Does your baby dad tell people that you don’t allow him to see his child?

I’m posting incognito as I keep seeing all these women asking questions for support (as we should) and they get opinions opposed to help or assistance. For example, seeing parents asking about weaning advice prior to 6M. And the comments will be people slamming about how the LO isn’t 6M & should wait. Why commen...

Anyone willing to share their experiences regarding adopting a child when you already have bio kids? We personally don't know anyone who has made this kind of transition and we're currently discussing our options.

Hi everyone so I considered some months back about adoption for my unborn baby, due to the dv situation with my kids father and me being in a shelter. Well I got into a program that’ll cover my rent up to two years. They’ve also been helping me look for apartments and gave me a case worker and my kids really want to...

I love my kids. I would die for them, kill for them, they will have my unconditional love, no matter what. I feel like I don’t like being a parent. Is this normal? Does anybody else feel like this

This app has so many horrible stories about men, it’s got me a bit worried about raising a boy. Surely the mothers of a lot of these men did the best they could so why are SOME so awful (society, biology ?!). Luckily, the best man i know is my husband and the father of my 5 month old son but i still worry. Any tips ...

What did you do with your disrespectful, disobedient Kids when they weren’t respecting the rules in your house and being unappreciative of all that you do as a single mother? Send them to live with their father? Or family Or?

What I mean by that is pregnancy and parenting. I'm 14, and pregnant. I haven't even got to highschool yet and I am so scared. I don't know what I'm going to do, it's incredibly hard right now and the baby isn't even here, let alone when she is here, great goodness.

Thing is, this time round I'm going to be a mum to a toddler and a newborn.. if youre a parent that believes in the no kissing where do you stand with your toddler kissing the baby? Yes or no?? And what's your reasoning? Idk what to do with this one

Anyone have any advice for my next frozen transfer. Won’t be due for a couple of months but eager to get others experience of navigating an under active thyroid on 75mcg Levothyroxine. Last fresh transfer failed to implant and keen to find out if this is the cause etc.

I'm considering fostering as I'd love to help a child who needs a family and also, I've always wanted a big family but don't want to go through pregnancy and childbirth again. My husband isn't up for it because he wouldn't be able to handle losing that child after getting connected and feeling like they're a part...

This morning I had my fresh transfer of a 5AB blastocyst embryo. I’m really hoping and praying it sticks. I’ve been curled on the settee all day not wanting to move out of fear something will happen, it’s going be a long 9 days. Any tips or advice very welcome please 🤞🏻

It's transfer day today. Please keep me in your prayers and wishes! I am super excited. The day is finally here!

My son is 2.. 3 in may and we have no intentions of having another baby just yet. But I feel this insane amount of guilt when he plays alone and when his friends have brothers and sisters… he’s never mentioned having one and I’ve never felt this way but recently it’s consuming my thoughts all the time… please can I ...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any experience of having 2 children with no help from family or friends? My lo is 16 months now and I would love to start trying for another baby. The only thing holding us back is that we haven't had any support from family with our lo, and even with just one it has been very dif...

Hi! I just wanted everyone’s thoughts on visitors. My MIL has stated that she wants to wait in the hospital car park whilst I give birth so she can meet the baby as soon as they are born. I have said, I don’t want visitors at the hospital, but she’s now insisting on waiting, and now she’s insisting on coming over ...
