Myself and my partner have a baby daughter and he has a 12 year old from a previous relationship. We have said we weren't going to spend much on baby for Christmas, but he has already spent over £200 on his other child. Is this just something I need to accept or should something be mentioned?

So I don’t even know why I’m here writing this as I know there’s no solution but I’m just so overwhelmed today and haven’t stopped crying. My partner is away with work this week and next. I’m a first time mum to a gorgeous boy of 6 months. He’s a Velcro baby which I kinda love but I literally can’t do a thing withou...

Just found out, as my son turns 1, that he is intolerant to dairy, oat, coconut... among many many more 😭 I always suspected, but doctors dismissed all of his symptoms. I'm having major mum guilt right now for not pushing and giving him a regular cows milk formula for so long. Doctors won't prescribe him any milk…

My little one is 2 in December and she’s so weird with food. If I cut fruit up and put it in a bowl or on a plate, she won’t eat it. If I put it in a small pot, sometimes she’ll eat it. However at her grandparents when they give her a small pot of fruit she eats it no problem. I was always told to show them when you...

My house is always clean, but as you know my clean and someone else’s clean may not always be the same. My future mother in law asked me to do a deep clean on her house before Thanksgiving. I’m shitting bricks. She wants woodwork , dusting, bathroom, etc. the whole nine yards. Just the downstairs. Does anyone have...

I’m kinda getting worried as a first mom here when your baby is teething could it cause fevers around 15months old ? 😓😭😭🥹 should I be worried or is this normal?

I am at my wits end! So my daughter is now four let inlaws, so the parents, husbands siblings and even his cousins and their kids say my daughters name wrong. I have told them multiple times and say her name correctly yet they must do it out of spite! They kick off if anyone mispronounces their names wrong (i have o...

Help! He won’t eat anything at dinner times and other meals are becoming a struggle too. He’s suddenly got an aversion to everything. I couldn’t even get him to eat potato waffles and they are usually a sure get! What do I do?

I am trying to limit screens and whatnot, but I find it incredibly difficult as there are 2 under 2. How much screen time do you have?

Is anyone's else's nearly 4 year old not eating at dinner time (evening meal) I make a meal knowing she will eat it, but no I don't want dinner, not I don't like it, just doesn't want to eat it. Been going on for a while. She's OK during the day i don't let snacks interfere with meals. Just SO frustrating!

I haven’t even thought about applying. I’m going back to work soon for 2 days a week and my mum doesn’t work so she’ll have her for the 2 days but everyone I know is talking about putting their LO in nursery or signing up for the year after (when they’re nearly 2) Does every single baby normally go nursery at 2?!

Any tips on this please x

Hi! I’m thinking of doing some KIT days. Any teachers done them already? Did you have to cover lessons or was it just admin/training etc?

Anyone have a fussy toddler or any tips, my little boys diet consists of - breadsticks, plain pasta, plain rice…. He will not eat anything else, we always make him what we are eating but he will throw it away or on the floor or just not eat. Apparently he eats his lunch at nursey although I hardly believe that! Man...

My baby is 6 months old and we’ve started weaning her about a month ago. She has just breakfast, the odd little snack and sometimes an evening meal. When do you start giving your baby 2/3 meals a day?x

Just need to vent… Probably my hormones making it worse for me. Im EBF but my period came at week 8 and im due on again today. My washing machine broke this morning and it looks like I’ll either need to get a professional to fix it or get a new one. I was planning on buying a new car but the interest rates were ...

My lease states that pest control will be provided every third Thursday of the month. They’re almost never consistent but in the last two years we have lived here they usually come. They’re almost never last 4-6 months I’ve noticed more bugs than usual. Majority of which are spiders or roaches or stink bugs. We live...

Currently having an issue with my toddler throwing up her bedtime bottle and wondering whether to adjust her dinner time...

I’ve got 11 month old twins, husband is wfh but busy on calls. When off calls he likes going to garage fix things around the house or car and he often does it til late and spends only 30 mins in a day with the twins. It frustrates me as I am with them 24/7, he always has ‘things to do’ which is true but I think babi...
