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...

Back and forth through all the rollercoaster moments and been with him on and off 9 yrs. He just got back to work, he been snippy at me more, tone of voice always sounds rude like I'm a bother t...

Just wrapped up an evening with the in laws. We are Canadian and my husband is part owner of a family farm that produces maple syrup, as it’s maple season we have to go out every day to collect the syrup and have started the boiling process. We didn’t have anyone to watch my 8 month old daughter today during collect...

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?

So I just want some other opinions on this.. My husband and I found out about a month ago that we are expecting our first child and we are over the moon! We were super excited and decided to tell our close family and friends almost immediately and made them all promise not to say anything until we make our own “pub...

It’s always for no reason. For example the baby has just been asleep on me and we were watching a film, films finished and I asked him to pick baby up as I was in a awkward position and was ready for bed and baby started becoming fidgety. That’s it, he started. Why didn’t you fucking just take him to bed earlier, I’...

Hi Mummies. I have a night away coming up for the first time since my daughter was born. For background, my daughter is 2, I work full time so she goes to nursery 5 days a week because I'm a solo parent (Dad not involved due to awful circumstances). She finds nursery really difficult and often cries in the morni...

I’m going back in June and it’s just hit me, I hate the thought that i won’t be around as much, someone else is basically bringing up my child for like 4 days of the week, im so worried that he won’t want me as much (he’s so needy with me right now) or will just forget me 😭

I’m having a hard time figuring out a schedule and getting out of the house to do things, i.e. lunch out (not dinner yet- would need sitter and bedtime is hard), a coffee, meet friends, walk in the park, etc. (all with my LO) but find it so hard to get out the door or figure out how to time it. Would love any tips!

I'm teaching a community pre-k art class that I didn't terribly want to teach but my sister runs the program. I've been taking my toddler (almost 3) with me and he's a busy kid! But also super social. The other kids in the class just don't want to play with him or talk to him because they're more timid. Yesterday wa...

I know this is going to sound stupid and I can already preempt the responses il receive. But, I miss my abusive ex who’s basically done so much to me from strangling me, punching me, hitting, smashing my flat, laptop and mobile phone. I share a 3 year old daughter with him there’s a RO against him prohibiting him fr...

My partner makes me just feel so unwanted. I cry almost every day, today is no different. Told him how lonely I feel, he pays me no attention only talks to me to tell me to do something if he wants something. Other than that I am ignored. He doesn’t cuddle me, we don’t spend time together. He looks at me as if I mak...

Can children sense narcissism?

Hey there! I have a 4 year old son and had my daughter in mid December. He has always been advanced for his age (emotionally and with basic skills) all of the sudden he is just peeing on himself or in his bed at night. He cries about everything, and constantly says at bedtime he doesn’t want to be alone. I know th...

I’m riddled with guilt today, my 3 year old has had his first day today where absolutely everything I did was wrong, everything was ‘no’, and everything lead to tears. But I’m riddled with guilt because I have not handled it well. I got overwhelmed and eventually ended up telling him off because he wouldn’t brush hi...
