Toddler & Child

My little one has been hurting me physically for a few months now, started with biting and teared at my skin now almost daily basis if I don't give in to the demands, he will scratch hard, pinch and chinese burn me. I am just really hurt physically and emotionally, especially on a tiring day. Now, at times, I feel r...

My son has been going through it lately, and I've been doing my best but the last few days I feel like I'm going to break. He's pushing boundaries, resisting, throwing tantrums. I understand it's all normal part of development, but I'm struggling and don't have much of a village. Today, we had a big morning, and we ...

My sister told me I'd be abusing any child I bring into the world being a disabled mum when I told her I was having trouble conceiving but wanted a child. I continued to speak to her because I respected her opinion and was loyal to her. Her son who is the same age as me messed up his relationship, lied, smoked drugs...

Partner is suddenly doing more overtime usually works from 7.30am to 4pm. He's now doing 6am-5pm and it's starting to get later and later so today he's there until 6pm. I'd understand if me or the kids see the money but we don't. He won't be home until 7pm earliest and our kids will be in bed then...thing is he neve...

The one I know and try to do is a load of laundry every day. When I stick to it my life is a lot easier.

This is definitely a different post than the rest and I can’t help feeling guilty for the way I feel. Basically my BD who is also my fiance and I have been together 3 years and we are two kids in. We live together, while I’m a sahm and he works anywhere from 35-80 hours a week. I am so appreciative for him and wh...

This is going to be a rant. I love my husband and I’m happy I’m with someone that o can parent my kids with. However I find myself getting frustrated at the lack of initiative. I am a mother who is working full time and still having to take our son to daycare. He has been a SAHD for a few months as he was let go fro...

I had a destination wedding so not any people were able to make it from my side. One of my friends who was a bridesmaid came with her boyfriend. Everything was fine until the evening, my friend came up to me upset and pissed off saying one of my husband’s groomsmen’s girlfriend was flirting with her boyfriend and be...

My daughter is so picky, sometimes she eats biscuit for dinner.

Ok so I got into an awkward situation on here today. Everyone around me talks about babies being so cute that they’re “edible.” For example, so cute I can eat him up. Or, I’m gonna bite her cheeks Or, I’m gonna gobble her up Obviously no one intends to eat the baby, it’s a phrase a lot of people use but apparentl...

My brother in law lives in London and we live in Newcastle so he has made a point of booking to come up 2ish weeks after the baby is born to see the baby. I’ve just had my MIL round to the house and she said he’s wanting to see the baby as much as possible when he’s up for the week not just one day. The thing is it’...

Little boy turns 3 in October and I am considering moving him to a school based nursery. My thoughts behind this are that the school based nursery is bigger and has more structure so it will help him get ready for reception. However, I’m worried it might be too early to put him in this setting and may unsettle him. ...

Feel as if it’s was much easier with a girl, but worried my boy will wee everywhere 😅

Why don't men get that we lose ourselves to being a sahm. That having to meet our children's needs from birth is not something that easily goes away. Then add more more children to the equation, adds more needs to be met. At least until the age of 3 do they start showing some independence, but it's still small. The...

When my kid turns 10yo I will teach them responsibilities and give them chores. Obviously there will be times I will take care of everything but ultimately I want to teach them to be responsible early on.
