Hi, I’m slightly concerned with my daughter and I was wondering if some moms may have advice for me to see if it’s even worth bringing up to her pediatrician.

My (not so) little one has tantrums over food all day, every day. He goes into a full blown melt down if we say no to him having food (obviously only when we know he isn’t actually hungry or if the food isn’t appropriate for him such as being too spicy). He could eat a full sized dinner and dessert (like a banana)...

I have a 17 month old son, his dad hasn’t been around he’s met him once which was very very brief..

We are 8 days into potty training and my daughter is doing amazing. Only had 3 accidents and goes by herself and doesn't have to be reminded/asked to go.

How do you deal with feeling like you're being treated like crap by your significant other? I have been staying home with our 19 month old for about 5 months now because he needed a break from taking care of her. I do everything for her. Even when he got 2 weeks off he literally changed only 2 of her diapers. I have...

My 5 year does not listen to anything I say. He will attack me or his sister if he doesn't get what he wants. I do the Redirecting method, time outs, I take toys, I try to have him sit down but that doesn't work at all. ( he won't sit down) He will spit, kick, scream. If I try to put him in time out in a different ...

This week my child has been ill and so has to stay home with me, I have no other care for her other than myself. But yet my manager is getting annoyed I'm off work so much because of it. She wants to have a meeting and has asked about someone else looking after my child but my only option is a babysitter which will ...

If you have climbing furniture for your little one out all the time, but other children are visiting and might be too big for it, should you put it away or leave it out? What about other toys which are for very little children?

How often do you have a kid-free evening to do whatever (eg. get dressed up and go out with friends, play sports, or maybe just a soak in the bathtub) My hubby goes for soccer once a week, for a couple of hours or so. I’m thinking it’s only fair I get some time to myself as well (even if it’s just a couple of hours...

My husband is a narcissist. He is cheating on me but gas lighting by saying I am in the wrong for not giving him affection whilst I have done as much as I could in last 5 months. I want to get away from him, like so far away in a different country but if I take my child like this it will be classed ads abduction. ...

When parents call their kids “bubba” constantly. That and “hubby” is so cringey to me. I literally grimace every time I see or hear it

Hi mums, I sadly lost my gran unexpectedly a week ago we shared an incredible bond she was more like my mum then a gran. Unfortunately I hadn’t seen her for a year as I moved to a different state to her and all my family a few years ago. I’m unable to travel back home as I am 37 weeks pregnant so will miss her fun...

Is anyone’s 13m able to feed themselves yoghurt with a spoon (or something like chia pudding)? My LO is a fussy eater so idk if he can’t or just doesn’t want to! Although I’ve seen him attempt to use a fork (unsuccessfully 😂)

Is everyone entitled to free hours from age 3, even if 1 parent is a stay at home parent?

I’m running out of ideas for my daughter! She breaks out in an irritated reaction if I serve her eggs, cheese, butter or milk by themselves. However she loves her baby yogurt and can have milk & eggs baked into things (like pancakes & bread). Anyone else’s child like this? What are your meal ideas? She loves chicken...

I’m about to start my 6 month old on their solid food journey, any advice on what I should start with and whether pured pouches from the shop are good to use?

Hello, I’m trying to get my head around weaning as I will be going back to work at the same time so want it to be as simple as possible 😅 From my research my understanding is that baby eats what we eat & we all sit and eat together. Does it matter what meal it is or what they eat? Does anyone have any tips on how…
