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!

my dad pay my child’s nursery bill?

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...

Hi mamas! I've been having a hard time doing anything but to take care of the baby. My baby is 3 months now and feeds (breastfeed) every 2-3 hours. Initially I had some family/friends helping with cooking/ordering food. Now I find myself ordering Uber almost every day because I'm super hungry and don't have time to...

Here we go another “where did my friends go” post. One of my oldest and closest friends has rescheduled a meet up as of today for a fourth time. 1-okay 2- damn adult life 3- are you actually trying to meet up? I gave 3 different dates and a selection of restaurants. Answered in time for last offered date and didn’...

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). And I'm greeted with a face full of anger and huffing. So I ask why are you huff...

I’m wondering if anyone has the same issue as me. I feel like my mother in law keeps overstepping the boundaries. My husband calls her 4/5 times per week with my 11 month old daughter. I find it too much and very controlling. He was adopted by her and I really am trying to be empathetic but most of the time it feels...

Two weeks ago my husband went out for beers with coworkers because it was his last day. He said a couple hours when he left at 2 and wasn’t home until almost 9 leaving me to spontaneously do dinner and bedtime for all three kids alone. I tried to let it slide because he never does that. Tonight he said he was goin...

I just need to rant. I am 5 weeks pp with my first baby and I am so sick of my bf not helping. He helped at first but now he is back to his usual video games all day. I EBF so that is on me which I have no problem with but he only changes maybe one diaper a week and doesn’t help in any other way. He lets our dog out...

My stepdad has seen my baby a total of 3x. He got offended cus I said I want to hold off on him using the grandfather title when I was pregnant since he kept mentioning it so much .so he distanced himself for months. Now he’s came around and I feel like he’s gone to the other extreme again. The first time when he sa...

My husband and I of 7 years recently divorced because he had a baby with another woman! He wants nothing to do with our 2 children or the baby I’m currently pregnant with! He said he doesn’t want to know when the baby is born or gender, nothing! He moved out last month, so he don’t live close anymore… I’m so stuck w...

i feel like a terrible mom right now. i turned around to grab my 17 month old his food and next thing is he fell and hit himself on the table and he cut his eye and i’m not sure what to do

Wondering if I could get some advice here about nursery. My little boy has been in the same nursery for over a year and the last few months has moved into the big toddler room and since then a few things have happened that I’m just not sure if I’m overreacting to or if I should address with the managers. First thi...

Been with my husband since I was 15 (17 years) Every job he gets we fight over him cheating. He always acts weird, hides messages and is currently doing this now at his current job. He takes an absolute fit by calling me names and being aggressive if I say anything or call him out. What should I do? This happens at ...
