Apologies in advance this is a long winded post… I’m currently 6 weeks pp and really starting to question my relationship with my partner. Currently we are renting and we are halving the bills equally, £500 each, however after paying rent and my own bills it’s leaving me with £90 a month for “myself” which by all ...

Hi My baby is 10 months and still isn’t particularly interested in actual food, he still much prefers to have a bottle. Is this normal or is there something more I should be doing?

I’ve noticed about a week ago when I gave my toddler some buttered bread that he was only eating the butter and leaving the bread. He then kept asking me to me top up the butter and just kept eating it off the bread. It’s now turned into a full blown obsession. If he sees the block of butter out he asks for it lik...

My BD and I bought a house together back in August. We did it for leverage and so my son could grow up in a decent neighborhood. However we knowingly went into it about our complex issues. I just learned last night that he is ONLY doing it for our son and isn't really interested in the family dynamic. Lately, I'v...

My child is 2 end of next month and I've suddenly felt this pressure to start potty training. Don't even know where to start especially for night times 😵‍💫

We're doing a mixture of purees and BLW and have been doing purees since 4 months. Curious as to how much food your little ones are actually having each meal as I am not sure if my boy is eating loads or nothing compared to others 🤣 Our routine is: Wake - 7oz Bottle Breakfast - Porridge (huge bowl!) 10am - Snack…

does anyone find that there partners are hands on? hate feeling like this but i am really struggling with my partner i feel like i have to ask him to look after our son sometimes, give him he due he does and helps with night shifts etc, but sometimes he moans when doing it and watches how long he had him for and moa...

I just need to vent. I don't want to sound ungrateful as I'm not, I appreciate anything anyone buys for my little one. But my MIL is on another planet. Today is my little ones birthday, and my MIL sent her a present, which was a mixture of Easter and birthday bits. That's fine, not a problem, but the box was jus...

Hi, sorry if I sound a bit silly. When people say they’ve started potty training, does that mean no nappies or just offering the potty so they get used to using it?

I went to drop my daughter off at nursery this morning and I was running a little later then usual. As I got to the door I heard it she’s not here by half 8 she ain’t getting breakfast. Which is the rule but Is this not rude to say about a 1 year old 🥲?

We dont let my daughter use our tablet often but right now when she uses it she plays khan academy kids and duolingo kids, in need of more educational apps please!!!

I feel like I can’t relax until things are in order and tidied, then like to get out the house for my well being even for a walk or to the shops etc. But feel guilty that my little girl is with me the whole time but I’m not fully present or I’m in a rush to do the next thing. I’m aware I’m doing it, but can’t switc...

I keep getting told by my ex that my relationship with my 16 year old son is not normal and it’s making me so angry and I feel sick from his comments. Sorry need to ask people’s advice so my 16 year old son has autism and I do stuff for him I drive him around cos he doesn’t like getting on public transport. He messa...

Are they worth going to if you have a toddler (a 2.5 year old toddler)…. or am I stretching it by going - is it more just aimed at babies?

If so how does it work? What do you get etc

My son has tea at nursery at 3.45 and then a snack when he gets home at 6pm. He then has 8oz formula before bed but I want to cut his formula out now but worried he’s going to be hungry. Are we cooking our babies proper meals after nursery due to their nursery tea being so early??

My lo is not eating as much as he used to. His appetite has significantly decreased. I understand his taste has changed but I try to offer different things to see what he likes. But it is very inconsistent. I am mostly worried because he is not at a good percentile on weight.

I just got one 2 days ago so we could get some work done. Curious if others are in same boat.

Hey, can anyone help me. What’s an appropriate punishment for a 3 year old that’s been so naughty? I know she’s young and won’t 100% understand some things but something needs to change after today. She has a party on Saturday - I don’t think keeping her from that would help but am I wrong? What can I do? H...

Just a momma to one who’s 2. Throwing around the idea of daycare because our current babysitter (family member) we’ve had to butt heads more than a few times because of said person stepping over boundaries and then when talked to about it being told we are overreacting. But yall I am TERRIFIED of the thought of dayc...
