My 3 year old son is half black and half white. He’s always had great hair that’s been fairly easy to maintain. We’ve stuck to a regular schedule of shampoo and conditioner every other day. Combing while hair is wet and putting leave in and a bit of mousse in for styling. We don’t braid his hair or keep it in any ti...

I’m thinking back on the last week with my MIL. 1) why was she so stubborn that she wouldn’t even go to the hospital when EVERYONE was telling her. We had to send an ambulance. She wouldn’t be so bad off if she has listened to everyone who was telling her FOR OVER A WEEK that she needed to go 2) she didn’t want t...

I'm 36W with baby #2 and feel like I'm constantly dismissed by my midwife. I've met her 3 times and each meeting has been less than 15 minutes.

Has anyone’s LO seemed to do a complete personality change recently? My once happy little girl is now SO grumpy, whiney on the way too and from nursery. Hitting herself in the head. She’s just completely different! She’s just fought off two bouts of illness and not the same. Miss my happy girl!

I had my baby 7 months ago. Vaginal birth, no tearing or stitches. Sex still hurts and is honestly not super enjoyable. When will it get better?

Our baby is 6 months old now. My husband left his job month ago and is still in search of work. Since he’s been home he doesn’t do anything unless I point it out with my fingers.
