Just here to vent. I’m a WFH mom of 2, one is 3 yrs old with sensory issues and developmental delays, and a 9 month old. My husband suffers from depression, anxiety, possible ADHD and alcoholism. He def loves his kids and is such a great dad when he’s mentally good and present, but otherwise struggles a lot - he is ...

I'm done having kids... I would like more kids, but I don't want multiple baby fathers, and I definitely won't be having any more by my children's dad. I'm currently 5 months pregnant and have a 1 year old. He's there financially, but he thinks that's all that matters. Smh, he was never shown affection as a kid or b...

Have been potty training for over a month now with very little progress. When did you start taking them out in an underwear? We haven’t done that yet but I’m thinking I should start soon.

My partner is a wonderful provider and I’ve been a SAHM for 20 months. He’s also taken on $10K of my debt. I do all the baby rearing house stuff. Do you think he should be able to go on solo trips to away football games? He’s taken 5 trips in 20 months where I have to solo parent for like 5 days. It leaves me extrme...

Guys just sharing that we've discovered the vacuum cleaner sound sends our four week old to sleep in an actual instant!! Such a game changer! Just passing along in case it works for anyone else!

What toys or gadgets are we getting for our 5month old babies ?? I want to get her something that helps her sit up & also something to help her stand up because those are the two things she’s practicing right now . Also something to help toys that’ll help with her raising her arms fully

So I’m currently a SAHM and my daughter is about to turn 1. I’m looking to go back to work when she’s about 18 months, I’m wondering is it best to apply for the funded hours and find a nursery first or to find a job first? I’ll only be looking for something part time, maybe 2-3 shifts per week max.

A post has just been made, but my topic is slightly different. I basically need to ventilate, talk about it, ask for opinions, because I'm obsessed with the concern since the nursery team mentioned it, and I can't stop thinking about it. We have our 2 years appointment on the 25th and I guess these two weeks will pa...

I need to diversify! 🧢👏🏼🥤👍🏽

So I was so overwhelmed with the weaning after the first couple of weeks and gave my baby the jars and pouches (I was starting back to work too so these were handy) but baby will not eat anything I make. I know she doesn’t even know the difference between my cooking and pouches but she just will not entertain it if ...

4 days postpartum and my husband has really pissed me off. I had to have a c section because my first did a lot of damage when coming out. In my hospital our husbands stay in a private room with us with their own fold out beds as the midwives feel the c section mothers need help with lifting their babies and going ...

My LO has started going to daycare a month ago and he is crying all day. We send him for 2 days a week but he is not at all ready to settle in. My heart breaks seeing him crying all day long. Has anyone experienced the same and how much time did your LO took to settle in the new space.? I also feel the teachers are ...

My husband is great with our daughter and I am truly grateful for his support and how present he is as a father. We have been through a recent period of very unsettled nights (this lasted for months) where my daughter wanted to breastfeed continually ( she was previously night weaned). I normally let her feed but it...

I’m out of ideas what to buy for my nephews. We never see them unless we go visit. They’ve been invited many times and never come over unless it’s for Christmas and we live just 30min away. I’m not looking to invest too much in those presents. Maybe 25$ each and under? The problem is their mom has made them incredib...

I’m 26 and never graduated high school and I’ve finally decided to go back st get my GED. I’m pretty smart, the only subject I’ve ever had issues with is math. Anyone take the GED test and can tell me what the math portion is like? Or any of the tests😭

I have a very busy lifestyle, two kids, working full time, lots of after school clubs.. my baby is so used to this, but I need some meal ideas that are relatively quick and simple for those busy days! Please.🙏🏻

I'm really struggling for ideas for Christmas presents for my little boy, has anyone got any idea what they're getting for their little ones? 😫

My 2 year old has been so naughty today like the naughtiest he's ever been and all I've done today is shout. I feel awful, apologised to him but he just finds it hilarious and carries on. I'm due to give birth anyday now and my partner reckons he's gotta be doing it for a reason. All I'm saying is its gonna be a lo...
