I’m at a bit of a loss. My first child js 5 weeks old. My husband was doting on him, however, me and him had an argument on Mothers Day and since then he’s refusing to talk to me and doesn’t even look at our son. He’s saying he wants nothing to do with us. It’s been 3 nights and he’s not done anything or touched ou...

I got my wisdom tooth removed today and my dentist (not my regular dentist) said he was going to give me a paper with instructions like the dos and donts after an extraction but never did. I’m just looking for advise here :)

Hi mamas! I will be traveling with my 9 week old on a 6 hour drive to see my parents. Do you have any suggestions on must have things to pack (I don’t what to forget anything)? How often should I remove her from her car seat for a break? Any tips are helpful. Thank you!

Hey mama's. My partner believes in allowing a baby (no matter the age), to self sooth. If baby is fed, changed and burped, he does not mind if she cries. He will want me to just lay her down to cry. He will stare at her while she cries. Or ignore her. NONE OF THAT WORKS FOR ME. I believe in holding, patting, talking...

Hello everyone, Does anybody else’s baby not let y’all do anything? My baby is not really a Velcro baby because he necessarily not only wants me but he wants to be held and entertained all day. Everywhere I try to put him down. He complains. I really can’t, cook, clean or work. Is anybody else going through this? A...

Not being conscious about the food you’re introducing to your child is seriously setting them and you up for failure. Another hot take: if a neurotypical child will only eat chicken nuggets Mac n cheese etc that is the parents fault 😳 That being said: ofc the occasional fast food and treat is fine. But this…

If i hear baby boy cry i will go check on him idc with who he is... but my bf takes it like i don't think hes able to take care of him.

I’m in a position now where I will have to look for work. I would like to keep my baby near, and she is also still breastfed, hardly weaning. I’ve heard of people doing this and I’m considering it. whether working at a daycare, or nannying for a family while bringing her along. has anyone ever done this? how did it ...

Taking my toddler for first time next week and i tried to explain it like going to the doctors (which he has been totally fine to do) and also used a paw patrol audibook but toddler is throwing a tantrum about it when i bring it up now and doesn’t want to go… feel like i gave tmi and it would have been fine on the d...

My little one has just turned 19 weeks. Shes having a roughy 200ml of milk around 5 times a day, sometimes she’ll have a 6th bottle but not always. This does seem to satisfy her however she watches anyone who eats like a hawk, and then tries to eat her hands as she’s watching and dribbles lots! I couldn’t finish m...

How do you and your significant other split your financial/household responsibilities? I know it’s not good to compare I just feel like I have to come up with something more efficient than what we are currently doing.

I’m 27 weeks, and I feel like I can’t stand my husband, has anyone else felt this way? I feel like I’m so alone in this pregnancy. And when I talk to him about certain things and we agree on but when that situation comes up, every thing we just talk about goes right out the window about what we talked about and it’s...

Hi everyone. I am due to return to work next week on Tuesday and I'm very nervous about this. I will be working part-time three days a week. My mother will be taking care of the baby for those three days alone while my husband and I are at work. We decided on this arrangement as nursery fees are too expensive for u...

Posting anonymously incase anyone I know sees this. But I need brutal honest answers - does anyone ever or think that someone maybe lies about their childcare situation when working from home? As in they say the little one is at nursery or day care while they work from home but infact their baby is with them while t...

In money and gifts were supposed be treated equally right

Hi! Me and my husband we have a 6 months old baby girl, and for a while he is very distant, he is keeping him all the time busy , all the time he has something to do. But he is not spending his time with us like in the beginning… I’ve tried to spoke with him about this problem and he is just telling me that I am ove...

Hiya so this is my first child and he’s in nursery. He’s currently 2 he’s 3 in June. I’m unsure when I should start looking for primary schools and when to apply? Can anyone in the UK help me out. Thank you! X

Anyone else feel like their husband hates them and barely talks to them now they are in the first trimester, I think my constant tiredness and laziness plus the wasting of the food because of my food aversions is annoying my husband and he has just started to ignore me the whole day and complain about things . Reall...

Hi all, just want to see everyone’s opinion on maintenance amounts, had a bit of an issue with BM over the last month over this. My partner pays £200 a month towards SD and on top pays for her dance lessons and additional things that she needs/wants. We have her at our home every weekend and one evening a week for...
