My boyfriend and I have two babies together. My oldest is 23 months old and my youngest is 11 months. So having the babies close in age is a bit difficult as you can imagine. I am able to handle the difficulties that it comes with as I have patience and love my babies too much. I work from home, also take care of my...

I feel like I am crashing. Husband is not emotionally supporting me and just laughs. I expressed to him that I've been feeling not myself for a few weeks now. I went out with my kids today and my son kept screaming so I had to leave and once I got home, I started crying. All he did was ask me "Why are you crying?" M...

Hi just wondering if anyone has gone through the same. My little girl over the past few months has become scared of and dislikes more and more things. First it was strangers and loud noises which I can understand, but now it’s even things like an extractor fan on the ceiling at a soft play she goes mental over it po...

I have a 3 year old and I am usually a calm patient person. Recently, I have been raising my voice and losing all patience over the slightest things. I find myself arguing with a 3 year old which is just ridiculous. She refuses to eat meals as we sit at the table and she wants to sit on the couch. Defiant says no t...

I’ve been in my relationship for almost 5yrs and now I’m just done. He doesn’t consider my feelings in anything he does. If I’m upset about something he did, he never apologizes, lies, etc. just a whole slew of excuses like “that’s just the way I am, etc.” I literally asked the man for a hug one time & he told me “t...

Today we were running errands and as we got to our last destination we sat in a parking garage to eat for a bit before entering the shop. It was still early in the day and parking was free for 3hrs- but we would only be there for a few minutes so no rush. As the parking garage was mostly empty I had an idea.. I wou...

Haven’t seen my partner in 2 weeks which is so unusual as we use to see each other a lot more then that, he makes plans with me and then lets me down/not show up. he just chooses his friends/other plans over me. I’m 36 weeks pregnant so I would have thought he would want to see me a lot more as it’s the last few we...

My in laws have never bothered to make an effort to have any interaction with me, they won’t even say hello to me when they walk into my house and I can’t stand it! but they are infatuated with my son (their first and only grandchild) sometimes I feel like why should they get a relationship with my son if they can’t...

i have a 7 year old boy and a 2 year old girl. usually he is the sweetest towards her and worries for her like she’s the most important thing in the world to him. however, he has adhd and he is constantly getting attention every day over his attitude towards me/not listening being defiant. he’s never shown any signs...

I feel like I need to tell him how to, or when to do, EVERYTHING when it comes to baby. And then he does it at a snails fucking pace. I'm sitting here trying not to lose my shit right now and need to vent it out and get it off my chest. I'm really trying to be patient with him and not snap at him but sometimes I'm a...

We broke up because I had postnatal depression and I was quiet horrible to him during that time. So we broke up and now it’s been 2 months of him being so cold not wanting to even talk to me about anything other than what time he picks our daughter up on the weekend. I’m struggling with letting him go and wanting...

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out because I’m feeling really stuck and frustrated. I have a 1-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son. My son is currently behind developmentally—he’s not using utensils, still mostly eating puréed foods, still using a bottle, and isn’t meeting some other milestones. He’s in early interven...

My son is turning 4 on Tuesday. My husband and I decided to not do a birthday party for him this year because of the headache it all comes with plus it’s not like he’s in daycare or school making friends. 🤷🏽‍♀️ We are taking him out to celebrate HIS day on Tuesday! Well we told my MIL and I could tell she wasn’t…

My partner went round to his mates house last night just to chill, he said he wouldn't be late. I thought it was strange that he didn't tell me he arrived there safely and I didn't hear from him for hours. I decided to call him just to check he was okay as I'd messaged him a couple of times to just make sure he w...

Have you ever tried to be candid with your partner about your ppd and just how you feel like you can't do it and it's just always met with that's bad but we will talk about it another day. It's been like this for the last 4 months while I'm out on leave. Like he's amazing and helps all he can but I legit just can't ...

I found out my partner cheated on me and we “broke up” when our child was only a few months old. We’ve since gotten back together and whilst I have so much resentment towards him I just feel so relieved we’re back together as a family. As much as I love being a mother it was probably more overwhelming than I anticip...

So I have a friend whose little one is 8 years old, my LB is only 8 months so obviously there’s a big age gap. I feel so awful saying this but her LO is quite badly behaved… he shouts at his mum, runs off when walking, throws my pillows off the bed when they comes to my house, runs off in stores, demands things suc...

Yesterday I took my 2yo son to a toddler class, we've been going to this class for years now. But Yesterday he just didn't want to join in at all Kept sitting at the side, jumping on the seats and wanting to cuddle in with me. I tried encouraging him to join in but when he did he would just drop to the floor and g...
