Hi all I guess I just want to use this space to vent/clear my head.

I think about it all the time, get jealous when I see other Mums out and about...

My son is almost 13 months and he has super bad separation anxiety from me. I can’t even shower without him scream crying.

How do you know when your LO is ready to potty train? My son has recently started crying whenever he does a poo in his nappy and runs to his changing mat. He will also say when he’s doing or done a poo (not before). Is there extra things I should look for him doing as a sign of readiness? He still has heavy wet napp...

Anyone else living with their inlaws? How are you coping? I feel like I’m losing my mind everyday.

My twins are almost 5 years old, and I have lost joy in being a parent. I miss my previous life so much sometimes , the constant fighting between both of them and one of them is so mean, and the other cries for the simplest of things. They don't listen half the time, so I have to keep repeating myself. Bedtime is ...

They have been doing some bike riding at school with their PT but we have not bought them bikes in the past due to safety issues.

Long story short, my husband has been staying home with my son while I went back to work after maternity leave and he has been job hunting. Baby boy is on solids and formula now but when I go to work 4 days of the week, my husband isn’t good at giving the solids so my son only eats a solid meal at dinner when I come...

I was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety, and am now 5 months postpartum. I have recently become intimate with my husband again but only occasionally and not as frequently as before.

Has anyone introduced solids at 4 months?

My five month in chews his fingers when he’s teething and we have teething toys but he prefers his hands. My father in law saw this and told us not to let him do this as he will get “funny fingers”. Do we really need to worry about that?

Okay, maybe a stupid question, but how do you guys take off poo filled pull ups? My daughter refuses to sit still and wants to stand but if I take off a poo filled nappy, it just goes everywhere 😭 Any tricks or tips welcome
