Parenting

Is it bad that I put on ms rachel most mornings for my 4 and a half month old so I can brush my teeth, take the dog out & feed my cat and dog? She watches for probably about 15 mins a day. Everyday I have anxiety that I'm messing her up by letting her watch. Thoughts?

My sister in law has just broken up with her husband, after 15 years together. She has moved in to her mother's house. Her ex (before husband)has moved into her mother's house was originally to house sit, and I don't trust him.

Hi all, my 2 year old has started nursery this week and we are all struggling with the settling in (mum, dad and toddler) We have been using quite a nurtured parenting approach so far where feelings are welcomed and respected and healthy attachement is key (we are all quite sensitive humans) So this is a big lea...

That’s news to me that they all have the same feelings about that. I wish they would’ve told me sooner instead of me hearing about it through others now that they’re mad. My ...

So my husband has been with soo many women in the past, body count is over 100 😑 anyway I’ve only been with him and I didn’t know about his history as he lied in the beginning due to fear of being judged. So sometimes he forgets if he’s been to somewhere with me or someone else, like yesterday we went golf, he was…

Hi, I’m 4 weeks postpartum on Monday and I just got into an argument with my husband because he’s super messy.

Correct me if I’m wrong but what I know is that ALL 3yr olds are eligible for 15hrs free regardless of family situations.

With my husband and in laws he doesn't get as upset but with me he refuses to be out of my hands. Has anyone else experienced this? I work from home and need to fin...
