I have really been looking after my hair since having my baby (he is 16mo). I use the colour wow shampoo & conditioner. Hair syrup oil before washing and heat protector before drying. I only wash and style my hair 1/2 times a week, so barely use heat. I also take the ‘my vitamins’ hair vitamins but feel as though it...

I just need to vent. My mom triggers tf out of me with my child. She does things that aren’t okay with me and acts like it’s okay when she’s not my child’s mother. Like I’m huge on the no kissing my toddlers face and I’ve had to tell her multiple times it’s not okay with me and over the past 2 years I’ll catch her a...

What is with other moms staring? We are all in this together surely you’ve been through similar or will go through similar in regard to tantrums, baby crying/ fussing in public etc. As a first time mum I could never imagine myself now or even before I was a mum to stare at another mum or whisper. It a part of life b...

To 2nd time moms…WHEN IS MY HAIR GOING TO GROW BACK? Lmao my son is 5 months old today. I’m still losing lots.

Just had a serious conversation with hubby about giving up trying . After a recent miscarriage and surgery I just feel like I can’t go through this systematic torture anymore which is consuming my whole life . Not the first time it’s happened . I’m grateful for my little boy already and I feel I may have to give up ...

So I’m overdue with my 3rd baby by a few days. I’m certainly exhausted and ready to have the baby, but I am more so sick and tired of everybody asking me if I’ve had the baby yet, or if I’m still pregnant, or if labour has started yet. It’s been just about every day for a week now. I’m ready to lose my shit on every...

I’m so nervous to have 2 so close together and also feel so guilty as my LO is still so little she’ll be around 18 months old when I’m due and needs me and I just feel like I’m letting her down! Has anyone had these feelings before?

I love my babe she’s 4 months old. But I just… I hate being a mom. I hate having to make decisions when I’m burned out and my brains completely running on empty. Sometimes I fantasize about leaving and never coming back then I feel so guilty for feeling like that cause all I’ve ever really wanted in life was to be a...

How did everyone’s babies take to Nursery? My baby is 15 months old. She has only ever been with me/partner or my mum for a few hours here and there. At baby groups she seemed confident and happy. We started our nursery settling in days last week. First day I was there with her 1 hour and she was fine. Second day w...

My mistakes before she would notice. Last week she said to me that my anxiety has lessened a lot… I thought to myself… yeah bc I’m not driving myself crazy to make you proud of me or to live up to who you think I should be. I feel so relieved now! What does your anxiety stem from?

I feel like every time my life gets better, I get into a huge deep depression phase and I’m in one now. I have a great husband but we’ve our love language isn’t the same which makes hard. I have no friends and I’ve been trying so hard and this is my third time trying but it doesn’t go anywhere. My in laws talk crap ...

Well, here I am—suddenly a stay-at-home mom to a wildly active 2-year-old while 4 months pregnant, thanks to federal budget cuts and layoffs. To say I’m terrified is an understatement. I’ve always worked, so this shift is completely new (and overwhelming) for me. SAHMs— how do you do it? What routines, activit...

Hello, I was looking for some advice since my GP surgery and the ones near me constantly say they have no appointments available for months. I want to know if anyone else is going through the same thing. My hair started falling out after having my baby. I thought it was normal post partum hair fallout but it’s bee...

My baby is just over three months old and has had a close relationship with her father and my family since birth. However, over the last few weeks she has started to cry and get hysterical when I leave her with anyone else (including her dad). This is making it very difficult for me to do anything (as in shower, w...
