Has anyone noticed their partners becoming careless and distant recently? I’m 8 weeks pregnant and I feel like my partner isn’t necessarily mean to me but isn’t particularly nice either. He just ignores me. When we first started dating I got the good morning messages and he’d do ANYTHING I needed. Now it’s rare I ge...

Our little one has moved to the toddler room now that they’re two. The room feels very different - a lot older and more chaotic. I appreciate these things take time but I’ve noticed a change in our little one’s temperament. They become angry a lot more now (could be linked to terrible twos) and don’t want to go to n...

I don’t know what to do anymore! My 3 yo boy is making me so miserable. I love him so much but not sure what to do. He screams constantly, he acts like he’s spoilt, I can’t take him anywhere and he won’t listen. I know I’m probably preaching to the choir here but he’s out of control. We use the “step” when he’s naug...

Hey everyone, My baby is 10 months old and typically I can put on background noise and put her in her playpen while I run around like a maniac trying to get things done. However she has these moments in the past where she only wants me. She is teething at the moment so I don’t know if that’s it. But unless I’m in...

My in laws make 6 figures an this is what I got messaged today an yes we do live in there house but was told we just need to focus on us an our kids an that's it

So I moved into my moms house with my 1 year old because our lease has been up since Jan 10 and it was a month later and he still didn’t find a new place so I freaked out and just moved… now he’s working a lot to get enough money to move but then I feel like if I move back with him I’ll be stressing every month for ...

Is it just me over reacting? Why do I feel like I am failing as a mother whenever my boy’s eczema flares up? It is so heartbreaking for me to see him uncomfortable, itchy, and inflamed. I know eczema is pretty common but I really find it so hard to deal with. I feel like I am losing my confidence as a mother, don’t ...

Does your LO grab your hand/ clothes and drag you around the house LITERALLY everywhere with them all day long? And anytime I don’t follow/ tell him I’m having to do a chore (cook, dishes, etc.) he begins to cry and just pushes and pulls at my legs to get me to stop and go with him. Is this normal? It’s cute but als...

Anyone just feel like no family comes and helps you. I hate to say bad things about my family because I love them, but no one even offers to come and help or even give me just a minute to do some jobs. I have a baby and a two year old. Iv even mentioned it before to them but they still don’t bother and it’s so upset...

So I have gentle parented my 4 almost 5 year old for his whole life and all of a sudden it just doesn't work, I try all of the steps and be understanding and I've taught him about how to be nice and not disrespectful and ofcoarse i don't at all expect him to be perfect, lately everything i say and need him to do or ...

My MiL has always been incredible with our little boy and he's always spent a lot of time with her. He was a very difficult baby (colic/reflux/allergies) and she helped us so much. He currently spends 2 days with her, 1 day with me and 2 days at nursery - when I'm at work. Lately I feel like she's becoming over ...

I need a rant sorry I ask my partner to do jobs around the house and sometimes he will do it but more often, he won't/doesn't think The other day, I came home from work and was just about to head out to collect our daughter from nursery I look around the house which is generally a little untidy due to toys and ...

I'm currently on maternity leave with my soon to be 10 month old baby. I've found myself in a bit of a rut lately - all of my maternity friends have gone back to work, other non-mum friends are obviously working, tried to make new friends and failed haha. In the summer I got out loads, but recently with the rubbis...

I know what I want to say. I don't know how to go about getting it started. As I don't feel appreciated, loved as a wife. I feel like we just live with each other and nothing more. I'm regretting having a child with him. When it was him who wanted a child more than I did. Yet he doesn't even make any effort to inter...

So my daughter talks a lot & I just found out that our childminder is giving the kids screen time for a half hour at the end of the day. Our daughter only goes twice a week, but has been coming home demanding to watch Bebefinn etc, & having meltdowns about it. We rarely give her screen time at home. We spoke to the ...

I tried speaking to my baby's dad about the last few years of treatment being wrong. With no apologies or acknowledgement. When our baby came I totally changed how I view myself and life, I want to better myself and be treated right which means with respect. I've always been accused of cheating and he's always had a...

I don't even know where to start I'm so mad. My daughter is six months. And I swear it's harder now then when she was a new born. It's 4 in the morning and I've just spent the past 2 hours trying to get her to sleep. I tried to ask my husband for help because I was literally on a verge of a mental brake down and thi...

So my little one (14 months) has a cough / cold and teething. Yesterday at nursery, he was overtired and a bit unsettled in the afternoon. They said he didn't have a temp, but it did get up to the 37.9. I picked him up from nursery slightly early. When we got home, he was happy and had no temp , just your standard...

So, my partner & i are going through a rough period. It's ridiculously hard to explain fully, but here goes. He works a full time job, and runs his own business which is doing amazing. However, that means he's basically never home & we have a 7.5 month old. I'm mentally & physically at my max right now & I've asked...
