Has anyone ever experienced this? I’m a step mom of a 4 year old boy and a mom of a 12 month old boy. My parents adore both kids and spoil both them. My in laws though treat them differently. Maybe I’m over thinking it idk but it hurts my mama heart, especially when most my family lives far away and his family lives...

Hi, how would approach the situation? We’ve recently had new neighbours and they do a lot of irritating things but I admit it’s just petty things that annoy me and my husband but not worth noting past that if that makes sense. However it just CONSTANTLY and I mean always stinks of weed. Sick of sitting in the garde...

SAHM running my own business working from home with a very active soon to be 2 year old. My husband works a full time job and runs his own side business on the side that is very busy. So he works almost every hour he's not sleeping. What are things you do for yourself to pull yourself out of the slump? I feel like ...

Hi all, Is anyone else struggling to keep their composure with their toddler? My toddler is really triggering me with their behaviour. Throwing, hitting, demanding and screaming, putting their hands and things in places they should not be. Doesn’t listen. Just normal toddler behaviour. I find it really really g...

So my partner told me a few weeks ago that he didn't think we could afford to go to the Easter Show (big event where we live). I was bummed but understood. My friend told me last week that she was given 2 free tickets. Her, my bestie, my sister and I discussed possibly going and sharing the cost since one of us wou...

How much does everyone spend on their shopping?! I’m easily doing £100 a WEEK and it’s killing me😩

After having two children, I’ve struggled to show love and affection and intimacy with my partner and we keep having arguments about it as it’s not how it used to be I’ve told him plenty of times it’s not just a button I switch on and off, the intimacy has gone since having two kids and I’ve really struggled with sh...

I I am constantly getting backlash from the boundary that my partner and I made for our daughter to not be kissed. She just turned two months old and people are still making comments about it. My aunts tell me when I tell them that I told my mother-in-law I do not want my daughter to be kissed they say but it’s her ...

I’m expecting my second baby soon, based on my first PP experience I’m trying to prepare myself the best way I can. One of the things on my list is to save for someone to come in and deep clean at least once a week. I’ve got a 3 bedroom house, fairly small kitchen and bathroom, getting quotes hasn’t been easy. Does ...

We are expecting. It is still early. For my previous pregnancy we told close friends together. We currently have construction going on at our house so I went to stay at my parents. My mom asked how much work was done so I opened the security camera to show her. On the camera I heard husband speaking to a friend and ...

So I told my dad I don’t want him and my grandma to come to the hospital after I give birth. I told him I want to wait till I get home so my spouse can pick him and my grandma up and come to the house so I’m in a more comfortable environment and I can collect myself better when I’m ready to have company basically… ...

I need someone to tell me honestly that having two kids isn’t as bad as I’m making it out to be. I had severe PPD with my first. She will be 2.5 when the other is born but will be in the beginning of harsh winter months when I get bad seasonal depression. I don’t do well with nights I’m dreading the newborn nights. ...

Hello, to all the moms with older kids. My son is a little over 4 months and he doesn’t let me work, or clean or get anything done. Does it maybe get easier after a year? Thanks!

FTM 36 weeks going into 37; SAHMs do yall ever feel like you want to get out of the house but then when you get out you want to go back home?

Long story short and can give more context if needed . Been together almost 7 years. Had ups and downs. Recently me and my son moved back with my parents for a bit due to some circumstances (he caused at last place) haven't seen him in two weeks. He came to see me yesterday during work took me to lunch ( only had ...

We had a new babysitter over. While baby was asleep, she rearranged the kitchen and all of the baby things and toys. It looks neater now, but it completely destroyed my system. Like, I had some toys in a box that we weren't using (we rotate toys to keep things interesting) and that needed cleaning. I even explained ...

Honestly I’m sitting in the bath crying my eyes out as I write this.. the last two days my dog has come down with diarrhoea and vomiting. I’ve been up since 3am (it’s now 9pm) as he was literally spraying my walls for me all while I’ve got a 6 month old. I am so stressed out as to why his all of sudden started thi...
