When ladies post for reassurance because their LO can’t do something (eg walk, say words) please don’t comment saying ‘mine does marathons but…’ or ‘mine can recite the entire dictionary but….’ It isn’t what they’re looking for and it isn’t helpful! Sorry to moan but I feel so bad for women (and myself) who want a...

How do you guys find just a little time for yourself? Even if it’s just to the gym for an hour or 2, I have hardly had any time to myself to do anything since my daughter was born last January, she stays at my in laws every Tuesday and that’s now become date night for me and my partner which is great but honestly so...

So I’m the second youngest of 7 kids.. but I feel like I’m the only one out of all of us that can’t have a shit day or be in a shitty mood. I have 1 day where I’m in a bad mood and everyone turns everything on me and says it’s my fault and starts bringing shit that’s not even the problem into the convo? I just wa...

I don’t really know what I’m hoping for with this post but felt like I needed to let it out. Maybe to feel less alone? I love my boys more than anything in the world, I’m happy and I would never want to change them. However, all I’ve ever wanted since having my first boy, is a little girl. I knew my second was a bo...

I enjoyed my life a lot as a childless adult. lol I love motherhood bt my life changed cuz Hubby & I decided to finally have a baby.

Hey I know there’s been a lot of posts like this. But I’m really struggling. I’m a SAHM to a 13 month old and a 3 month old. My man is an OTR trucker. He’s gone between 5 and 12 days at a time.

Is anyone else here dealing with not having and close family or friends ? We live with my in-laws so my husband has a built in pack, but I’ve never felt very close to his parents ( they are very kind and easy to get along with though ). Also my husbands family just isn’t very emotional and they don’t show much aff...

Hey guys!! I’m due end of June, is anyone else feeling extremely lonely in there pregnancy? How are you coping with it? I feel so so alone even though I have a partner. I feel like he is not supportive of me in this pregnancy :(

My little boy is 3 and a half months old and I thought maybe by now I would have started to make some mum friends. I've been to baby massage classes and doing tummy time at the moment. Today I tried a new mums cuppa club again, most people already knew each other so I found it a bit cliquey and hard to talk to peo...

This is my first time out- ALONE and overlapping with baby’s bedtime to see a friend’s comedy sketch show. We hadn’t seen each other since September and I needed a break.
