My bf decided to take the day off work today and hid it from me. He took our son to my moms to be babysat (she normally watches him when we work), turned off his location and all the cameras In our home so I wouldn’t get any notifications and notice he was home. I’m furious. Like overly furious, to an extent that I ...

So my husband is kind of upset with me. We usually take a shower together after our daughter (who's 1y and 9m) goes to bed. Tonight he's really tired and said he wanted to put our daughter in her room and close the door while we shower. I told him I'm not going to do that because frankly, she could choke and die in ...

How’s your s*x life with having teenagers? I have 2, we live in a very small house. My oldest bedroom is legit open my door and I can just reach my arm out and open hers, walk in and 2 feet is the bathroom. My honey doesn’t act like it’s a big deal and even acts like he is ok and understands. However, in my past, it...

I’m holding so much resentment and idk how to fix it. Like I know it’s not really his fault but I can’t help it. If he would have just stayed with her like I ask she never would have fell and ruined her teeth. I genuinely don’t want to talk to him or be affectionate at all. What should I do or how do I get over this...

Has anyone else seen reel on instagram about how boomer grandparents for our kids will never be the grandparents we had? I knew my parents wouldn’t be like my grandparents but I wasn’t expecting the level of selfishness they’re at.. I’m pregnant with my first child, their first grandchild, we live 40 minutes away an...

I’ve been diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum in my pregnancy. Luckily, my medication has been working to stop me from being sick but it leaves me feeling super drowsy. Whenever I explain to my partner that I’m tired or to help out with the laundry or our 18 month old son he just complains saying that I’m always ...

I have been married for 13 years and have 3 kids. I absolutely love my family, love family life, love being married BUT I am deep in my heart that I am married to the wrong person. Divorce has been in my mind on and off from the day we got married. I know what I am about to share sounds bad but I am so scared to get...

I grew up with my mother, who was very mentally ill. One day while I was out she changed the locks and moved house, but didn't tell me. So I came home to a locked, empty house, and no idea where she had gone or where I should go. I was a teenager at the time. She has since came back into my life but our relationshi...

I have a 14 month old and I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my second. My entire pregnancy has been stress and misery because I have an emotionally and verbally abusive partner. When I tell you everything is an argument, it just doesn’t even make sense. I’m at the point where I don’t want to continue being in a relationshi...

So I’ve been doing literally everything alone since I found out I was pregnant. I now have a 4 month old, I love him so much, but lately the loneliness is eating my alive, I don’t get any support, no village, nobody to say give me the baby go shower, eat, ect, and I live with cousin! We literally moved in together...

So…. My MIL has been creeping around our housing estate. She does not drive nor live close however her friends daughter goes to a school nearby us. She comes to visit us on a set day every week (which is more than anyone else just for background as we find visitors constantly overwhelming). But basically every time...

We started weaning our 6 month old a week and a half ago and sleep has been off ever since. He’s also been really grouchy. He seems to be struggling with digestion and although he’s enjoying eating food, he then seems really uncomfortable for hours after as it works its way through his system 😢 we were just getting…

WHY is it so freaking impossible to get anything done with toddlers and babies?? I SWEAR all I’ve done today is changed diapers, breastfed, calmed tantrums, sat by the toilet while my toddler insists that tinkle IS eventually going to come out of their body, and cooked meals. I need to pack for a trip! We’re leavin...

I am a SAHM to a 4 year old and 15 weeks pregnant 🌈. Over the years living with my partner there’s a constant argument that he doesn’t think I do enough at the home. I wish I could share video on here to show my home it is never super dirty. Sure sometimes there’s a toy mess or I don’t get to the dishes or I don’t…

How many times has your "mom intuition" been right? My daughter's step-grandpa has been overstepping boundaries since she was born practically especially with the no kissing/no putting the mouth on her. I am constantly telling him to not put his mouth on her, dont kiss her and he always reacts with oh im not. Like i...

Am I over reacting here? My husband is on late shifts this week and I also had his daughter all weekend whilst he worked plus my now 6 month old baby which I found very hard. He’s now come home and said he’s really tired and is going to lie down because he has a migraine as I was putting baby to bed. Didnt offer t...

Our LB goes to nursery one day a week and when I went to pick him up last week at about 5ish I got told he was up in the toddler room and they were all having a slice of chocolate cake. I was mortified as he doesn’t really have chocolate! I’ve given him bites of chocolate at Christmas time and occasionally if I have...

My 3.5 year old has chicken pox. I’m 33 weeks pregnant with my partner and myself and my eldests dad split 18 months ago. Anyway, we got the pox confirmed yesterday. Since then, she’s been moany, clingy, sleepy and everything in between. Her dad hasn’t messaged once to see how she is, in fact none of his family h...

I'm 6.5 months postpartum. I have nobody except my Husband which typically don't mind but he's planning on switching jobs soon which will take him on the road. I can't go with him because we have 3 dogs that we can't just rehome (not easily) plus they love their baby human. I have no friends, they all just up and a...

I have an 1year 10 month old who will not stop hitting, headbutting, kicking and climbing all over me constantly, like if i try and sit down for a minute he’s on me straight away doing one of these things and i’ve tried ignoring it, a firm no, time outs, walking away, distractions but nothing seems to work!! I’m r...
