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 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 ...

I just came across screenshots of conversations of my husband of 10 years talking to other woman and at this point I’m tired of it and it ain’t the first time. We share a 5 year and thank God it’s only one. I don’t even want to have a conversation I just want to pack me and my son bags and just leave him a note or b...

Husband only wants to get free or almost free used items (offer up/fb marketplace) even if I want to pay for it with my own money (I only work about 15 hours a week so it’s not much) but he doesn’t want me to spend my money and he doesn’t want to buy new things. Even when I find something on marketplace that’s a lil...

I have two daughters, 21m and 8wks. I love them both so much and I am failing them. My 8wk old won't settle on anyone other than me, she refuses dummys and is EBF. My toddler is full on toddler-ing.

Hey! I’m 36 weeks with my second. I’m getting more and more nervous as we get closer because I am not sure how this will go. The only person we have in the same state is my mom who broke her wrist last week and is in a cast 😩. My first pregnancy, she and my husband were in the delivery room and I had the best…

I thought 1 was hard?? Oh boy I did not expect this! My newborn was asleep when I read my oldest son a bedtime story and I got a feeling like “man I missed this”. Kinda feeling guilty but I know it will surpass once he begins to show his personality and my 3 year old gets used to him being around. He gets so distr...

My husband said it’s to expensive to throw away but I just can’t!

The kids themselves not the schedule. Looking for some perspective because I’m ticked off my SIL keeps complaining about her kids and I’m a bit sick of her.

How exactly do you cope with in laws who feel they can say or do whatever because you gifted them their first grand girl they actually get to see often. I am struggling with trying to be nice and not disregard their feelings but it’s somewhat overbearing to hear their options about everything all the time!

Ladies after all baby’s needs are met do you let your baby cry it out so you can handle some household duties?
