the term “terrible twos” bothers me a bit. yes toddlers can be difficult and dealing with tantrums is never fun nor easy, but i don’t think they should be labeled as terrible for doing developmentally normal things. they’re learning and doing their best, i don’t think it’s terrible at all

Anyone up for a vent session. I’m in desperate need to talk to someone that doesn’t know my family.

I have a 4 1/2 month baby and he’s my first. I feel like people are so judgemental without knowing the dynamic of the house of what goes on in the day. I’ve been told I give too much tv time but I only put it on for 15 minutes when I’m trying to eat. He doesn’t play with toys for a long time as he gets bored quickly...

Hi mommas. Most weekends, my hubby sleeps outside after hanging out with his friends. He doesn't come home and most times he doesn't call me and if he does, he will say he is coming home but never came home and I am currently pregnant and also with an infant. I feel unhappy most times because we have just been marri...

I am sick to death with my in laws. Everytime I take my baby to their house which is once a week someone always has something to say. If it's not the grandma saying things like "I know him and why he's crying" how does she know my child better than me? She doesn't! She tries to undermine me . It's almost as if she t...

Are there sahm who genuinely enjoy this bc I don’t know what to do. I try to plan activities, keep them busy, go places and it’s tantrums all...

I don’t know if it’s due to the hormones/pre natal depression, but I find myself getting easily irritated by my husband, who seems somewhat disconnected from the pregnancy lately. Don’t get me wrong he is good around the house etc, and does a lot for me, but sometimes he seems unaware and selfish - we often eat lat...
