My fiancé lost a job two yrs ago in March. Yea so that’s 2yrs 7months (crazy to say, first time I’ve counted😪) Anyway, he got unemployment for a while like 6mos maybe? Can’t remember.. but everything we have in this world (myself, my children & he by extension) is bc of my doing my due diligence. He recently…

My husband has been gone for 10 days for work. I've been alone with my 2 and 4 year old. We don't have any sitters or family so it's just been me. I scheduled a mani pedi the day after my husband gets back and my mom said this is selfish and I should give him a day to rest after getting back from traveling.

So let’s say you as the wife make 4x the amount your husband makes.. Would you be ok with…..

My husband and I haven’t slept in the same room for almost two years now. We have two kids. A three year old and a one year old. He has been sleeping with my two year old and refuses to sleep train him. I have no say in this. I am so lonely, I lack the intimacy I desire. we just moved into a new house, I literally h...

The disrespect is getting worse and I need to do something about it. This is long but I need advice We both work full time, but I’m expected to do everything with the kids and housework by myself. I’m never allowed to question it because he says ‘we are not the same’. All week I get myself ready for work, get ki...

Just want opinions as a ftm. I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable. Brief background... My partner & I have been together 15 years. He has a 20 yo daughter to previous relationship & we welcomed our little girl in May. Over the years both my parents have been seriously ill & I lost my dad 5 years ago & I'm now ...

I’m having a bit of a crisis. We moved in with my in laws about 6mo ago with the plan to stay 6mo to a year. Our goal was to save money to buy a house close to them in the same town. They live in a smaller town. Not a lot to do, fairly conservative, religious. For context our pediatrician has God/Jesus signs all ove...

I know I probably sound like an awful mother but how do you cope. I’m a single mum and I’m really struggling to cope with my little boys behaviour. He is one and no matter how much I childproof my rooms he seems to always get upto no good. I can barely even go to the toilet withought him ruining things. He’s 1 and a...

My boyfriend thinks I’m being ridiculous, what’s your personal opinion… the doctor said to limit outings and the amount of people who touch and hold the baby. She is only two weeks old today and I’m basically staying inside or at least not going out unless absolutely necessary like the grocery store or doctors. I do...

Lately I’ve been feeling like I don’t engage with my baby as much as I see other moms do. I mean I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always with him but for example lately he’s been going to bed around 4:30 which is super early I know. That’s another issue lol but for the last month I’ve been noticing that I could absolut...

So long story short, my mil is manipulative and controlling. She wants to control our lives and has done everything since our daughter was born almost 4 years ago. To say a few things, she would call hospital behind my back questioning my daughter’s care - not her place!!!! She would turn up at our window uninvited ...

I’m a SAHM my partner works. He covers bills, I get food stamps and cover all food. If I sell anything of mine or my sons I get necessities shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, diaper cream etc. I don’t grab anything until it’s absolutely necessary like I cut open my toothpaste and use it all before grabbing more with ...

My husband and I have an 18 month old together, in May I confirmed that he had been cheating on me a few months previous to that and I was absolutely broken and devastated because I really never saw it coming. He promised it would never happen again and we cried together and he really made me feel like that was true...

When you have a bad husband is a toxic person, he can manipulate any situation if he has a narcissist personality I have such type of a husband, who used my daughter against me only because of this disgusting person, my daughter slapped me in front of the driver and the reason was. I asked the driver. Why did you ...

He's in the bigger room now where child to adult ratios are bigger but my keyworker seems to hide herself away at the back of the nursery when it's time for drop off or collection. My friend's little girl also has the same person and has reported the same thing. We should still expect communication on a day to day b...

I'm going through a bit of a patch. My 22 month old has started preferring his dad. It wouldn't be so bad but I've never really felt like he ever preferred me. I couldn't breast feed and he's always been happy with us both but all of a sudden it's daddy daddy daddy. I'm at work all day and the bedtime is the only ti...

So back story i have had a child with a very bad man and thats putting it politely. Violence in the past and did a Claire’s law check and its worrying. Now i know this word gets thrown around alot but he has every characteristic of a really bad Narc. Ill keep this as short as possible. He hasn’t been in my child’s ...

I’ve been back to work for 7 months now and I really don’t like the child care arrangements. So my son goes to my in laws house whilst me and my husband go into the office. My husband will come home, go for a long poop, shower, do other unnecessary tasks then leaves to pick my son up. Today he left to go get him at...

Is it just me or husbands just become an asshoke after having kids. All I hear and also going through how much of an asshole my husband has become and the lack of support and responsibility he wants to take on. Yet has his life. When did getting pregent making a baby only take an egg and not the sperm too. Ah...

My husband is driving me insane with how lazily he parents. As soon as he comes in from work, I start dinner, put on laundry, tidy up - whatever I haven't had a chance to get done that day in the house. This doesn't include showering or doing anything for myself. I leave the baby with him and most of the time he...
