I used to live with my in laws and moved out after giving birth as they caused my PPD. Telling me what I should do with my baby, bitching behind my back,dismissing my rules around my baby. Long story short they love to backbite me but act fake to my face. Whenever I go there they will never bicker but once I leave I...

My LO has been teething for so long, however the past week his symptoms have peaked and his bottom gums along the top look quite white. What were the everyone’s experiences the days leading up to the teeth coming in ? Really hope any day now !

long story short, my bf and i haven’t been getting on well at all recently, our daughter is 10 months old and our relationship was close to ending a few days as we just aren’t getting along. Today, as i was getting ready to shower my bf kept saying he’s taking our daughter to see his mom and grandma (i am not okay...

Feeling very down right now. Need to take baby boy out more often but I’m often held back by the fact that I’m very overweight and can’t do some movements easily- esp in public. Things like getting on and off the floor with him. Carrying him for extended periods or maybe running. I don’t want to go out just us two...

Long story. My current partner slept with a girl a couple of years ago. He told me how much of a mistake it was, she was awful blah blah. Fast forward a few years and around 8 months ago she got his number and started messaging him on WhatsApp. She is constantly messaging him about the past and wanting him to go...

Hi all, my lb has nailed using potty (for wees at least) with nothing on. But whenever he has pants on, he doesn't use the potty at all. Where to go next?

Hi everyone!!! How are you doing? My son’s 13 months old now and I am sooo lost!! Every day he has a new update (I call them updates 😅) in the system and I have no clue what to do with him anymore 🤣 i’m not back at work yet, so I spend most of my days with him. He’s always been a great eater; now he has decided he…

I just had my baby 2 days ago, I’ve noticed that he’s sleeping all the time and isn’t even crying to be fed, it hits 3 hrs after his last feed and I get so worried because he doesn’t show signs that he’s hungry and it scares me so bad. I’m feeling really overwhelmed because I had to be induced and I was not mentally...

My MIL (76) has always struggled with her knees, back and hip. She's just been diagnosed with arthritis in all those areas, moderate in her knees. Some days are better than others. I have a 13 month old who is in nursery Monday - Wednesday. I'll soon be going back to work on Fridays so wanted to put him in nursery...

I have a 1 month old baby, and I am not Nigerian, but my partner is. When he has called his mum back home she has commented that we need to not hold her as much as he usually is holding her on the call and that we should let her cry which I feel uncomfortable with and feel the baby is too young for. Atm, we hold her...

Is anyone else feeling their partner doesn't appreciate how hard pregnancy can be? Anytime I have a little moan or say I'm struggling with something he makes a little comment like being pregnant isn't a disability Still 7 weeks to go but I'm feeling huge and tired. I'm trying but just don't feel up to doing everyt...

I would like a second child because I think long term I would enjoy having a bigger family and love the idea of my child having a sibling. (I am an only child and wish I had a sibling). My husband is not so keen on the idea as he works long hours (50+ a week) and says he always feels so tired. I feel like long t...

Am I the asshole my mother in law lives 10 minutes drive from me since baby been born she's only seen her a handful of times (she's 5months old ) last time see she her was just before Christmas the other day my partner bumped into her in the shops and she was moaning to him as to why we haven't been round and how mu...

What activities are you doing at home with your babies? I feel like I'm not doing enough with my baby during the day. It's hard to do anything outside since it's been so cold. We usually just play with toys, watch Ms. Rachel, and use to walker. Any ideas would be great!

Anyone got any car toys they recommend? Due to go on a 4/5 hour car journey in a few weeks (break in the middle) and want to get my son a couple of toys to keep him entertained. Thank you! X

Hi there, I took my little one to a martial arts free trial. Unfortunately, she didn't want to take her shoes off or join in with the other children. She wanted to go home and was saying no, which embarrassed me. It was her first time seeing this, but it would be good for her confidence, self-defense, and discipli...

Omg… so I know yall will love to hear this horrific fucked up story! My baby daddy is a 31 year old man and is constantly on VrChat (we broke up months ago and I’m currently in another state with another man) he wasn’t paying any kind of child support and was running around his little game on his headset saying he ...

Are there any other teachers in the group? I've been sooo tired and sick this half term, the thought of going back is really daunting! Any top tips to get through the day? First pregnancy, 10 weeks tomorrow 🥰

I have been with my partner for almost three years, we have a 18 month old together. I don’t even know where to begin but it’s been hard really here recently and over and over the thought of not caring about the relationship has come up too many times. I understand being a parent is hard and trying to have a relatio...

Hey, my daughter really enjoys wheatabix for breakfast and I do find myself giving that to her most days, am I a bad mum in doing this? She enjoys it and I admit I probably do it for ease as I know she’ll eat it. What are other people’s thoughts on this? Xxx
