Do you ever feel like a failure to your kids? I have a almost 18 month old and she kinda says some worlds or tries to and I’m trying to help her but she is in a stage she doesn’t eat and is picky, she whines more and needs more attention from me and I feel I’m doing something wrong. She is smart and is learning and ...

I’m so mentally tired of my relationship with my boyfriend all he does is call me the b word and has my son calling me that. I get no respect at all. I try to tell him how I feel he just says it’s my fault that our son calls me the b word. I never use that word in front of my kids, he just laughs every time I have t...

I was 1 month pp when I found his secret Snapchat dating back half a year. I’m nearly 5 months pp and I’m still with him for a million reasons under the sun (baby & house mainly) but I’m so so miserable. I don’t feel loved. I don’t feel wanted. He lies to my face says it wasn’t him all that shit like I’m some sort o...

Hey ladies, I am very upset my daughter has come home crying multiple times telling me that this one little girl is making fun of her in class. I have spoken to the owner of the place, which happens to be my boss bc I work in this specific preschool. I'm not sure how to handle this situation anymore since I've broug...

So I love my husband a lot and we don't usually have any real problems, only bickering from being tired. But I can't help but get sooooo annoyed at him when he stays awake playing video games on a night (tbh he only does it maybe twice a week) because then he doesn't want to wake In the night with the baby or wake e...

Ahh I’m pulling my hair out.. So we decided to get our little boy into nursery three weeks ago.. we did the whole induction/taster sessions and he LOVED it. For a whole week he was going. Started 1 hour (fine), 2 hours (fine) and then 2.5 hours (fine but asked for mummy about 10mins before pick up). Then on that Fri...

When my daughter is with her dad he never puts clothes on her. She’s 9 months and he just has her in a diaper. I tell him to dress her and he says “my kids don’t wear clothes in the house it’s more comfortable”. also my baby is really fussy and when she has crying fits he tells her to shut up and calls her “a fuck...

My son is behind in thinking he is 15 months old very quite and independent I never really played with him because I guess I’m just a dradbeat mom and I am a stay at home mom feeling sick to my stomach from guilt can’t stop crying he doesn’t talk he doesn’t walk and I fear we won’t catch up I’m ashamed I’m having su...

My MIL is overbearing - to the point where I don’t want to be around her. She has my child 1 and a half days (he’s at nursery the other half day) a week whilst I work. My mum also has the same. Since I got pregnant (first time round) -‘d gave birth here’s a list of all of the things she did that annoyed me - -...

Anyone else can’t stand their baby daddy? 😒 mine is just the BIGGEST headache && problem now when it comes to my marriage

Does anybody have any problems with their spouse when pay day rolls around? We're okay right before but then as soon as his paycheck drops, he makes you feel like shit bc he pays for a lot and makes you, the female, feel like all the financial burdens are our fault? I feel really good before but then he makes me fee...

I cannot stand her, I disagree with so many of her lifestyle choices and think she is a horrible, manipulative woman. She is constantly making comments about how she doesn’t see her grandchild but whenever we make any effort (she’s never come to see him at our house) to see her she makes it very awkward for us or wi...

I think my partner and I need to break up, we argue constantly and I’m just not getting what I want from the relationship and neither is he even though I’m trying so hard. I’m back at work full time, little one is 9 months old but not yet eligible for free childcare or anything, it will get easier but obviously at t...

She’s an amazing little girl. She’s so clever and usually well behaved. She used to just get clingy and cuddly when she was tired but just in the last half hour before bedtime she was hitting her head off the baby gate, she got a packet of crisps (idek where from 🤦‍♀️) put it on the floor and was running over them…

My baby is 10 weeks old and a majority of all he does if he's not sleeping is scream. It's only gotten progressively worse since week 2. I'm not even exaggerating. I have tried everything under the sun to console him. I've fed him, burped him well, entertained him, gas drops, gripe water, I keep him clean and dry, b...

So I said a week ago in a post that we weren't ready to part with dummy, too tired for that at the moment. Decided tonight was the night, though. I tried last night but he was having none of it. So my husband said OK tomorrow night (tonight) do you think you can be a brave boy and go without? Oliver said yeah. And ...

I feel like I am being exploited by my family. I am a fairly reasonable person who will accommodate most requests from people - i.e, helping out with something, lend money, babysit. Recently I have been bringing meals to one of my relatives because they are unwell. This has prompted other relatives to request I c...

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...
