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...

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…

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.

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.

Has anyone not gotten enough attention from their husband that they started wanting it from other people.. not cheating but wouldn’t mind being called pretty by others..

I’m curious as a first time mum, how much I should expect my partner to be there for me when the baby is here. We currently don’t live together, I’m in my 2nd trimester, but plan to at some point closer to baby’s arrival… He tells me he will be here for me etc. he doesn’t express how or take initiative to learn how....

I am 12 weeks PP and to be honest I am only just starting to feel a bit more myself again. I’m still very achy and struggling to do a lot after my c section.

My partner has 2 kids from a previous relationship (8 & 10) who my MIL and FIL absolutely adore and are clearly the favourite grandkids. We had our first daughter 2 years ago and while MIL & FIL do come around to see her, it's always when the other 2 SK's are here and they interact more with the other 2. I mostly ju...

I'm so jealous of my husband. I'm with our 4 month old daughter 24/7 and will play with her all the time, but the rare times my husband has her he makes her belly laugh all the time. Even if I do the same things she still will only belly laugh with him. I got her laughing for a couple minutes but that's it. She's al...

Feel like I just need a bit of a vent! I always wanted to be a mum and feel so grateful to have a beautiful five month old daughter I knew before having a child that it would be a challenge but I literally had no idea it would be this hard. I don’t understand how people have multiple children and keep their house ni...
