My little girl is 3 weeks old and we love getting out for walks so far we’ve only really done the hoe and plymbridge … any suggestions on pram friendly walks in and around Plymouth?

Today my 2 year old daughter was super rambunctious. She had been dismissing foods she normally eats and starts yelling out of no where. My husband just started back to work after being off for a few weeks after having our new baby. So we are all still adjusting to having a new baby in the house. Well tonight at di...

Every time we have a plan he changes last minute. I’m starting to think it’s abusive how he changes his mind every time last minute. For example he’s changes his mind twice now on our holidays despite the fact that i had booked and paid for the hotels he switches up last minute. It’s not just holidays though it’s a ...

Hi, I want to share this situation because I need some outside validation. I’m a SAHM, and my husband works Monday through Friday, he’s off on Saturdays, and works again on Sundays. We’ve had some really tough moments because I’ve been taking care of our baby alone, day and night, since she was born. I have no famil...

I've heard about seriously long waiting lists to get children into nursery but wondering if anyone knows if that's the same in/around Gateshead? I'm not sure how far in advance we need to start looking at trying to book a place? If anyone knows anything or has any advice that would be fab 😊

Hi, My daughter is nearly 2 and is such a sociable child. Shes an only child with hardly any children around her and her speech is getting fairly good. I feel like she would really benefit from going to nursery even if it's once a week (if that's a thing?) maybe towards the end of the year when her speech is more ...

Knocked once (barely my oldest came and told me and at the 2 nd knock I was walking down the hall and he’s unlocking my door)and bc no one answered just walked in. I have a few maintenance orde...

I feel like we have a boring marriage he comes home plays video games and I clean the house or take care of the kids non stop I take the time when my kids are in school and he’s at work to myself to have a little time for me since I don’t get enough time for myself what can me and my husband do that doesn’t cost mon...

I genuinely can’t stop crying. I thought he was going to step up and do the right thing for once but he doesn’t. He always pretends he never wanted our son but I swear to god last year we tried and tried for him. We moved into a four bedroom home and got married to HAVE kids. Now we have our baby he blames me for ev...

So my baby boy is 7 weeks old and his dad and I are trying to co parent. I find it really difficult as during our relationship (which ended about 9 months ago and was pretty brief) he was emotionally abusive / manipulative and what made me leave was when he got physical out of anger. I can’t trust him and I am so an...

My toddler is 16 months old and I’m a stay at home mum feeling very overwhelmed currently. She is a lovely child but recently everything is hard, she used to eat really well but now will only eat fruit and frozen food, she fights sleep badly and transitioning to one nap has been hard but needed as she wouldn’t do he...

I’m convinced I’m married to a covert narcissist. The marriage has been very rocky since I got pregnant. I feel all he cares about is just himself, he never asks me how I feel & dismisses me when I share the pain I’m going through. I’m 32 weeks pregnant & it’s been rough these past two weeks. He never has time to go...

Hello do any moms use pbs kids for kids shows or what apps do you use and what is better I want to get a good app for my kids to watch

Can you please recommend a potty; I’m not planning to strictly “potty train” more a natural process. My LG has become very intrigued when I go to the loo, and understands we are doing the same thing- she is obsessed with standing and peeing nappy free 🙄 So thought it a good time to put one in the bathroom to grow…

Hey, we have never been and looking to go spring next year with a toddler and a baby. Can anyone recommend or advise if most places were pram friendly? x

Has anyone has the same exeprience as me? I lose my patience now everytime my baby cries. Hes already 15 months and still cries every freaking nap time and sleeping time at night. Even in the middle of the night upto 4-5x a night he cries everytime he stirs. Im so tired of his cries and I just cant help but be mad a...

Hey guys, I am new to California, I am looking for some good options to help my 2.3 yr old daughter to grow. I see here in san diego cost of day care is too high so I want to check any other good option my husband earns but that is just good for our survival we are not able to accommodate day care fee in our budget...

I have no idea where to start with potty training. Don’t know why, I’m so nervous about it. Anyone else in same boat and don’t have a clue where to start? Nursery said wait until she is 2 and gets moved up a class and they will help. Should I try doing anything at home before hand? X
