I'd like to hear from others when they knew their relationship was not worth it anymore? Mine was when I went to my bf (ex now) house and I called asking him to make sure the door was open for me to come in with our baby (it's winter). And I'm greeted with a face full of anger and huffing. So I ask why are you huff...

I’m wondering if anyone has the same issue as me. I feel like my mother in law keeps overstepping the boundaries. My husband calls her 4/5 times per week with my 11 month old daughter. I find it too much and very controlling. He was adopted by her and I really am trying to be empathetic but most of the time it feels...

This morning I told my bf that I’ll be looking at cars after I get off work and I asked if he could watch our son while I go do that. And he said yes. Well I haven’t heard from him all day. I thought he was asleep (he works nights and usually sleeps during the day). I come home and he was mad at me for being out for...

Two weeks ago my husband went out for beers with coworkers because it was his last day. He said a couple hours when he left at 2 and wasn’t home until almost 9 leaving me to spontaneously do dinner and bedtime for all three kids alone. I tried to let it slide because he never does that. Tonight he said he was goin...

I just need to rant. I am 5 weeks pp with my first baby and I am so sick of my bf not helping. He helped at first but now he is back to his usual video games all day. I EBF so that is on me which I have no problem with but he only changes maybe one diaper a week and doesn’t help in any other way. He lets our dog out...

My stepdad has seen my baby a total of 3x. He got offended cus I said I want to hold off on him using the grandfather title when I was pregnant since he kept mentioning it so much .so he distanced himself for months. Now he’s came around and I feel like he’s gone to the other extreme again. The first time when he sa...

My husband and I of 7 years recently divorced because he had a baby with another woman! He wants nothing to do with our 2 children or the baby I’m currently pregnant with! He said he doesn’t want to know when the baby is born or gender, nothing! He moved out last month, so he don’t live close anymore… I’m so stuck w...

i feel like a terrible mom right now. i turned around to grab my 17 month old his food and next thing is he fell and hit himself on the table and he cut his eye and i’m not sure what to do

Been with my husband since I was 15 (17 years) Every job he gets we fight over him cheating. He always acts weird, hides messages and is currently doing this now at his current job. He takes an absolute fit by calling me names and being aggressive if I say anything or call him out. What should I do? This happens at ...

What time would you expect your partner to be home if he was going out for a works dinner that started at 6:48pm ? And would you expect him to text you to keep you updated as well as when he may be home ? So my other half had Table booked for 6:48pm and he’s still not home the meal is about 10-15 mins down road...

Money wasn't an issue until we had children. We planned the first child, one horny night led to baby #2. We both worked, paid bills, repeat. There was no extra for vacation or events but we had necessities. After the first, I've completed depleted my savings, ira, and even called my bank to pick up my car that we ...

Myself and my partner both work full time with an 19 month old l, despite raising constant concerns he thinks it’s acceptable to go to the pub until 7pm every night (weekend times vary) im not entirely sure what time he gets in there between 3.30 and 4? it’s caused so many arguments! As I am left doing everything! A...

I’ve got my June baby and also my second baby who is nearly 12 weeks old. I’m finding it really hard when my husband is at work in terms of feeling overwhelmed, especially when he’s on nights like tonight. They’ve both been screaming at the same time and I feel like my heads gonna explode. My toddler is really testi...

Hi mummas We have moved to Uk 3 n half yrs back. My LG is 3 yrs old and going to nursery since she is 1 n half yrs old. One of her friend is always calling her - you are black and you are different. My LG doesn’t look like calling her black tbh but she’s Asian (can accept she looks little brown but she’s a bit fair...

My 3 year old knows we’re due to have another baby, and he’s having a baby brother. It’s not something we talk about 24/7, when he mentions it we’ll engage in conversation but it’s not spoken about constantly as I’ve never wanted him to feel any other way just because I’m pregnant. Tonight he has said “why have yo...

Being the default parent is exhausting and freaking sucks🙁 Everything is always just put on me and I’m expected to do and take care of everything. I need a break but we have no money and when we do have money I feel like there’s more important stuff for it to be spent on🙃

I don’t know if I’m just crazy or how can this conversation go like this.. we are watching TV, eating dinner having a nice time. On the dating show we are watching a guy asked “what is love or how is it to be in love?”. And my partner of 4,5 years, that I have a child with says “what is love? I don’t think I know wh...

Anyone else just not able to put their little one down at the mo? Literally he just wants me to carry him round the house. Doesn’t want anyone but me. I can’t even sit down or he starts crying even if I’m still holding him. I’m pretty sure he’s not ill, just clingy. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Me and partner are going out tomorrow and LG is being looked after by my mum and dad. We are at a family party tonight as we have been away at my mum and dad’s house. As I’m BF I don’t want to leave LG two nights in a row. I said it makes sense we stay there tonight instead of going back and forth with her. Partner ...

How do you guys get your workouts in regularly. My son is 13 months old and I tried waking up early and going to the gym before his dad goes to work and I liked doing that but this past week & 1/2 he’s been getting up early so I can’t leave ( and he’s sick too )😭 His dad comes home around 5pm and I just absolutely…
