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...

My husband keeps telling me take it easy as my nesting mode is on full mode now. We have a toddler too so yes I’m exhausted but I feel like there’s so much to do, I’m almost 38 weeks and he’s working so a lot of it is left with me even though he says he will do things they don’t get done so I know I have to do them ...

Kind of just a rant but my god my house is a tip. We had a busy morning but now I have all afternoon to do nothing but tidy and clean (we have guests coming for the whole day tomorrow) and I can hardly get one thing done before I need to tend to the baby again! She will go on her play mat for maybe 10 minutes, in th...

So I'm 31 weeks pregnant today, and have been told by my midwife he will likely be here around the 37 week mark, meaning I've only got about 6 weeks left... I still feel like I have so much left to do, and cannot seem to get myself organised. I've still got loads of washing to do, pack my hospital bag, get a few mor...

Hi everyone. I’m sorry this is so childish and shocked I am writing this. Is anyone else experiencing school mums clique drama yet? Unfortunately i’ve now become the target for it at the moment. I’m not one to be bitchy/catty AT ALL and dont get involved in those antics. Unfortunately one of the mum’s i thought we w...

Before I had my baby, my sister and her partner always used to visit us and stay until around midnight. When my baby was born, they did this and it really unsettled baby. Now she has messaged to ask if we’re free Friday evening at around 7pm, which is quite late. I am trying to get baby into a good routine (he is ...

Hi guys, I’ve been struggling with motherhood recently. I feel overwhelmed by the clinginess and constant demands, trying to make sure the house is clean, doing chores trying to limit screen time, making sure she eats well and goes to activities. Recently I haven’t been able to wash the dishes or get through a phone...

So I’m expecting my second baby in Jan and will have a 2year and 2month old boy aswell. The issue is I’m likely to have a c section so will be staying in hospital a few days. My husband even though is great, he hasn’t been a hands on dad and I’ve done every bath and nappy change for my son. My husband wouldn’t know...

The kids and I travelled abroad last Thursday as I have something important to attend to. We are not due to be back until next month. Since then my partner either takes hours to reply me, doesnt pick calls or even responds initiate text messages. I tell him about my day when we get to talk and he doesn’t even tell m...

Hey mummies I hope you’re all having a good day 🥰 please help a girl out! I am in desperate need of a new vacuum as our last one packed in and I foolishly sent my fiancé to buy a new one so he came home with a car vacuum that is slowly destroying my back 🥲. What vacuums are we all using to keep up with our crazy…

so… i’m not hating on my baby’s father because he does take care of our daughter and i am very grateful for that by all means. but there’s been one thing that bothers the absolute HELL out of me and it’s that he doesn’t acknowledge my daughter or his other 2 sons. he doesn’t post them, doesn’t proudly talk about the...

So my 7 month old boy is on the bigger percentile and always has been since birth We currently have him in size 4 nappies, but recently I think we need to move up to size 5 I got talking to another mum with a little one the same age, and they shamed me on having a bigger baby and that he shouldn't be in size 5 nap...

I've had a message this morning "Please can you let me know when I can see you?" ....which might seem harmless, but it really gets my back up because I know her tone, and it's like this entitled/offended demand rather than saying something like "I'd love to see you, is there a good time this weekend?" Or god forbid ...

I have a stepdaughter, a 15 year old but we finally had a baby January this year after taking 3 years to conceive we have been together 9 years. We missed out going to the pumpkin patch because the weekend we planned to go his daughter desperately needed him to get her new leggings so they went into town. I was up...

Me and my partner split everything down the middle. Rent, bills, food - everything. His job is shift work and one week is never the same in regards to his shift patterns and days off, so I can't rely on him for childcare help. Because of this I'm having to reduce my hours to both work to pay my half of things, plus...

How much does everyone spend a week on shopping & for how many family members?
