Your 3yr old hits you with a toy. Would it be a justified reaction to take that toy and throw it?

My baby has always been able to play alone while I clean the house & he’s always been able to put himself to sleep at nap time. He recently was teething and they’ve come through now so as of the last week and a half he’s been all good in that aspect but ever since he teethed, I cannot leave the room or let him fall...

Please no judgement as I feel guilty for even writing this and for feeling this way! I have 2 LB one 7 and one nearly 3 - 3 year old has chronic Eczema and allergies which are not under control by any means! We are under allergy and dermatology consultants but it’s like pulling teeth with them at the moment! He scre...

A new mum to two girls, 2 yr old and a 4 day bubba. My partner is back to work next week as we can’t afford him not to be sadly. I have my mum around but any advice on staying sane and coping with the days with two on your own?? Feeling anxious about it all currently!!!

So my stepson (7) loves to play on his switch and ipad. My daughter (1) loves to watch. I recently noticed that he has started to turn the screen away from her so she can't see or brush her hands from near him. She doesn't try to touch the screen or anything, they are just near him. Now I'm all for enjoying your own...

Today my 2 year old daughter was super rambunctious. She had been dismissing foods she normally eats and starts yelling out of no where. My husband just started back to work after being off for a few weeks after having our new baby. So we are all still adjusting to having a new baby in the house. Well tonight at di...

Every time we have a plan he changes last minute. I’m starting to think it’s abusive how he changes his mind every time last minute. For example he’s changes his mind twice now on our holidays despite the fact that i had booked and paid for the hotels he switches up last minute. It’s not just holidays though it’s a ...

Hi, I want to share this situation because I need some outside validation. I’m a SAHM, and my husband works Monday through Friday, he’s off on Saturdays, and works again on Sundays. We’ve had some really tough moments because I’ve been taking care of our baby alone, day and night, since she was born. I have no famil...

Hi, My daughter is nearly 2 and is such a sociable child. Shes an only child with hardly any children around her and her speech is getting fairly good. I feel like she would really benefit from going to nursery even if it's once a week (if that's a thing?) maybe towards the end of the year when her speech is more ...

Knocked once (barely my oldest came and told me and at the 2 nd knock I was walking down the hall and he’s unlocking my door)and bc no one answered just walked in. I have a few maintenance orde...

I feel like we have a boring marriage he comes home plays video games and I clean the house or take care of the kids non stop I take the time when my kids are in school and he’s at work to myself to have a little time for me since I don’t get enough time for myself what can me and my husband do that doesn’t cost mon...

I genuinely can’t stop crying. I thought he was going to step up and do the right thing for once but he doesn’t. He always pretends he never wanted our son but I swear to god last year we tried and tried for him. We moved into a four bedroom home and got married to HAVE kids. Now we have our baby he blames me for ev...

So my baby boy is 7 weeks old and his dad and I are trying to co parent. I find it really difficult as during our relationship (which ended about 9 months ago and was pretty brief) he was emotionally abusive / manipulative and what made me leave was when he got physical out of anger. I can’t trust him and I am so an...

My toddler is 16 months old and I’m a stay at home mum feeling very overwhelmed currently. She is a lovely child but recently everything is hard, she used to eat really well but now will only eat fruit and frozen food, she fights sleep badly and transitioning to one nap has been hard but needed as she wouldn’t do he...

I’m convinced I’m married to a covert narcissist. The marriage has been very rocky since I got pregnant. I feel all he cares about is just himself, he never asks me how I feel & dismisses me when I share the pain I’m going through. I’m 32 weeks pregnant & it’s been rough these past two weeks. He never has time to go...

Has anyone has the same exeprience as me? I lose my patience now everytime my baby cries. Hes already 15 months and still cries every freaking nap time and sleeping time at night. Even in the middle of the night upto 4-5x a night he cries everytime he stirs. Im so tired of his cries and I just cant help but be mad a...

Hello. I know there aren't many members here, and it doesn't look like there's recent activity... but hoping someone is out there. I had two children when I was young. After an "intermission" I had two more. Then I eventually gained a daughter-in-law who then birthed my first grandchild. She and my son lived 1/2 wa...

I feel like I really don’t like my partner at the moment. He is always tense and I feel like I walk on egg shells and have to like keep our daughter quiet and controlled to stop him from getting frustrated. He never used to be this way and I do think his temper is coming as a side effect from his antidepressants. He...
