Today me and my 11 mo girl witnessed a 4 yo girl being hit and yelled at in the park by other nannies because she was hitting other kids. Obviously the child can't understand what she's doing and getting hit by grown ups is definitely teaching her to hit rather than regulating her feelings. Her own nanny was not pro...

I am feeling so guilty.. today I was out with my bubba (8 months old ) to visit my some mom’s friend I was so pissed off for many reasons. And some behaviour of one of my friend. And thee was super hot I have problems with hot environment I start to feel nervous. I was breastfeeding my bubba he is having 2 teeth . S...

I am so dang pissed at my husband. When it comes to our baby, he makes me feel like I'm always in the wrong and a bad mom. First it was the way I wash bottles ("oh, you do it THAT way? You don't do XYZ?"), then it was the diapers I got. Lately, with us trying to get her into more solids, I am apparently doing everyt...

had a baby shower today surprise from my friends and I had a really good time til I came home to my boyfriend. He calls them tramps and says he doesn’t want me to go out with the baby or even let them see him and then said I’ll just pass the baby around like a cigarette even though I wouldn’t. He’s just straight up ...

My bf and I have 2 very different parenting styles. Growing up I was taught discipline and respect. He wasn’t taught either one growing up. He told me him and his brother were sent to jail in middle school for stealing and all his mom did was take their PS3 for a week. And yes they were guilty. He also said his mom ...

My mother likes to take my 1 yr old once a week over night, I never ask but she always does and I never see a reason to say no. Recently my other family members have been making me feel like a bad mom since I always have a “night off” once a week. I don’t know how to get out of my head on this. What are your thought...

I don't know how to process this but I am sick to my stomach when I seen teen girls stroking their guy friends sitting so close as if they're supposed to service their male friends in a McDonald's out of all places. I'm triggered because I know I was raised in a way where I thought I had to do that to be liked and i...

My husband moved out today. After a fight he said I should "leave his fucking house" to which I said fine. Bc I can't tolerate such treatment. A few moments later he suggested that he would leave since this is our kids home and it's better for them to stay there. I agreed. We have almost a 3 year old and a little Ma...

Partner recently had a bday. Given recently had babies, my spending power has reduced. Partner & I discussed what he’d like for his bday, & he said shopping trip later in the year. His family contacted me asking what to get him and so I gave them a list of items to get him. Day of his bday, I got a gift from the c...

So I've been full-time full-on SAHM with my son since birth and we've been with each other every day. Now he's nearly 2.5 and he's very sociable, he seems to really want to make new friends. We do socialise as a family but I think he needs to see and be around more other kids (other than cousins). Is nursery a sen...

It took me a looong time to get pregnant and all I ever wanted was to be a mom. I am one now and so happy about it. My baby is and will be an only child. I will happily (95% of the time) cater to his every need aka spoil the crap out of him. He is a toddler now and I can see this as becoming a problem and being a d...

My little girl goes through this random outburst where she is simply put, a nightmare. She runs around the room, go running into the sofa, the starts jumping on it, and then will start flinging herself against the back of the sofa. My partner says she doesnt do it when she’s with him that much, I take her out once...

…ask me when our daughter was last changed. He rarely offers and when he does he says he’d rather I just ask. But he’s annoyed when I do ask!!! It’s a small thing and our communication has gotten loads better since baby was born but I still feel like he just sits around and waits for me to do everything.

Ok I’ll give you the current situation, then some back story. Tuesday I call 811 about a rash, nothing crazy just my anxiety got the best of me& rather than visiting emergency or a doctor, call and get some advice. Well nurse told me rash is a heat rash, but while doing her assessment baby boy breathing had concern...

so since my baby boy entered this world I have been incredibly strong and proud of myself or how I’ve managed to keep myself together. However recently, I’ve really struggled. The issue at hand is my partner just doesn’t help despite MULTIPLE conversations…I’m talking this man has probably changed his nappy 4 times,...

Today is our little guys’s first birthday and I made a very special post for him on Instagram. My post contains various pictures with him and different people. I did not insert a picture of my son with my mother-in-law because I only have one that I took in secret. She does not like pictures being taken so that is w...

What is the solution if your husband dominates you every time. I know my husband loves me but he has to win every discussion by making me feel like a fool. I am always behind him in every situation of life, I make him feel superior since he is older to me. Sometimes I feel I am taken for granted or taken as a stupid.

Has anyone else decided to wait a few months before getting the preschool jabs? I just think this age is too young for them to understand properly and we are currently going through a mega tantrum phase and a strange fear of new places. He doesn't go to nursery, I'm a sahm and we don't go to any groups. We sometime...

I feel like i am failing..my little one has so much energy, is a bundle of joy and just feel like i am holding him back. He would like all the time to get out and run and i don’t have the energy..there is always so many things to do..from changing him to feed him change again , wash dishes, clean the floor..clean th...

I had a horrible nightmare last night of my trauma. It made me not sleep well and I’ve been torn up since being awake. I just wanna lay in the floor with my toddler and color and read books to feel better. The dishes piled up from yesterday’s baking and breakfast,lunch and dinner,the floor needs vacuumed and the bat...
