I’m in the process of getting assessed for Autism and ADHD. I have a 2 year old and have been with my partner for almost 4.5 years. I’m seeking a diagnosis for my own peace of mind and to help gage the risk to my daughter etc… My partner is not being supportive at all. He thinks that the way I act is stupid and laz...

I'm a single mum to a 2 year old. Me and her father split up over a year ago and I have done the majority of bringing her up on my own. It was a toxic relationship which I've had to get counselling for. Her father now has her a Friday night and a Saturday night. I work 45 hours a week, she goes to nursery on a Tuesd...

He doesn't really offer to make me a drink either, despite me always making him his morning up of coffee even when I'm feeding baby/doing morning routine.

My partner just told me he’s fed up with me and is going to cheat on me. He’s not happy with me. He said he’s been trying to change me for the better and I don’t listen to him for the last 2 yrs. Is he right? Yes for the most part. I do, do things my way, when he suggests doing things another way, even tho my way do...

I have 3 kids and I can’t afford childcare or anything really and I need to get a job. I’m always asking people (children’s father and my mum) for money, for food for clothes for buying gifts for children’s birthday. I feel such shame. Can’t afford to get on a bus let alone a car or anything. I live with my children...

Hi! Stay at home mom here looking for advice or even a "you're not alone"! My son is currently 9 years old and just always so angry about everything and anything!

I don't even know the point in this post but I'm just feeling so fed up with the constant colds/ viruses, I don't think we've had a day without a runny nose.

I have a 4 week old newborn and I have a LOT of help and I am still wildly overwhelmed and feel like I’m doing a terrible job. I get really frustrated, I would never hurt him but I have found myself being aggressive at times in my movements/speech that make me feel like a bad person and a bad mom. He is an easy ba...

Hii, I was just wondering how you'd feel about this: I have been in mental health therapy for 1 year now as I have 2 under 2 and was often really stressed and even depressed especially when I was sick and the chores would pile up for weeks and I was feeling horrible, maybe on top of everything sleepless nights and a...

I'm 5 months PP. I am starting to feel moody and resentment towards my husband. I am a first time mom, it's been a journey for my son, he has mild eczema since he was 1 month. I am consistently fighting to find a way to help him be at ease while my husband what seems to me he says, live his normal life before my son...

I take my 10 week old out maybe 3 or 4 days of the week and then the other days we chill at home in our jammies and watch TV. Does anyone else feel guilty that they're not out more? Sometimes we do a couple lazy days in a row! He seems content and chilled though which is good! Just feel guilty staying in 🫣 how much…

I’m desperate to start sorting my baby’s room and putting the few bits and pieces that we have for her in their place and seeing what else we need to buy, but my mother in law has very kindly offered to paint the nursery, but apparently is a bit of a perfectionist because it has now been 5 weeks since she started th...
