so… i’m not hating on my baby’s father because he does take care of our daughter and i am very grateful for that by all means. but there’s been one thing that bothers the absolute HELL out of me and it’s that he doesn’t acknowledge my daughter or his other 2 sons. he doesn’t post them, doesn’t proudly talk about the...

Hello all! Anyone knows of any weekend activities I could do with my 5 month girl? She's very hyperactive so just going for walks won't do😆 also I've been trying to find a baby friendly gym in East / Bow area but no luck so far. If anyone knows of any please let me know!😁

So my 7 month old boy is on the bigger percentile and always has been since birth We currently have him in size 4 nappies, but recently I think we need to move up to size 5 I got talking to another mum with a little one the same age, and they shamed me on having a bigger baby and that he shouldn't be in size 5 nap...

I've had a message this morning "Please can you let me know when I can see you?" ....which might seem harmless, but it really gets my back up because I know her tone, and it's like this entitled/offended demand rather than saying something like "I'd love to see you, is there a good time this weekend?" Or god forbid ...

Hey, is anyone experiencing a super fussy eater at the moment? My LO is approaching 11m and had always been a good eater but in the last 2-3 weeks will not touch hardly anything I offer!!! He has in the last 2-3 weeks had hand foot and mouth and a cold but I just think it’s him being fussy! Can anyone recommend some...

I have a stepdaughter, a 15 year old but we finally had a baby January this year after taking 3 years to conceive we have been together 9 years. We missed out going to the pumpkin patch because the weekend we planned to go his daughter desperately needed him to get her new leggings so they went into town. I was up...

I’m really struggling with BLW. My LO is nearly 8 months old and he won’t eat anything other than purées or mashed up food. I preload a spoon and he feeds himself, but I just can’t get him to eat finger foods or proper meals. He just plays with it and drops it on the floor. Does anyone have any tips or advice? I’m s...

Me and my partner split everything down the middle. Rent, bills, food - everything. His job is shift work and one week is never the same in regards to his shift patterns and days off, so I can't rely on him for childcare help. Because of this I'm having to reduce my hours to both work to pay my half of things, plus...

Morning Ladies My daughter is 3 a week today and we was planning to take her to Legoland, turns out it is shut. Any ideas of decent days out? We live in Reading and are happy to travel. We are looking at Whipsnade Zoo or London Zoo as potential options. We have only lived in the area about 6 months so still findin...

Does anyone else’s 3 year old just won’t eat breakfast anymore? He used to eat weetabix without fail and now he’ll rather have random stuff for breakfast… biscuits, crisps, cucumber & pepper the list goes on. He’s asked for weetabix twice and literally only had one mouthful of it. He’s also had a fair few mouthfuls...

How much does everyone spend a week on shopping & for how many family members?

My 7 month old loves toast What can I put on toast for her? So far we’ve tried avocado which she really enjoyed

my husband and I have a beautiful 15 month old daughter. She deserves the best in the world. My husband was earning the most and I was at home. He was doing really well and eventually got complacent and stopped making any money. This was all when I had just given birth. Basically in a nutshell, I realised I was in a...

This is the second time that my wife has gone to a work event and came home super late drunk, since my baby was born. The first time she did it, my baby was 5 months. Now she’s 18 months. She promised me that she would be more responsible. She apologized but I’m still so upset. I don’t know what to do. How can she b...

My partner made a comment about not having a good nights sleep all week. And I just gave him a look (like really?! But smiling) Which started an argument. He works long hours and I have it easy He does yeah, but he gets to chill when he's home which is every evening and weekend from Friday lunch time I am at home...

I dont want to talk to anyone in my life about this. But my almost two year old spends two days while im working with her grandparents. They are so close, have so much fun together and she seems to learn more from them then me. Im worried she will see them as her parents, and that she will have a closer relationship...

I asked my husband if he would allow me to remarry if he left this earth before I did. He very quickly replied “yes, my life insurance would go straight to the kids only anyway”. I didn’t say anything after that. I felt like he had just poured a bucket full of ice on me. I felt like a) he doesn’t know who I really a...

Am I exaggerating? So, my in-laws come to visit pretty often out of the 7 days of the week they are in house 3 to 4 or sometimes five days. They stay 2 hrs then leave. They cook and half clean the house when they come and when they leave i have to clean the rest. And sometimes they come 3 times in a day. I understa...

My 20 month old is refusing to eat. Ive tried EVERYTHING: pancakes, eggs, yogurt, rice, nuggies, pasta, you name it. She fights back so hard. Today she ate 2 cookies, 2 bites of a cracker and 2 bites of toast. She will drink full fat milk all day if she could (She has 4 8oz bottles a day)I am getting very frustrated...

I found out a few days ago that my partner has been searching up local escorts / “massage” services / local meet ups with women online to fulfil one of his fantasies. He has also turned on disappearing messages on WhatsApp for these women which I didn’t even know was a thing! I happened to see on his laptop he had s...
