Hi, I’m 4 weeks postpartum on Monday and I just got into an argument with my husband because he’s super messy. He will take food out of the fridge or the drawers and leave them out for me to put back in, he will leave clothes and stuff on the floor, etc. I have been doing the dishes and stuff and tidying up whenever...

So i’ve never been one to fully limit screen time until my daughter hit 19 months. We went completely cold turkey 4 weeks ago on Sunday on tv (she doesn’t have any other form of screen) because her tantrums were horrific and she wanted her dummy so much more when watching it. We kept it to low stimulating shows etc ...

Idk if this is practical or not… my sons dad can no longer take him to school and if I book him in for breakfast club he will be in school for almost 11 hours a day. Does anybody know if some childminders will just do drop off? I would pay for an hour of their time

My son is 10 months and lately whenever he sees me he cries for me. As long as I'm out of sight he's fine but if he hears or sees me he will go off. With my husband and in laws he doesn't get as upset but with me he refuses to be out of my hands. Has anyone else experienced this? I work from home and need to fin...

Hi, Has anyone had any experience with muddy puddles nursery and could let me know what they think. We had a tour the other day and it seemed lovely but wanted to see if anyone had any first hand experience to share. Thanks,

My brother and sister don’t care for him at the moment because he’s too opinionated and apparently the rest of the family thinks he is too. That’s news to me that they all have the same feelings about that. I wish they would’ve told me sooner instead of me hearing about it through others now that they’re mad. My ...

I am just not myself anymore. My partner of 8 years is the most selfish man. He goes away next week for a full 7 days. Monday to Monday. Leaving me with 2 year old and 3 month old. Told me this morning he won't be around tomorrow because the boxing is on so the kids won't actually see him until Sunday. But he just ...

I have a 9 week old baby boy who is constantly upset over the last 4 weeks and I’m not sure what to do. The GP has prescribed gaviscon because he was being a little sick then upset during and/or after his bottle (breastmilk) which has now in turn constipated him so now he is straining and getting upset. I have been ...

She just spits it out or wont take it at all. 😫 I am so worried that when shes off formula shes gonna start losing weight because she just wont eat.

Hello! I’m not homeschooling but I do want my son to have the best possible chance when he goes to kindergarten in the fall. I wanted to prep him all through summer so we have something to do everyday and had some questions! Is there an app or website you get the practice and learning sheets from? I have no clue w...

I pick up overnight shifts occasionally. He does the laundry but we both haven’t had the chance to fold and separate but she does have clothes hung up in the closet. This man grabbed a black and blue checkered pants with teal and pink pants and some yellow and blue Mickey Mouse shoes and sent her to school like tha...

I've been reading a little about serving hot food on plastic plates etc in terms of microplastics and chemicals leeching into food and am starting to move away from plastic and my little one already eats off of a adult side plate as her main dinner plate. I also find the plastic plates etc get scratched and grubby a...

Hey guys so I have a two year old and a two month old. I have been feeling incredibly burnt out just doing the same things every day… changing diapers, making snacks, cleaning, etc. I don’t really have anyone to help or talk to. I lost all of my friends after having kids and my family lives quite far away. Since I s...

If you are unemployed how much money does your partner give for your child? How much is reasonable?

So for our daughter’s birthday we are going to the zoo and plan on getting pizza after the zoo. The day before the zoo we are having something small at our house with just family. Any suggestions what I should have for food? At first I thought just get some pizzas but don’t want pizza two days in a row. It’s only ...

Am I overreacting with the situation? A typical day of our life is, my MIL helped out to take care of LG when husband and I are at work. But recently my LG is not feeling well, and my MIL keeps on saying that its good to bring her outside and enjoy the weather. I told her nicely 3x that we will take her outside afte...

So my husband has been with soo many women in the past, body count is over 100 😑 anyway I’ve only been with him and I didn’t know about his history as he lied in the beginning due to fear of being judged. So sometimes he forgets if he’s been to somewhere with me or someone else, like yesterday we went golf, he was…

Hi moms! 🧡 First-time mom here! 👋🏼 My baby just turned 10 months old, and I'm starting to wonder at what point we start "disciplining" babies. Mealtimes are more difficult because he throws food on the floor, not because hes not hungry but because he finds it funny! Also when we stop him from going somewhere or…
