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...

I spent the whole day with my 3 month old by myself. First husband went to work gym etc spent half the day out. Then came home showered was home for 1.5 hours max and went to go watch the stupid fight with his friends. His ONLY FUCKING job when he got home was to dream feed her so she would sleep thru the night dumb...

My husband took a 11 day trip, went to South America with his best friend. Meanwhile, I’m at home with a 19 month old, doing all the childcare on my own. When he got back from his trip, he didn’t seem appreciative of the work. We were also preparing to move, so I was making appts to fix things in the house, talki...

Has anyone got any tips please? To help my mind 🫣. I’m so anxious about the thought of going back to work, leaving my baby. He’ll be with two sets of grandparents two days, then nursery the other two. I know he’ll be fine. But it’s just the thought of not being with him. I’m really anxious. 😟 xx

My partner has regularly gone out spontaneously on the weekends since the baby has been born (now 10.5 months old) recently I asked if he could pre plan nights out instead so I also get the chance to go out and plan things with friends as I haven’t been out with just my friends since he was born. He had planned a...

Hello mommas! So, I’m in a predicament where I may have to rely on my MIL to watch our son for a couple days during the holidays since his school is closed but she has a brief history of going through our belongings while babysitting which has led to me no longer asking her to watch our son without us being home. Bu...

My fiance grew up being good friends with this guy and he has a fiancee that I became friends with. Me and her got really close and she made me feel like we were pretty good friends. We haven't hung out in a really long time and she started ditching me or taking advantage of me. For example, she wanted me to make so...

So, my MIL told us during her visit last month that she wasn't coming for a Christmas visit. She left gifts for the kids in my closet. Since then, I started working full time and hired a nanny. The nanny is amazing but is super shy. My MIL is notorious in our family for making comments about diet, exercise, weight, ...

So my husband used to be a sense of a safe space for me especially with my anxiety but lately I’m realizing over the past two years he might actually be more triggering to it. It’ll take me forever to go over every detail but long story short I’m not in a good place mentally. I’ve been turned off from him since our...

I’m pregnant with first baby and their first grandchild. We’ve married 7 years and me feeling suffocated has been a source of practically all of mine and hubbbys disagreements/arguments over this time. We went out for dinner and I got told I need to accept help and let people in more (wanting to buy things by mil...

Honestly just looking for some kindness and support. My little one is nearly 16 weeks old now and evenings are still horrendous. I find myself in tears most days because she will just cry for hours. She doesn’t settle for the night until 11pm or after usually and it is exhausting. I find myself getting so frustr...

My husband comes home from work angry everyday. My son’s cries make me angry. I don’t have the time or energy to clean and cook and study like I used to. I feel like I’m slowly slipping away from everything and I’m so depressed. All I want is a break, but I don’t have anyone I trust to watch my son and sitters scare...

Need somewhere to vent/see how others deal with it I have told my partner that I feel so lonely because I feel like I do everything for our daughter (4month). All he does is her last feed of the day and put her to bed (including weekends) He says he can't help because he's at work (which I understand and have no...
