I did alot for my child to have a relationship with the dad. But as time goes on I wonder if I’d be so wrong if I blocked him and my child just went on in life dadless. He’s a good dad but he treats me terribly and offers no physical child care. If I ghost, he won’t fight to be in child’s life, take me to court, etc...

The first waves of regular period-like contractions began at 2:30am yesterday, we called the midwives to come to the house at 12:47pm when things were really ramping up, one made it at 1:02pm, my waters broke at 1:05pm and our girl shot out at 1:18pm! The other made it for the physiological third stage at least…

I think my sister has a psychological issue.. one day she’s good and the next day she is not! For example; when she’s arguing with my other sister she tends to shut us out and ghost me for a while like weeks or months!

How do ya’ll do it? My bd is so disrespectful. He calls me names, tells me to die, threatens me and it’s so toxic. We are not together and don’t live together but whenever we are around each other cause of our daughter it’s chaos. I don’t have anyone else. My mom is crazy like actually mentally ill. I literally am o...

Being a toddler mom is kicking my ass. I feel like I’m failing. My kids does everything she isnt supposed to do. She fights me, she sleeps with me, she still breastfeeds, and refuses to be potty trained. I’m going through a separation and I think I am losing my mind. Right now she is screaming at me. I just want to...

Probably a bit specific but has anyone had to have reconstructive surgery after their stitches have ripped opened? Just wondering what the recovery is like, extremely anxious it’s going to happen again as this recovery is just fuckin awful, it’s never ending

Currently crying because I am so stressed. My daughter is so clingy I literally get nothing done. She cries if she isn’t in my arms. I sat her down to do dishes and she cried the entire time. She does this all day. My son was a velcro baby but still was fine being put down for a little bit. I really hope it gets bet...

Currently 17w 4d with my twins, and I’ve been feeling depressed as of late. I can’t put my finger on it, I just haven’t been wanting to get out of bed, shower or any of the normal things I do on a daily basis. I feel as though my energy has dropped and the only thing that brings me the slightest amount of happiness ...

The trauma of this has caused major depression

So I do not like my mil she is very self absorbed insensitive and rude. She shows me no respect even in my own house but we are stuck with her as my husband is an only child. My little boy is 2.5 months old and lately his eyes look very much like my MILs eyes. It’s killing me coz it’s the one thing I said during my ...

I don't know what it's called when the sides of your hairline go back.. not sure if it's widows peak or just a receding hairline but mine is major! Any suggestions on growing hair back or new hair? I know minoxidil is a popular choice on TikTok. Any other suggestions?? My husband said I look like this..😂🙄

Now that I am a mom, to a 5 month old and now pregnant with our second… I am having some feelings about my childhood and my mother come up. I think maybe I need to get into therapy and talk this out but I’m wondering if anyone has experienced similar. Usually I’m able to contain my feelings about it but now I’m havi...

I’m getting so overwhelmed with motherhood and my child- they are my world and I love them so much however I keep losing my cool and shouting and getting upset and just walking away from my child screaming for me- I feel awful - she’s in my arms asleep and I’m sat here crying - I just feel like I’m a bad mum

Someone who I thought was a friend is suddenly going very cold with me. Not messaging me anymore, and responding with short responses. Didn’t come to my engagement party and is now not coming to my daughter’s birthday party. I really like this person and I feel like we have similar parenting styles and ideas on educ...
