I’ve been married for one year in a relationship one year and my bad fight with my husband and ask him if he wanted a divorce and he told me it was up to me. He hasn’t been home except once in a few weeks I don’t know what to do at this point. Any good advice I love him and all, but it’s breaking me down tearing me ...

So my MIL have always had our issues however now that I have my own son I refuse to hold my tongue anymore. My partner was joking around with me on thanksgiving around his family saying that he can’t wait until our son is a bit older so he can go for rides on his stepdads Harley to which I had laughed about saying y...

I am so pissed right now. I think (know) my neighbor stole my Amazon package. I was in my living room waiting and tracking my package while feeding my baby. Ok, so while waiting I heard my neighbor’s daughter knock on her door to pick up her child (we live in an apartment). About 2 minutes after that my package sai...

🙄🙄 I'm not sure how to navigate. I remember my parents having sex and I ran away embarrassed. There was never any conversation about it. My daughter seems upset as if we need to tell her what was happening so it's tricky talking/not talking about it. My husband thinks we don't need to say anything. However she…

My baby is 7 weeks old today and since 2 weeks he has struggled with suspected colic. We have had probably 2 days where he has been chilled out, the rest he screams during feeding, when not feeding and during nappy changes. I’m fed up with people telling us this is a phase and don’t understand how we are meant to ge...

I've been back at work in quite a demanding job 6 months now and it was going surprisingly well until the cold and flu season started. We've been plagued by illness back to back since October, and I've muddled through despite being ill myself and heavily sleep deprived. I approached my boss and told him I was strugg...

Im going back to work in 8 days... my twins will be 12 weeks old. It breaks my heart that they are going to full time daycare. Most of their days will be spent with strangers. We can't afford for me not to work. I just dont know what to do.. its breaking my heart.

He’s been rude to me lately and then pretends like everything is fine when he’s done being a jerk. Yesterday I left to spend the night at my mom’s house with our baby and before we left I told him bye and he said bye “inserts our baby name” instead of saying bye to both of us. Now that I’m back home… I still don’t w...

Would ya’ll be mad at your husband for leaving you alone with your 2.5yr old and 3mo old to go to a party 2 hours away overnight? I do have a my best friend/roommate living with us so she is available to help but obviously they’re not let kids so it’s not her responsibility. Story time: Our 2 yr old daughter cam...

My partner seems to have a problem with me going to the gym and is making it really difficult for me. Trying to keep this short, he works in the fitness industry, he’s a bodybuilder, trains 5-6x per week, spends £200+ per month on his own leisure club membership that he spends hours training in and going to the sp...

Howdy everybody, idk a good & safe place to ask about this so I'm doing it here. My sister has 4 kids, between 3 different dads. She's never been a very good mom really, she's very volatile. Her kids model her behavior, aggressive and crass. That's just trashy, but my concern is what they're exposed to. These kids a...

I feel like my partner absolutely has a problem with me going to the gym and doesn’t want me to go. We used to go to the gym ALL the time! It was our bonding thing and the only thing we used to do together before having kids. We’d go everyday. He works as a fitness massage therapist and is fitness obsessed, he’s a...

I’ve only just realised that there are no drawers in there whatsoever 😂🥴 never seen a kitchen with no drawers lol. Has anyone else had this? If so what did you do with…

So my mom and I had an argument over a coat. We were going out to eat and It’s 31 degrees outside where we live and my toddler was crying over having to put his coat on vs his sweater, so my mom was trying to give him a choice. “Do you want to wear your sweater or your coat?”. Immediately, I’m like um no he doesn’t ...

I have a 2 week old baby boy. I love him so much and he’s the most gorgeous thing. I’m not coping at all though and I feel like a terrible mother. I’m unable to get anything done as he’s constantly feeding and crying so the house is a mess too. I’m moving at the same time so it’s a nightmare. My husband is a massive...
