Parenting

My birth didn’t go to plan and ended in an emergency c section, my partner found the ordeal very traumatic and confided in me that he felt some resentment and was struggling to bond with our baby. He’s since gone back to work and we sleep in separate rooms so i do everything for the baby, he maybe holds him for 10...

How much longer can I expect my son to be this demanding, SELFISH, impatient, antagonistic, refractory, exacerbating, unbearable Ahole?! Any time I try correcting the behavior, I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall! Am I doing something wrong, or is this a phase he will eventually grow out of 🤞🤞 please please…

I’ve got 2 kids 3.5yrs and 7 months old, I love my bd but also resent him aswell, as he’s selfish and just does as he wants and leaves me with the kids all the time. I’ve never had a night off, as I always do bedtime yet he goes out all the time. I’ve spoken to him about it a few times in the last month and even to...

I’m having a really hard time telling husband’s family that they are being too overbearing . They are trying to choose nursery furniture, prams, clothes etc. I feel like I’m suffocating from it all. They want to be involved in every decision. They are telling me that when the baby is born they plan to spend everyday...

I am a single working mom and my son goes to daycare full-time. I am super frustrated because every time I check in on him via the cameras that they have in the classrooms, they are either gathered around the screen of an iPad, teacher’s phone, etc. watching something. My son is three and I know that the American Ac...

The constant trashing of the house, not sharing, pushing, shoving, meltdowns when trying to leave the house, every single mealtime is a battle and a failure… is this normal?

My baby is about 3 and half months old and I think I’m experiencing some burnout. I’m a stay at home mom and my baby is very clingy/fussy. I can only get her to play and hold her attention by reading to her or something for about 30 minutes total a day. The rest of the time she just wants to be held and I have to wa...

I really struggle to go out on my own with him as it’s just not enjoyable at all. I went to Sainsbury’s today with my sister who is heavily pregnant and my gran, we tried to sit in the cafe and didn’t even manage to order a drink as my toddler was kicking off and wouldn’t sit still. I usually just avoid all togeth...

I’m going into work for 3-4 hours tomorrow and leaving my little girl with my husbands mum but I’m terrified she won’t be okay without me. I’ve left her before but when her grandad has also been home (she’s obsessed with him) but he’s going to be at work too so I’m worried my MIL won’t manage :(

My partner is so controlling, I can't stand it. We were supposed to go on a walk with our 3yo twins when he got home from work. Everyone is ready but him. He wants me to change because what I have on "looks trashy" (screen shot in the comments of the exact outfit/color). We were going for a quick walk around the blo...

I’m due in july and am now a stay at home mom/girlfriend. my bf is the sole provider and i appreciate everything he does for me and us and our soon to be baby. He just bought us a house and everything is strictly in his name bc that’s how it worked best with our credit. our dog is in his name. his car is in his name...

Just need to vent a little. We recently moved to a new state where we don’t know anyone—no friends, no family—just us. My husband works six days a week, long hours, and I’m home with the kids all the time. I asked if he could come home early twice a week so I could have a little time for myself, and he agreed, but s...

Me and my husband haven't been on great terms lately and it's sad and painful to say that it might be the end of us. It’s been heavy on my mind but would it be weird if we stay in the same house while we co parent our little one while divorced?

My fiancé and I were arguing about his behavior. Because he cheated and i was trying to understand why? Because i feel like im lacking something they had. Eventually he said, “I honestly like it better when you were nice and quiet. When all you did was cook and clean.” I said so basically like a maid? He said yep. M...

Sometimes I feel annoyed or agitated with my son and it makes me feel like he's a burden. I know this sounds bad, but he's going through terrible twos and as a stay at home mom I feel burnt out. I can't do much, not even leave his play area to get water without him having a meltdown over a toy. Has anyone felt this ...

Is this a thing postpartum because I am really struggling. I have zero patience with my eldest and his tantrums are very very very extreme at the minute. I am borderline breakdown and have to leave the house a lot to take deep breaths etc. I feel myself at breaking point with him, and I know he is a toddler and t...
