What do you do when you have a 2 year old and 8 month old and it’s crying all day, sometimes simultaneously. My husband is gone for 2 weeks at a time and I’m losing my mind. 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...

My 21 month old is learning to help out and clean up. While I'm alone with her during the day I'll take a break and instruct on how to clean up and she does it. She cleans up toys or throws away trash while I relax.

I am absolutely losing my mind.

Another time my husband make chicken and they thought I helped him cut the fried they were complaining about how I cut t...

I keep getting fight or flight level overwhelm and I hate it! My baby was a dream of a newborn but now he’s nearly 5 months he’s tough sometimes! I think the sleep regression is hitting his daytime sleep as he realllllly struggles to nod off and stay asleep! He gets overtired and whingey and the noise makes me want...

I've left my little one for the first time with his dad for more than half an hour....to take my mum to the shops because she's been asking me to take her for ages. And I'm bloody feeling guilty the entire time! Like my partner is annoyed at me. If I don't go I feel guilty for not looking after my mum....ugh!

So I’ve come home from work and felt a bit off on the train, my tummy is in knots right now and I feel so sick, I’m also currently 23 weeks pregnant. I’ve had to come to bed because the pain is unbearable. It’s gastro so not baby related, but my partner is having to look after our 14 month old. He was saying he was...

I mean I'm being serious, I thought I was just imagining it or blaming him when really there's no correlation but... no, today he's been away at the office and she has been good as gold every second of the day, even when hungry, tired etc., she was communicating with me and it's been a dream spending the day with he...

Me and my husband have been living with MIL for almost a year due to financial reasons. I am 15 days post partum and she’s arranged an after birth party for me. This is traditional to our culture but it is usually done 40 days after the birth to give the woman time to heal and adjust to her new life. When MIL told m...

So my bd and I were broken up for a few months, and during that time we had no communication. Once we got back together I went through his phone and saw where his mother accused me of doing witchcraft and putting a spell on him, and even going as far as to include my mother in it. Since then, I do not feel comfortab...

To clarify I don’t mean to offend anyone by anything I say or if I don’t use right terms please educate me if I am not using the right terms Anyways I see tik tok Videos of moms who feel judged and not seen when they go out. They can’t go to restaurants from fear they will be judged or fear of meltdowns. I feel th...

Before I start let's be clear he didn't call me ungrateful it's just how I feel for being annoyed. My husband loves his child but has always said that he doesn't like baby's only when they're 'cute tolddlers' then when they talk back as well. I always thought it was other people's kids turns out it feels like ours ....

My 2 year old son is shredding walls...My husband and I are at our wits end and ready scream. I've asked for advice in another group, and as many suggested a sensory bin or shredding paper. We tried that last night, he loved it, received lots of praise for it...I then proceed to wake up to this monstrosity. Which ...

I had this baby on the 8th and I've already got a 20 month old. He's entered his hitting, screaming and toddler rebellious stage in the last few weeks. This isn't directed at baby at all, I'm just feeling super triggered by this behaviour freshly postpartum. I really want to send him to nursery now and make use of t...
