So me and my bd got back together and lately we’ve become distant. We had an argument the other night he said a lot of hurtful shit like I don’t know how to be a woman and how I’m dry asf down there and the sex and head is wack and how any female would be lucky to have someone like him and he never apologized for it...

From the minute she wakes, to the moment she goes to sleep she constantly wants to play. Im a SAHM so I’m home all day cooking, cleaning, doing sahm things, I play with her 45 mins a day and it doesn’t seem like enough. After play I tell her I have to get back to doing house work, or cook. She gets really upset, and...

He said to me: “To anyone else you’d be used goods but to me, you’re precious”. I was horrified. He claims this was meant as a compliment but to me he just basically said that I’m worthless and used up but I’ll do for him.

Yesterday, I was exhausted from the day before (the kids & I went to the pool & we all went the aquarium the same day and that night I only got a few hours of sleep bc the baby kept getting up) so I really didn’t want to do anything other than my daughter’s doctors appointment that morning. We (me & the kids) get up...

My family is in the most awful situation. My roommate is a total bitch. She’s always trying to tell me how to live my life or raise my kid. She’s made comments on what I choose to wear bit today was my FINAL FUCKING STRAW. This girl had the nerve to tell me “(her husband) is home! Why are you wearing booty shorts?...

Before I met my husband he used to play cricket every Saturday from April till September. Since being with me he has taken 2 years off while I was pregnant and had my son. But has now told me he wants to start playing again every week, however it’s our only day we get together and the sport lasts the entire day. Am...

I broke up with my babies father a week ago. We had a very tumultuous relationship and there have been ups and downs in the past but this past year has been by far the worst. He is emotionally abusive. I had enough last week, he screamed at me for turning the light on to feed my baby breakfast in the morning and mad...

I’m always with my toddler. 24/7 no break since he was born. I feel I’ve been losing myself more and more everyday. My anger gets the best of me. I really try to control myself and not let my toddler control my emotions. But there are days where I just lose it. I can’t seem to calm down when he does something he isn...

Just out of curiosity does anyone ask their husband for permission before going to stay away at families or friends for a couple nights? Like how do you normally let them know??

This morning my one week old son was crying for hours on end since like 5 in the morning (he has a bad tummy ache and all he wants is to be held but i don’t cosleep) so I stayed up for 4 hours putting his pacifier is his mouth and rocking him trying to get him to calm down. Finally at like 9 in the morning I yelled ...

My partner works a hard blue collar overnight job, he does about 5 hrs overtime every night. I work 7am-3pm, we have a 2 year old that’s in daycare while i’m working and my partner sleeps until 3-4pm and the time he’s awake he spends in bed on his phone dreading his shift. I’m completely exhausted, i do everything, ...

My partner goes to play poker almost every Friday night. Apart from this he comes home after work. I’d like to have a Friday night with him. If you asked your SO to stay home from poker, would you be considered selfish since it’s only 1 night a week or is it a valid ask to miss one Friday?

Hello everyone. So I’m not sure if this is common or if it’s just me. Marley I can not stand my partner. I’m not sexually attracted to him anymore , I don’t care for his family, and honestly I zone out when he talking to me. Only thing I remotely care about is when we talk about our baby. I feel like he thinks he’s ...

If your child locked another kid in a closet at school to bully them would it be fine to briefly lock your child in a closet at home to show them how it feels?

Hubby informs you he has wiped down the counter and emptied the dishwasher. He’s proud of course

Hi ladies, I’ve been given the date of my c section and I’ve told my husband we should keep it between us, which he agrees with but one of the things I’ve struggled with is I told a friend that for the first 5 or so days I would like to not have people over and I want to implement that boundary with both mine and my...

My boy is going two days a week to nursery every Thursday and Friday this is his 2nd week he's loosing his appetite now I realise is due to change its making me feel guilty I know I need me time but the hard core guilt is hurting. How did you get through it? Sadly I dont have a wide range of support in the family du...

My son is at nursery full time and I’m really struggling with it. I feel guilty, and he’s also been pushing others which I can’t help but feel is as a result of spending too much time there and not with me. We have baby #2 due in Sept so he will go down to 3/4 days then, but then feel guilty that he will have to s...

A few months ago we went through this phase of my daughter being glued to me, not allowing me to put her down even if I’m in the same room right beside her and screaming hysterically if I do put her down. She won’t go to anyone but me including her father and it’s fucking draining I thought we were over it but it’s ...
