SD mum has not seen her for two months, and has been uninterested in any arrangements surrounding SD since she moved in 9 months ago. She pays nothing towards her, and it isn’t worth going to CSA because she doesn’t declare her earnings. She speaks to SD once a week, sometimes not at all for weeks at a time and is ...

Really struggling with breakfast for my 8month old. He refuses porridge, weetabix & eggs. I've tried various French toast recipes but again not interested. The only food I can get him to consistently eat is yoghurt, fruit & banana pancakes but I feel like I need to be offering some diversity in his diet! I'd welcome...

What’s everyone doing for the meals during the day? I’m stuck with lunch ideas and a bit too nervous to do solids. We do either an Ella’s kitchen pouch for dinner or homemade blended dinner depending what we’ve done/got and breakfasts we do baby porridge, but just stuck on what people do for lunches that’s not solid...

Is anyone else’s 2 year just not interested in doing it ? She has done two poos and a pee on her potty off her own back just randomly but will withhold pee for 6/7 hours if I try to potty train her! I have just left it for now but I am so anxious about it !

I have two children. My first born daughter, the sweetest, most understanding, funniest child I’ve ever met. She made me think children were simple and easy. Then came my son, made at the worst point in my life. I had a stroke, because of an avm, miraculously made it through. My husband saved my life. I came home fr...

Anyone flown with easy jet recently, online says you don’t need a certificate before 35 weeks- don’t know if I risk it or not. I’ll be 31 weeks on the return flight 😅

I need some honest advice from other mums—please no judgment. I’m a stay-at-home mum with a toddler and an 8-week-old. My partner is currently off work but refuses to help with night feeds or childcare. I’ve asked for basic things like a 4am feed or just time to shower, and he says no. He gets to come and go as he ...

We were honest and said decided to...

Hey. When does your baby start teething. My lil one is 7 month about to be 8 month soon but he still haven’t teething. What are some sign that I should look out for?

I heard you gotta get a new one when they get sick. Do you keep using the old/current toothbrush? Would that not keep them sick longer?

5 year old sitting in dad’s truck, in the front seat with no car seat. Dad moves the car back and forward slowly in the parking spot. This happened in a full public parking lot in front of a store. Would you be mad or say no big deal? This recently as I was standing outside of his car while he and our child was in ...

My in-laws are coming over this weekend, and I’m already feeling anxious about it. Whenever they visit, I end up completely drained. They usually stay from 10 in the morning until 9 at night, and it really throws off my baby’s sleep schedule because his naps get interrupted. Honestly, I dread these visits. I feel to...

I’m starting to get so stressed out. My 18 month old seems to be always teething and randomly food striking but right now more than ever. Throwing food, rejecting everything. They are cutting their molars and got their first ever fever today. It broke quick but my gosh I’m nervous. I can only get them to eat pouch...

My bd is not in child support but claims he is going to send money monthly for my 1 year old.her whole first year of life I have provided literally everything food diapers clothes health insurance etc. She is also in daycare 3 days a week.

Hi! Long story short I’m the type of person who carries my stress with me. I’ll get stressed with the kiddo, the dogs, chores, etc. And then it kind of ruins my mood for hours. It’s put a damper on my marriage.. I’m a SAHM and going to have 2 under 2 in the fall and am worried. how do you deal with stress/overstimul...
