Parenting

It’s a beautiful necklace, don’t get me wrong, but it’s a gift from the daughter to the mother. I asked him if this was a gift from our daughter and he said no. And I told him this was a Mother’s Day present that’s why I asked. (I apologized later because I realized how insensitive and rude that sounded in the mom...

Hey mummies, have you ever felt like you hate and love your partner? Since I’ve got pregnant everything my partner does pisses me off, even the little things that used to be normal. I have kicked him out many times and after two days it’s like the anger goes away. I’m trying to be mature but sometimes I’m already sp...

38 weeks pregnant - my partner and I had a discussion last week about him not drinking over the driving limit so he can drive to the hospital if I go into labour. Due to complications, I will need a section under general anaesthetic, so partner will go straight to baby after birth whilst I come round. Tonight, he ha...

Need to rant! Had a message on my lunch that my partner left work at 10am as he has a sore throat so he’s been home all day. I asked him to pick our son up from my mums early so I didn’t have to pick him up after 6pm and he agreed. I got home at 630pm to him and baby asleep on the sofa. I asked how’s our son been s...

I have had the cold since 3 days now. My husband asked to have sex yesterday and I refused and said we can tomorrow and that i am not well. I thought I’d be feeling somewhat better today. However, I feel much worse today and he came and started having sex with me even though I was not interested and telling him I am...

We claim UC with only my partner working. I have been a SAHM for my nearly 2 year old and have just had another little boy 3 weeks ago. When my first turns 2 in a couple of weeks I wanted to enrol him for a couple of mornings in nursery to get him more social and make friends. I went to apply for a funding code ...

He is working today so we cant really do too much today which is fine! He has not posted me, no...

So, my partner often plays online gambling games and he doesn’t necessarily waste any of his money, he tends to lose any winnings and is back at 0. Today, he put £20 on there and he won £400, then £800, then £1000 until he was at £1400. I told him to quit whilst he’s ahead and he said he feels another big wing comin...

Hi! My newborn is 2 weeks old and I just keep making mistakes. Not harmful ones, just I keep making silly mistakes and it’s really getting to me. However I accidentally dropped his nappy cream out of my pocket onto his head today and I’m a mess! (He’s fine, it didn’t leave a mark) But It all makes me feel like a ter...

Anyone currently living with in-laws. How is it going how do you make it through the week. I currently live with mine and it is a challenge. I am not the type who have a problem with criticism but when it comes to parenting I immediately get offended I’m good at holding in emotions but at some point Ik I’m going to ...

So with it being Valentine’s Day and all, my husband and I agreed that we weren’t going to celebrate this year because we just can’t afford to quite frankly. We have so many bills we are literally pinching pennies to be able to afford groceries. We agreed no flowers, no gifts, no cards. Just chilling at home togethe...

Does anyone feel like they suddenly have no idea what they’re doing? She used to sleep through the night then a few weeks ago she had a few nights of not sleeping, and since then wakes up 2/3 time a night, past few nights have been so hard she does NOT want to sleep on her own. Feel like I don’t know how to enterta...

This is going to be the first Saturday... what would you do with your toddler for the day? (While heavily pregnant)

Clearly only for the ladies that celebrate Valentine’s Day with their significant other. We have fallen on some tough times and although my fiance wanted to go out for valentines I recommended we can cook dinner together at my house. Although I love going out I thought it would be smarter to save our money and this ...

I was there on Tuesday and they were talking about co-sleeping. I said I did it with all my babies and a lot of them said the same. I also said I still slept ...

Does anyone have househelp to help keep on top of the million chores we have to do? How often do they come? What jobs do they do? I'm a SAHM and I have a wild toddler who has just turned 2. I'm really struggling to manage household tasks. I don't own a dishwasher (our kitchen is quite big but there's nowhere to put...
