So I haven’t gotten my period back yet since giving birth in Oct 2023. I test weekly just to make sure I’m not pregnant. Doc says it’s because of breastfeeding. So I really want another baby. I want my daughter to have a sibling to grow up with. Husband has a daughter from a previous marriage but she is grown and l...

My little boy is 19 months old, the last month he's been really clingy which I actually love however, lately I've been getting really overwhelmed and struggling to be a calm mum. I've never shouted at him but when he's constantly whining when I'm trying to get things done or won't go sleep I find myself getting grum...

So he just started yesterday. I also made sure I rewarded him whenever he went pee pee. I gave him stickers, snacks juice and encouragement! Now I’m trying to figure out how to get him to 💩 I had him on the pot all day and he didn’t go but when I finished giving him a bath, he decided to go 💩 in the tub. Is there…

Tired of a toxic relationships where you get married. If your husband is not supportive. Definitely these mother-in-law’s father-in-law’s brother-in-law, sister-in-law’s extended families.

What do you call it when you know you should be mad at your SO after finding out he disrespected you behind your back, he mistreats you, he doesn’t take you on dates, he isn’t romantic, he treats everybody else better than you! He doesn’t want to spend quality time with you, all he wants to do is play the game! And ...

This turned into a long and rambling panicked vent. Thanks in advance for reading. Context: We’ve just had our second baby - he’s 12 days old. Our eldest is 2 and a half. My partner is a self employed electrician and has been running his business for about 18 months. I don’t think he knows what he’s doing and/or i...

Okay so obviously there’s so much shit to say so I’m gonna make it short. I have 2 under 2. In laws don’t seem to give a fuck They don’t message to see how kids are doing or if they can see them nothing. My MIL has held my youngest baby 2 times and she’s. 4 months old. Anyways long story short we didn’t get invited ...

I have a 9 weeks old baby boy and my husband is saying I spoil him too much by holding him and that's not normal.

Any Mamas potty training yet and have been seeing success? I want to start potty training my little man but feel I'm gonna have to just let him run around nakey and pray he ends up sitting on his toilet for most pees and poops. Any advice is appreciated 💕

My son is 12 months old, and his height is at the 2nd percentile. We’re really worried—has anyone else gone through similar issues? He doesn’t eat very much, around 25 oz of formula per day. The doctor recommended we add PediaSure and cow’s milk + keep feeding him solids.

So I don't know if I'm looking for advice or wanting to vent but I'm really struggling and I have nobody to talk to my feelings about other than my mother who understands but can't do much other than help out after work which is in the evenings. I recently caught COVID from my in laws and my son has been sick too....
