I was exhausted yesterday. So I gave 2 month old baby to my husband who was also exhausted after coming home from work. We sleep in separate beds right now so that we can get some rest while the other watches baby. Well… somehow he kept her asleep for 10 hours. She’s never gone more than 3-4 hours without feeding....

My husband is very jealous of me. We have one child together & im pregnant with our second which I will be aborting. Cause I don’t see a future with him. He’s a Nigerian immigrant. I will be leaving soon and filing for divorce. -He doesn’t support me -When I’m in the mirror rather it be doing my hair or make up. ...

I’m a SAHM to my 17 month old son, I’ve never left him with anyone but his dad for longer than 2 hours and it’s not a frequent occurrence. However today I went and got my lashes done so I was out for an hour and a half and when I came back he didn’t run up to me for a hug and some milk like he usually does. He went ...

Sorry a long message but my head is 🤯 I just wondered if anyone else had funded hours with a childminder who only accepts them in term times even though your LO goes all year? My LB will be 2 in April, we get a different bill every month. Sometimes £200 odd sometimes £800 odd depending if there’s a holiday. It’s…

We have two kids and expecting our third. Me and my partner have been having issues for a while, the same argument every single time. Over the last few days I’ve just been a bit withdrawn and just thought about things until today when I’ve just had enough. I’ve told him to leave. Which he has now done after refusing...

What is everyone doing for childcare? I have been on wait lists since 2023 and am still being told that the centres I’ve applied for are full for 2025/2026. I was not expecting this and need to return to work in April. I live in Burlington Ontario and have even applied outside of my town. Any ideas would be very app...

My baby girl has turned 5 months old today. The last few nights she will not stop feeding. I am so exhausted to the point that it’s making me angry in the day and me and my partner have been arguing intensely and I can’t calm down. She will not settle and is up most of the night on my boob. She won’t take a bottle...

My 8 month old is getting his 6th tooth and has been unsettled for 10 days straight. He's been checked by the Dr just to rule out anything else. The google search says a teething episode is around 1 week, so now by the 10 day mark I'm getting really worried. What are your experiences?

Hi everyone, my little one is turning one soon and I just don’t know what to get him for his birthday. I wanted to get him something bigger like a rocking horse or an activity table because he loves standing up. But a rocking horse takes so much space and the activity tables that I’ve found don’t excite me that much...

When we have sex it seems to me like he’s closing his eyes to imagine other women so he can come. I say this because I tell him to keep the lights on and then he says it’s ok let’s switch it off… I want to be intimate so I go with his flow. He looks at other women secretly and when I gaze over at his phone and catch...

When did you start going to mother and baby classes? Or groups? Supermarkets? Coffee shops?

I've just bought Watermelon slices (the size for safe BLW) because there's no way we'd eat an entire Watermelon, but I got home and started wondering if pre prepared fruit (its in date ofc and I'll try it first) is safe to give babies?

Has anyone started their nurseries yet? Is it too early! 23 + 5 and I’m dying to start painting & buying furniture for our baby girl 💕 pics of nurseries welcome if you have started!

Im 31 weeks pregnant and feel absolutely exhausted! I am a stay at home mum with with a 2 year old and am struggling to look after him. He is 100mph and very clingy. He wants me to play with him constantly, he wont sit and play on his own. I admit i have made him this way as i have always played with him and neve...

How is everyone feeling about their little ones starting school next year? I know it’s a while away but starting just after turning 4 seems so young. I know you can wait until they are 5 but I’m really not sure what’s best. Just thought I’d post now while it was in my thoughts. And see how everyone else feels abou...

Me and my husband have always said we wanted 2 children (we are both one of 2) and that we wanted 2.5-3 years between them ideally. As the time gets closer, I’m more and more asking myself whether I could cope with another child. I love my daughter to bits but I wouldn’t say I’ve found becoming a mum ‘easy’ - I miss...

My daughter will be 1yo in 24 days. I'm 31yo she is my one and only. However she is a climber she loves to climb anything. Is there any toys that she can actually climb on? Or baby jungle gyms?

Is pb toast okay for baby tea? Do I give yogurt as desert? First time mum 🙈😆

My partner still wants to keep up the usual every other weekend with his kids but I am EXHAUSTED !! I’ve said to him he needs to take them out and do things without me for these last few weeks because I’m so so tired and sore but he says no so I’ve got our child together (1) his daughter (3) and his other daughter ...

What are we most looking forward to our babies trying?! 😅
