My BD bought my child a blanket and saw a photo of another baby with it. He asked if it was her blanket so I lied and said I didn’t think so, knowing he wouldn’t like that. He said he knew I was lying so I said sorry that I shouldn’t have played dumb and said I didn’t know. He threw the blanket in the bin, he later ...

I live in a different city to my mum and she visits me and my son infrequently, maybe once every couple of months for a day or night. I have two older brothers who live closer to her.

Did anyone else feel any resentment towards their husband after having a baby?

I’m a stay at home mom. I have an almost 3 yr old who’s autistic. He needs to be taken to the school and therapy. He’s nonverbal so I stick by his side as of now.

My husband works away for half the week and he has started to check the monitor when he’s away as he says he likes to be able to see our baby in real…

Hi everyone. When I was signing my son up with a new nursery I asked them specifically not to feed him baked beans but today I found out he was given baked beans. The head carer herself told me oh he ate all his baked beans. I was fuming as I do not feed him any food with added sugar and I know baked beans contain s...

My 3 month has all of a sudden got hard to feed. She squirms, kicks and gets so distracted. Sometimes even acts like she doesn’t want it. Should I space feedings out more? Is she just too distracted?
