My son has just turned 2 and I actually can’t stand been around him. He’s smashed 4 tvs, he doesn’t stay in his car seat, he breaks toys, he hits punches bites. He constantly has to pull my hair and he rubs his feet on me to sleep and literally scratches my skin off with his toenails and rips my hair out of my head....

And then got mad at me for using it 👀 He was sleeping in the room when I played with it in the living room. He's a light sleeper so I assume he heard me washing and putting it away. Shortly after that he got up and went into the bathroom (where I left it) and somehow figured I'd just got done using it. It was…

I’m curious and this has been a curious debate of mine lately as I watch my mom take care of my gma with dementia and watch as it ruins my mom’s mental health. It’s just a job that never ends and it makes my mom unable to ever leave the house out of fear she will fall or start the house on fire. (My gma is completel...

My narc husband won’t let me baby proof our house because he doesn’t want it to affect the aesthetics of our house and he doesn’t want to put more holes in the walls. So I can’t put a gate at the top of our stairs because none of the pressure mounted ones work in that spot and he won’t “let” me install a hardware mo...

My 16-month is getting kicked out of daycare for her allergies (may be environmental/seasonal, we’re not sure). She had a cold on and off in the winter and now allergies. Mostly runny nose & watery eyes, never any fever. I would keep her home when things were really bad. The provider claims she’s doing it for the ...

Those of your bubbas who are on 3 meals a day, how many bottles/oz is your little one having? I know all babies are different, my LO is 7.5 months and is showing lots of signs to soon be on 3 meals a day. However I’m starting to struggle to fit all his bottles in too and he hasn’t dropped any yet 😅 I don’t want to…

My husband and I have been arguing a lot recently. One sunday he packed all his things and left to stay with his sister and her husband. Since then I’ve been missing him and telling him to come back but he is adamant about us having some breathing space. I accepted at first and since then we have been talking over t...

My husband texted me today to tell me he doesn't feel cared for. I apologized and told him I was sorry for not being more attentive. But the truth is that I don't care. I don't like him. The only time I'm happy with him is when I'm around other people. The main reason I haven't left is because I can't stand the thou...

I know some people have strong feelings against early weaning, but has anyone done it yet? 4.5 months old and showing a definite interest in food when we eat, every time I eat anything she starts squealing at me and watching the food from plate to mouth… just wondering if anyone has started yet and how you’re getti...

So I know. NHS recommends to wait untill 6 months to start weaning but my 18 week old is already seeming like he wants my food, is it too early to give puréed fruits ?

Hi all! Im currently 14w with my first child. I’m just looking for some advice, as it has been on my mind for a while. My husband and I live halfway across the country from the rest of our family. We are finally about to visit our family in a couple weeks and are excited to announce our pregnancy as we have been wai...

Just a vent really! I feel quite low at the moment and very emotional. I had my home birth prep appointment yesterday and was looking forward to it a lot, but afterwards I felt actually very anxious and overwhelmed about how real the birth is becoming. I feel like people around me are super excited and therefore exp...

I was having chocolate covered strawberries and my boy was just watching me and felt soo guilty so I offered him a bite and ofcourse he loved it! He’s teething atm so appetite is non existent. I was just happy he took an interest. Anyway is ...

Does anyone have any good resources or any advice about weaning? LO is almost 5 months old and I’m going back to work soon. I’d like to have a plan in place or a really clear guide of what to do and how to introduce foods. I feel really nervous about it 🙈 Thanks in advance x

Just wanted to share this cute video of my baby girl. She had 2 strips of pancake (that I spread some peach puree I'd make on top), a strip of egg and a whole strawberry for breakfast today. She cleared the pancakes & egg but was skeptical about the strawberry 🤣
