Like the title says, I need it all. Please help. I’m only going to get worse health wise and my kids are still young as in toddler-child ages. I want to teach them all I can, give them a good home, and not make myself worse.

Hello! Hi! I’m exhausted. Feeling defeated. I have an independent 19 month old toddler who rules this house. And I mean…is spoiled. When we are out in public or even home she acts like a fool. She is throwing temper tantrums. Not staying close by near my husband and I and doing her own thing. Obviously I am well ...

I've been feeling trapped, isolated, depressed, all of it. My husband comes home from work and is so tried he takes a nap pretty much after hellos and a snack. Now I understand he's tired, he worked all day but damn, I'm soo sick of feeling still alone after he comes home. Unfortunately we had one of our cars break ...

I'd like to hear from others when they knew their relationship was not worth it anymore? Mine was when I went to my bf (ex now) house and I called asking him to make sure the door was open for me to come in with our baby (it's winter). And I'm greeted with a face full of anger and huffing. So I ask why are you huff...

So I had a single mama order a small order of my carrot cake cups for her kids small get together. They loved them! And I loved them right along with them 🤣🤣🤣 I was so damn happy I had two cups worth of left overs 🤤🤤 This picture is my second cup 🤣🤣 yes.. yes it is a cheese dip jar. We don’t throw glass away…

I’m wondering if anyone has the same issue as me. I feel like my mother in law keeps overstepping the boundaries. My husband calls her 4/5 times per week with my 11 month old daughter. I find it too much and very controlling. He was adopted by her and I really am trying to be empathetic but most of the time it feels...

I Will Post The Other Meals In The Comments. This Photo Was Our Lunch! So damn good 😮‍💨 It was clam chowder, all fresh ingredients served with fresh homemade half (wheat) n half (white) bread topped with a rosemary and garlic butter spread. Breakfast was a delicious fresh homemade apple and sweetened cream cheese…

Hi all!! My toddler is 14 months old and refuses almost everything with texture. He would much rather have pureed food still. I feel like I am at a loss as we offer him everything we eat every meal (which is a wide variety). Any tips, suggestions would be appreciated!! I don’t know if this is a cause for concern?? 🙁

Two weeks ago my husband went out for beers with coworkers because it was his last day. He said a couple hours when he left at 2 and wasn’t home until almost 9 leaving me to spontaneously do dinner and bedtime for all three kids alone. I tried to let it slide because he never does that. Tonight he said he was goin...

Any recommendations for books that teach toddlers about their bodies as they start to grow and explore themselves more? My daughter has started asking about her vagina. (Important to note: We believe in teaching her the proper names for things and destigmatizing shame around our own bodies)

Hello! My little girl is 5 months and we’re looking into weaning her with either baby porridge or baby rice with purées. Does anyone have any dairy free recommendations? Thank you!

I just need to rant. I am 5 weeks pp with my first baby and I am so sick of my bf not helping. He helped at first but now he is back to his usual video games all day. I EBF so that is on me which I have no problem with but he only changes maybe one diaper a week and doesn’t help in any other way. He lets our dog out...

My stepdad has seen my baby a total of 3x. He got offended cus I said I want to hold off on him using the grandfather title when I was pregnant since he kept mentioning it so much .so he distanced himself for months. Now he’s came around and I feel like he’s gone to the other extreme again. The first time when he sa...

My husband and I of 7 years recently divorced because he had a baby with another woman! He wants nothing to do with our 2 children or the baby I’m currently pregnant with! He said he doesn’t want to know when the baby is born or gender, nothing! He moved out last month, so he don’t live close anymore… I’m so stuck w...

We have been potty training for a while. But the one this is he does fantastic when he doesn’t wear anything and goes bare bottom. The moment I put underwear on him he pees and poops in them. I am wondering if he thinks they are diapers. The problem is he doesn’t care if he pees or poop in his underwear. He will be ...

Wondering if I could get some advice here about nursery. My little boy has been in the same nursery for over a year and the last few months has moved into the big toddler room and since then a few things have happened that I’m just not sure if I’m overreacting to or if I should address with the managers. First thi...

Been with my husband since I was 15 (17 years) Every job he gets we fight over him cheating. He always acts weird, hides messages and is currently doing this now at his current job. He takes an absolute fit by calling me names and being aggressive if I say anything or call him out. What should I do? This happens at ...
