We have recently moved in a 3 bedroom house from a 1 bedroom flat. When we first views the house, we thought it would be low maintenance and we could move in and settle before it would require any sort of work. Well within 30 mins of walking around after getting the keys, we realised this place requires major work b...

Am I being selfish? I get some partners probably got far less than me but I was expecting a different kind of effort from mine. So on Saturday, I got up and left the house in the morning, took my daughter to my Mums and I went and got my nails done. My partner left the house a couple hours after I did to go to wor...

Our friends have booked for me & my husband to have 2 nights away next week, which is lovely but I have so much mum guilt I want to cancel. I have a 2 year old girl & 10 month old boy. I’m not worried about leaving my 2 year old as she loves her nan & is used to us having the odd night away. But I’ve never left my 1...

My husband and I are having so much trouble. I feel like we can’t have a conversation that doesn’t end in us bickering. I can’t seem to communicate with him and my brain fog makes it so much worst. My husband also has a very specific way of talking and understanding things so it makes it more complicated for me at t...

Does anyone else have a mother in law who calls everyday lol? 🤣🤣 It's so annoying like everyday. Always wanting to ask if we're okay about 100 times like she wants us not to be okay lol. Constantly asking where I am if I haven't spoke to her in a week and makes me feel too much pressure to constantly be in contact…

My daughter is 2 years old, she’s a very picky toddler and it’s getting so frustrating. I feel like I’m not feeding her enough or something. She use to eat a lot, almost everything we put on her plate. We did blw, we introduced her to veggies, fruits, grains, meats and dairy. She use to eat a lot of meat, some veggi...

I should probably start by saying I’m hormonal as my period is due any day, but I am getting fed up of my partner and his lack of contributions in the house. I am the main breadwinner of the household and thankfully had 6 months full pay mat leave. I dont want to get too into specifics of finances but he moved into...

Am I being unreasonable for being upset with my MIL? My partner works for her in the family business and asked for Mother’s Day off as it is our first one (didn’t even know I was pregnant last year). But his mum said no because she was going to see her partners mum and siblings. Am I in the wrong for feeling like sh...

Can’t express my feelings to my husband as his comments are well you wanted a baby, or takes things I say & twists it, to sound like I’m saying I’m not coping. So just giving up, tired of it. I know I’m a good mum to my daughter & I do 90% of the care 24/7 aswell as run the house etc. but just get told you are on ma...

I have 2 kids, 3yo and 4m. My husband complains that I spend too much time with them and saying kids ruined his life and my relationship with him and wish he was single. Me and my husband had past issues with his parents mainly his mother trying to tell us how to parent, wants to always see the kids she has said pre...

My partner pitties himself constantly. He works out of the office and I work from home with our two kids, 9 months and 2.5 years. He works and then we have a market garden business on the side that we both help with but he does the bulk of the physical work, which he loves. I do back office stuff mostly since I watc...

My hubbys grandma, swings so far left she’s taken it out on my daughters. Let’s preface this by saying we have very opposing political views. I don’t let that cause me anything. I’ve set a boundary to talking politics with her. Though, she’s taken it a step too far. Our states governor has banned fluoride in the wa...

Has anyone else’s partner ruined their first Mother’s Day? My Partner started the day off by starting an argument over me going to see my mum with the baby this afternoon because we don’t see his mum a lot (who btw is on a cruise atm) he then gave me my presents(which he used my money for) and turned round and sai...

Hey, started potty training & going really well with peeing. Issue is that my LO hasn’t moved his bowels for 3 days now. Complaining that he needs a poop or telling me he needs his nappy changed because he has pooped but he hasn’t. He’s often running to me quite upset saying oh no poo. Like it’s a bad thing. When w...
