For example he has said “I’m going to get a knife and kill my whole family” he has a very damaged childhood with social services involved.. I mean to me the answer is obvious but to my husband apparently it isn’t!

I have a 1 month old baby, and I am not Nigerian, but my partner is. When he has called his mum back home she has commented that we need to not hold her as much as he usually is holding her on the call and that we should let her cry which I feel uncomfortable with and feel the baby is too young for. Atm, we hold her...

I’m just thinking how mad I would be if I finally had a few hours to hang with friends then get angry messages from my spouse

Omg… so I know yall will love to hear this horrific fucked up story! My baby daddy is a 31 year old man and is constantly on VrChat (we broke up months ago and I’m currently in another state with another man) he wasn’t paying any kind of child support and was running around his little game on his headset saying he ...

I have been with my partner for almost three years, we have a 18 month old together. I don’t even know where to begin but it’s been hard really here recently and over and over the thought of not caring about the relationship has come up too many times. I understand being a parent is hard and trying to have a relatio...

Hi everyone!!! How are you doing? My son’s 13 months old now and I am sooo lost!! Every day he has a new update (I call them updates 😅) in the system and I have no clue what to do with him anymore 🤣 i’m not back at work yet, so I spend most of my days with him. He’s always been a great eater; now he has decided he…

I used to live with my in laws and moved out after giving birth as they caused my PPD. Telling me what I should do with my baby, bitching behind my back,dismissing my rules around my baby. Long story short they love to backbite me but act fake to my face. Whenever I go there they will never bicker but once I leave I...

I haven't showered in over a week, since my baby was born (over 7 weeks ago) I've showered a total of 4 times, and my laundry has been done once. I feel like I can't get a shower without making sure my partner will be okay with the baby for 10mins. I'm not sleeping because I'm in pain or because my partner oversleep...

This is my 4th pregnancy, and it's been the same every single one. I honestly just can't stand him. His presence, his voice, how he acts. I think maybe because I've got on with him doing bare minimum as I'm a sahm and he works and cknes back home late and tired, i just allow him to do minimal when it comes tonhome a...

Would you be annoyed if your sister in law drove past your house every day but never came to visit her niece

I just had my baby 2 days ago, I’ve noticed that he’s sleeping all the time and isn’t even crying to be fed, it hits 3 hrs after his last feed and I get so worried because he doesn’t show signs that he’s hungry and it scares me so bad. I’m feeling really overwhelmed because I had to be induced and I was not mentally...

Is anyone else feeling their partner doesn't appreciate how hard pregnancy can be? Anytime I have a little moan or say I'm struggling with something he makes a little comment like being pregnant isn't a disability Still 7 weeks to go but I'm feeling huge and tired. I'm trying but just don't feel up to doing everyt...

Feeling very down right now. Need to take baby boy out more often but I’m often held back by the fact that I’m very overweight and can’t do some movements easily- esp in public. Things like getting on and off the floor with him. Carrying him for extended periods or maybe running. I don’t want to go out just us two...

long story short, my bf and i haven’t been getting on well at all recently, our daughter is 10 months old and our relationship was close to ending a few days as we just aren’t getting along. Today, as i was getting ready to shower my bf kept saying he’s taking our daughter to see his mom and grandma (i am not okay...

Why am I annoyed? Those dirty looks. Scanning eyes. I don't understand other moms trying to compete with me. I'm very intuitive so I pick this shit up instantly and it's very annoying Example. Every Saturday I'm at an activity with my son I see the few same moms. I like to get there early so my son can just gen...

My baby is 4 months old now and for the last 2/4months my partner and I have just been constant arguing, I’m genuinely just feeling really low and sad at the moment and do not know what to do at this point! Anyone else in same boat?

Long story. My current partner slept with a girl a couple of years ago. He told me how much of a mistake it was, she was awful blah blah. Fast forward a few years and around 8 months ago she got his number and started messaging him on WhatsApp. She is constantly messaging him about the past and wanting him to go...

My MIL (76) has always struggled with her knees, back and hip. She's just been diagnosed with arthritis in all those areas, moderate in her knees. Some days are better than others. I have a 13 month old who is in nursery Monday - Wednesday. I'll soon be going back to work on Fridays so wanted to put him in nursery...
