I feel so guilty for saying or thinking this but I feel like I’m a better parent after my second child.
I'm looking for how to deal with the guardians of my children because I have trouble living up to my word and I'm like the boy who cried wolf
My partner and I have extremely busy/high level jobs (and no family around where we live). We have a 5/6 bedroom house and have 1 decent car, but we are selling our old house now to buy a SUV and a holiday home for our family. Financially we are doing OK. We have 1 son (newborn) and 1 daughter (2.5 y/o). I am 35yo a...
Is anyone raising a child without having to be in contact to the father of their child? Please any information would be helpful. I don’t have much money but i can definitely start saving to try to acquire someone.
I conceived my child 3 months after knowing their father
so i’ve told both sides of my family and my bd family that we don’t want any visitors for at least 2 weeks after i give birth and we told everyone this months ago, and my bd mum keeps trying to ask to see my newborn. It’s so frustrating as i really don’t feel comfortable with anyone holding or meeting my baby, what ...
Please help!! Anyone else really struggling to get kendamill? We are down to our last tin and are really struggling to find it anywhere :(
I have a friend who came from another county pregnant. The baby father is not here in the US. How should she go about the baby's birth certificate? Will they give her trouble? He is in Africa.
Is anyone absolutely terrified of having a second child? I have one baby and she is almost 15 months old and her daddy and I want her to be an only child like me and the thought of another child taking her attention away terrifies me. How did you get over your fear or is there anything that helped you feel better?
Hey Mum , I’ve been wondering how do you guys do it? How is life being a mum to 2 on the twos? I’ll have a 15 month gap between my children and I’m just wondering. HOW?! Especially in the newborn phase, how do you not neglect the first child? But also give the attention the second child needs 😭 it’s feeling…
You owe your kids. Idc what anyone says, you do. You owe them a solid foundation. You owe them unconditional love. You owe them your time. You owe them experiences. You owe them your loyalty. You owe them a lot. They didn’t ask to be here. Stop giving your kids the bare minimum.
37 weeks today and just tried collecting colostrum for the first time, managed to get 2 full syringes so pretty proud with that! 😅 Feel like I could’ve got more but started feeling a bit sicky so stopped at 2, has anyone else had this?
For those who have changed their child’s surname, how long was the process from start to finish please?
Hi, what has everyone had to eat on the morning of their transfer? So mine is scheduled for 10 am. Last time I just drank water to have a semi full bladder. Didn’t eat anything. First FET failed, didn’t implant. Just wondering 💭
Anyone else not able to get some colostrum 38 weeks 😭
Anyone else have grandparents that are obsessed with baby which is lovely but SO overwhelming wanting me come to see her or texting daily
thoughts on owning a gun as a mother? i’m just curious. if you have it on your person can’t someone else get a hold of it? if it’s in your purse can’t someone else or your child access it? if its locked in your safe (where it should be) and you have an intruder, it’s not like you’ll have time to go unlock the saf...
I’m a white woman I’m 19 and I’m having my first child. The father of the child is still with me. And a lot of strangers when they find out I’m pregnant with a mixed race child assume that I’m just fetishising black men. And they also assume that I’ll be racist to my own child or that I won’t treat them the same. Is...
I'm watching Little fires everywhere and it's really got me scratching my head on what opinion/whose side to take. Children are always going to seek out their bio parents, but I'm also really mad about what the bio mum did, I don't care about the reason why. Who leaves their BABY on their own at night in the cold...
Hi all- my nursery keeps calling my mixed race son by the name of the other black child in his class. How would you approach this?
