I don’t trust myself with my son

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...

Help for mums

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...

Jammie days

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 want to nest!

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...

Can’t be trusted

My live in sister thinks she’s a great aunt and I admit she is a great aunt in some aspects- she’s playful, imaginative, a great teacher but what she isn’t is a good protector. When she gets mad at me, she takes away love and attention for my year old daughter… She intentionally distances herself from her, ignores...

Wanting more children

My husband and I always agreed on only 2 children. I have a toddler (girl) and baby (boy). I know that I am so so lucky and it doesn’t make any sense to have any more children (financially, sharing attention between kids, small house etc…) he is adamant that we are only having 2. But… I feel so sad every time someon...
