Nursery

Anyone else really struggling with anxiety due to their little one at nursery? My daughter started last week, she goes 2 days a week as I have to work. Feel sick all day as I’m not with her and worrying if she’s ok. Then she gets home, see her for 1.5 hours and it’s her bed time as she’s knackered. Then she’s going ...

Hysterical at pre school drop off

For context my LG started pre school in April and loves it! Always gone in happy until she went back after Christmas. The last two days she has been so hysterical and screaming. It's been so hard to experience this! Her key worker said she calms down straight away after I leave and when I ask my LG she says she's ...

Worried about MIL..

So I know I’m probably jumping the gun as I’ve not even had my baby yet! But as it grows closer I’m just so anxious about issues developing with my MIL. We get along but she has made a few comments over the last 6 months which make me wonder if she has a problem with me. Anyway, her daughter has two young kids (4 &...

Balancing work in the NHS during school hours

Hello I am looking for some advice. Is anyone here in the health care sector? My husband is in the navy. Fortunately he is on land for the next year. However, he can do deployments of 4 months or so at a time. We don't live on base/site. We live near family. We have a 2.5 year old who will start school next Septem...

Does anyone else’s partner constantly tell that they “don’t know why we’re together” or “we should just break up” if so how do you deal with it?

Whenever we have a slight disagreement or I ask him to pull his weight with our children this is the response I get and honestly I think I’m at the point that I don’t care if we do separate now. I really do love him but I’m so fed up of nothing changing and constantly feeling like shit because of it. I don’t rea...

Dinner for my 11 month old!

1 at the end of the week 🥲 Made spaghetti bolognese, added ricotta to his portion to make it creamier. I find he eats beef much better when it’s a little creamier! Is anyone else moving away from making the dinner with three components and just making one big dinner instead?

Pregnancy rage

I am literally hating myself right now. I’m pregnant with my second with a two year old. We have started potty training and my son is doing so well - we have to tell him to go to the potty but he does and we have no pee accidents (minus sleeping). But he won’t poop in the potty. Well today I saw his signs and said...

I'm terrified. Healthy relationship after hurt.

Tired of saying the same thing

My partner is a nursing associate at the hospital and works the children ER (A&E) and I have told him several times to stop putting his clothes with our kids clothes. We have a toddler and 8 months old. I'm tired of saying this.
