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...

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 would like a second child because I think long term I would enjoy having a bigger family and love the idea of my child having a sibling. (I am an only child and wish I had a sibling).

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...

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!

Anyone else drained from it? Everything we say to do is ‘no’ and every time we ask him to do something it’s ‘no’ or we’ve done it wrong. Its constant tantrums. It’s getting to the point where he’s not nice to be around. I know it’s developmentally expected but he’s just becoming very bratty and I don’t like him some...

Like the title says, I need it all. Please help. I’m only going to get worse health wise and my kids are still young as in toddler-child ages. I want to teach them all I can, give them a good home, and not make myself worse.

Hello! Hi! I’m exhausted. Feeling defeated. I have an independent 19 month old toddler who rules this house. And I mean…is spoiled. When we are out in public or even home she acts like a fool. She is throwing temper tantrums. Not staying close by near my husband and I and doing her own thing. Obviously I am well ...

I've been feeling trapped, isolated, depressed, all of it. My husband comes home from work and is so tried he takes a nap pretty much after hellos and a snack. Now I understand he's tired, he worked all day but damn, I'm soo sick of feeling still alone after he comes home. Unfortunately we had one of our cars break ...

I'd like to hear from others when they knew their relationship was not worth it anymore? Mine was when I went to my bf (ex now) house and I called asking him to make sure the door was open for me to come in with our baby (it's winter).
