s not a chain but had loads of investment, really good facilities etc. One of the most expensive nurseries in the area made afford...

I'm sorry, it's a bit of a long one.. I'm really struggling to get to grips with the difference between Mums and Dads. For context, we have a 3YO and a newborn. Our compromise was that he would do the toddlers, bathing, bedtime, and taking him to school each day, and I would do all the nights for the baby. This...
