Hello ladies. Please, I need your candid opinion. My husband lied about his trip. He actually made a hotel reservation in a city different from where he told me he was going. I found out a few hours ago and decided to make a reservation at the same hotel just to see for myself, and this time, he won't be able to ex...

I have a feeling this may get intense people seem to have strong feelings around toothpaste, or fluoride rather 😅 To fluoride non spitting toddlers or not to fluoride? Dentist said, yes 😬

My LO is 8 weeks old and twice in the past week I have not been able to settle him, almost all day. It’s so upsetting, I feel useless. Is anyone else going through this?

Here I am , day 2 of busting my ass cleaning his house because his mother (who lives with him) asked me to , to get ready for Thanksgiving. He has the balls to ask me “did you do the baseboards?” “Did you do this?” Etc. then tell me his version of cleaning is very different than mine. I said well there’s a reason yo...

I never felt such a horrible mum before. I brought my older son to the playground and the baby was sleeping in the baby carrier. Less than 5min into the playground I fell over as I was trying to retrieve my 3 years old shoe that was stuck and I FELL ON MY BABY! I managed to roll over before hitting his head and I th...

Has anyone got ideas on how to keep a 8 week old entertained and get some smiles?

I just found out my mortgage is 4 months behind as my partner hasn't been paying it. The dynamics are that I pay utilities while he pays the mortgage.i asked him where his money was spent (he's a top mechanic at work) and he stated it's because of too much food ordering. Even though I cook quite often. What should I...

I'm getting so stressed, I'm only on day 2 and my son just won't go on his potty when he needs a wee he's peed on the couch 4 times, in the kitchen and in the living room plenty of times. I've had to sit him on his potty for a period of time and when he pees I've made it very dramatic and said yay clever boy etc but...

Hello, looking for a bit of advice. A few weeks ago my LO was badly constipated but it improved after getting some medicine from the GP. However since then, she is having the most horrendous time going to the toilet, clearly holding it in and getting herself in such a state sometimes for an hour at a time because sh...

Broke up with my sons dad over 2 weeks ago. Ended on somewhat good terms. Now I will be cutting off my narcissistic father. Offered to “help” by giving me a place to stay then manipulating the situation to play the victim while I’m already at my lowest. My son deserves a healthy environment. I only made an effort to...

FTM here so no clue, my baby’s bottom teeth are coming through, one is cut (I can literally see the gum cut and tooth under) the other isn’t. Once the gum is cut is that the worst of it? Or does it carry on as the tooth grows? Hoping the other tooth will follow soon. Shes not been doing too bad overall but her sle...

Has anyone else experienced something similar? He wants to focus on himself to make his health better. He’s talking about his health night and day. I understand he has health anxiety and I have to keep reassuring him on top of looking after the children and working. And this is making me feel even more stressed....

We would love to go on a day out, but it's so cold now! Has anyone got any recommendations? We live in Redhill, Surrey, and we drive, so don't mind a little drive!

I’m doing a fabric advent calendar for my two year old as he isn’t allowed sweets or chocolate. Was thinking’s doing little toys and maybe little ginger bread man. Anyone got any ideas what to fill it with?

I feel like we are stuck in the same routine every day. Wake up, make breakfast, clean, cook, wash never-ending mountain of dishes, change nappies, and before I realise it's already nap time. She sleeps for about 2 hours, then wakes up, I cook and clean again for dinner. We don't really go out much, with the weather...

Does anybody else fill with anxiety at the thought of a visit from the in laws? They haven’t visited for 4 months and it’s been nothing but trouble with them. How can I deal with this?

What sort of things are you giving baby for lunch? We always give a hot meal at dinner time either puree or the same as what we eat. For lunch we usually give toast and try some fruit or carrot sticks but I’m looking for inspiration! Also he’s going to be going to grandparents while I’m back at work next month and...
