My 2 year old has been going to the in-laws for Thurs/Fri since I had my second baby. This was to help me out as I was finding it hard to give her the attention she needed while caring for a baby that wouldn’t be put down. Now my second is 5 months I find looking after the two of them no problem. My in-laws still w...

Been a while since had someone commenting on my mothering ! Feeding my 7 month old from a bottle , in a shopping centre (one that’s open but has a roof cover ). She was wearing an all in one coat (and 3 long sleeve layers underneath)and a hat and gloves and covered by a blanket. A lady come up and says I don’t mea...

Myself and my husband booked a spa and stay last night as a little break from everything. MIL said she was happy to take care of our baby overnight, which is the first time we’ve both been away from baby overnight. We arrived at 6pm and rang her at 7.15 to see how she was getting on. After a brief chat she was eager...

My baby boy is never in the house and always out doing a class/play date/swimming. I have had a crippling sore back the last two days and my partner is at work. I’m stuck on the sofa with a water bottle while my 9 month old plays on the floor or sits in his bouncer watching Miss Rachel. There’s nothing I can do but ...

I grew up as an only child and hated it. My mom was nuts and I always wished I had someone with me. I felt extremely lonely. I am afraid my son will feel the same way. Although I’m the complete opposite of my mom. She’s extremely toxic person. My husband has a brother and he said they never played or hung out toge...

Everytime I wake my husband up out of his sleep he goes into a panic looking for his phone

I stay home with my child however when my husband gets home he takes her so I can cook. I make sure she’s fed and changed when I hand her off. Right after he gets her she always starts crying out of the blue. I know her cries and it’s a cry she only does if she’s hurt; After falling. I always go in and his respons...

I’m getting fed up with my husband. Like he constantly wants to be out and not home. He already works crazy hours. I’m literally just home and thought this is what he wanted? We talked about having a family for so long and how hard it’s going to be. He already gets Wednesday at 10pm because he plays basketball ball....

Thinking about ending it, this is our second go around. We spent a year apart and I felt my kids ages 7 and 2 suffered for the first 6months (behavioral problems ect) then they adjusted. We decided after a year to let go of hurt and anger and try to get back together. I really worked on myself, found myself and did ...

So my mother in law hardly sees my kids. And when she comes over to visit she expects us to make her dinner and she always comes sick and my boyfriend doesn’t have the heart to tell her to not come over and she wants to hold my 2 month old. The last time she was at my house she went and told my boyfriend that she wa...

I started to notice he gets random outbursts of anger and gripped me by the wrist and yanked me towards the bed and called me a dumb ass , the night be...

So it’s been over 2 months now and my mom who lives like 20 minutes away still hasn’t come to see my baby. 😑 it’s always some kind of excuse, it’s too cold, I have yard work to do…. She’s never been much of a grandma to my kids but dang, I would think she’d be excited to meet her. I could go to her house but isn’t…

Would anyone talk to their mother in law about your husbands infidelity? I've only recently found out and am in head spins and think I want to speak with someone. I don't know if speaking to my MIL is the right thing to do ??? I don't know if I want to stay or leave We've been together 12 and a half years, marrie...

How come when moms don't feel good or whatever the dad's get to just ignore us and the kiddo, get mad when we say there the reason the kid is jumping on us when they go over to us and start tickling the kid but when they are sick they expect to be able to lay around and do whatever but we still have to do everything...

I want to get out, go the coffee shop, go to the mall, but I don’t know how to time it and I see other moms going on and idk how they are doing it. My baby doesn’t mind car rides as long as the car is moving and the dummy is in her mouth if she needs. So a full stomach diaper changed, and in the car seat is what j t...

So my fiancé stays at home with our 2 year old 3 times a week and works 2 days. I am also pregnant just found out. But I’m feeling annoyed with him he never takes her out, he stays in all the time with her. He never cleans the house, it’s always messy. He always leaves it to me to clean. I feel absolutely drained. ...
