I watch my niece, she is 7 months. My son really struggles to share his toys. He’s 20 months. He does great if it’s something that she brought from home he will happily give it to her when she drops it. I am conflicted on if it’s best to force him to share his stuff or have designated his and hers toys at this age. ...

Anyone struggling with their babies separation anxiety?!

My little one has been good with solids since he started at 6 months. We've been doing a mix of purees and finger food since the beginning and he's usually given everything a good try. The last week or so he's been really fussy sometimes refusing whole meals. Has anyone else had this and got any advice?

Hey, mom’s! I got a question since I’ve been getting some mom guilt. I have a 3 (almost 4 in April) step daughter & I just wanna know if there’s a thing as “too much” independent play time. I’m not sure if I follow this cuz how I grew up or it’s perfectly fine! She typically wakes up, watches cartoons in her room un...

Hi Ladies, hope someone can help me out on this. I have recently split up from my husband and as we no longer live together I am in receipt of UC. I would love to send my daughter nursery but cannot cope with costs - total I get from UC doesn’t even cover my rent and I am months behind everything. I have been told I...

I have started planning my wedding and a friend I met on this app has assumed she’s invited to my wedding and even said ‘don’t get married / pick your wedding date on ‘X’ day because I’m maid of honour at ‘X’ wedding’ (I haven’t picked a venue or date yet) and also offered to help with invitations which is really ni...

I have a 4 week old tomorrow and I am trying to do things in his wake window to keep him awake more during the day than night time. Anybody got any home activities I can do? My confidence still needs building and I am to scared to go out for walks by myself right now with him.

I’ve been with my partner for 15 years and I’ve never felt so alone. There’s no effort on his side and I’m always craving attention from him. Mother’s Day was the one special day for me and I told him aswell and he made zero effort and always brings up excuses. Is it time to say goodbye to him. He doesn’t validate m...

We got in a fight yesterday because he wasn’t helping me as much as I’d hoped but I’m honestly realizing that I have zero support (we both come from abusive families and we live in a college town. All of our friends moved away recently). He’s already doing more than enough especially considering how much he works ...

My main struggle is pooping on potty….how do we get him to go poop on the potty and let us know before hand he has to go? We want to get him fully pot...

Anyone got any ideas in how to keep their 9/10 month old entertained?!? Needs to be relatively cheap, and preferably home based. At the moment my LO only wants to climb (into the empty fireplace or all over me), pull everything of everything, or play plonk (climb up something then plonk down on her bottom. She doe...
