I’ve got 5 kids youngest is 9 months oldest is 10!! I work full time (remote from home) in sales, I have targets. I’m done I can’t do this it’s too much. I am tired of constantly apologising for taking longer breaks and needing time off at last min notice. My kids are currently unwell so it’s been a lot of back and ...

So i am 20 and so is my partner, we are both so scared to tell our parents as they’re older parents and we just know they’re going to react negatively (well we’re pretty sure). How did everyone tell there parents!! Even tho we’re both 20 we still feel terrified as if we’re 16 (which is also completely fine just we f...

He's almost four and it's dreadful. Never takes no for an answer, never listens, no respect at all, hits, kicks, bites, shoves, throws things, horrible at school. Including getting sent home several times. He'll just laugh and say nah nah nah nah boo boo when he does bad stuff. Comes to my house and messes with ever...

Now there is no right or wrong answer to this and I know everyone should just do what they feel is right for them and their situation. I just want to get a general idea of what others have done. My baby is 12 weeks old, exclusively breastfed (he can and has had a bottle feed) and I haven’t left him more than a hour...

Ever since I gave birth to my last baby over 3 months ago, I have been so short tempered with my partner and some of my other family members. Luckily I have at least managed to keep it together and not let them know, maybe not so much for my partner. But I haven’t been like it towards any of the kids and one is a ...

Do you make an effort to look nice everyday for yourself and maybe for your partner when they come home from work even if you just stay at home most days?

Do your men take the baby out for the day or no? My man refuses to take the baby with him to run errands etc which is fine by me because I’m a stay at home mom and he never really has to. But it would be nice on occasion if he would take the baby with him to the store or something so I can chill by myself. It’s not ...

My husband has moods that are very up and down and its hard to understand. Some days, he simply wakes up with a negative energy about him. Rude responses for no apparent reason or he’ll ignore me asking him a question or checking in on his day and he’ll blow up if I repeat myself. If he starts to get irritated so...

My husband always sends me to pickup marketplace items. I’m a tiny woman and he’s a very muscular man. He claims that he doesn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable by going to meet them. he waits in the car and sends me and every single time I’m met by a grown man despite having communicated with a woman. It makes me...

I’ve had such a hard day with baby, she hasn’t let me put her down all day, been counting down the minutes for my husband to come home from work. He doesn’t come back, he goes straight to the gym with his friend, after the gym he gets home, I ask him to hold her so I can use the toilet and he says he’s going out wit...

So I've been with my husband for 11 years. We have 2 kids together (8 and 1). We've been married for 2.5 years. We are not in a great place. This has been on/off since last summer, and I'm truly at my wits end with it all. It's like we argue most days, mainly about his lack of playing his part in the household. He...

Since your baby has been born how many times have you seen your parents or in-laws? My LO was born three weeks ago and my mom has seen her three times and was there for her being born… my mom is guilt tripping me every single day that she should be seeing my LO more, trying to get me to pump when I’m ebf so me and m...

As an introverted, overstimulated mom of 2 boys I have a very small “people window” and my husband thinks I’m just an unhappy, tired, grumpy person when really I just need a week of sleep, an unlimited supply of coffee, and some me time to fully recharge. I had to explain to him that I’m like a busted iPhone batter...

I feel ashamed even asking about your experiences and opinions. My daughter always has been a bad sleeper but I absolutely adored our day time. We communicated very well and she was a happy and calm little person. The intensity of the tantrums now over tiny things (put on coat, sit in high chair to eat, no screen t...
