I’m pregnant with first baby and their first grandchild. We’ve married 7 years and me feeling suffocated has been a source of practically all of mine and hubbbys disagreements/arguments over this time. We went out for dinner and I got told I need to accept help and let people in more (wanting to buy things by mil...

I’m looking for a new Daycare job to work at and to take my two year old with me any suggestions preferably in McKinney but I’m interested in other locations and also interested in what daycares not to go to.

So baby boy is now 2 months old and have noticed his dad to be very unreliable , wondering if theres anything I can do to help things..?

My sister is doing our Dad's birthday cake and having a wobbly because it's not perfect. She is getting angry at me, like putting her hand up in a stop motion at me, for trying to help and refusing to listen because I'm not SIL, who is a hobby baker. Then Mum was starting to prep lunch and started to ask a question...

Honestly just looking for some kindness and support. My little one is nearly 16 weeks old now and evenings are still horrendous. I find myself in tears most days because she will just cry for hours. She doesn’t settle for the night until 11pm or after usually and it is exhausting. I find myself getting so frustr...

Hey guys! My son peed in the potty basically all on his own this week and is showing signs or readiness to start training. I’m only finding pull ups in size 2t. Is that the smallest they come in? He’s somewhere between a 5 & 6 in Huggies diapers right now. He fits some 2t pajamas so it should be fine right?

Need somewhere to vent/see how others deal with it I have told my partner that I feel so lonely because I feel like I do everything for our daughter (4month). All he does is her last feed of the day and put her to bed (including weekends) He says he can't help because he's at work (which I understand and have no...

I am the carer for my elderly parents. I also have two young children of my own. My husband has health anxiety, and he thinks everything is wrong with him.

Can anyone recommend the crayons/pencils their toddler are using? Probably a daft question 🙈😂

I have two childhood friends I've been close to for years. They were bridesmaids at my wedding and I was at theirs. We talk most weeks. Both of them can't drive though, they have licenses but both anxious drivers and prefer not to. Long story short I moved away about 10 years ago so we don't see eachother much. I ...

Any one else's two year old just turned into the devil recently??? My son's not always been an angel but he has never been this bad and I don't know what's going on! He started going to a childminder a few months ago and I keep telling myself maybe he's learning this behaviour but then he wasn't like this when he fi...

Baby’s dad was amazing when my baby girl was born for a whole 2 weeks. Then he stopped coming round I didn’t question it because I don’t want to bother him. He’s recently confided in me that he’s feeling severely depressed, and honestly, I’m unsure if I should believe him, he’s sending me snaps of him laughing with ...
