Hi! My newborn is 2 weeks old and I just keep making mistakes. Not harmful ones, just I keep making silly mistakes and it’s really getting to me. However I accidentally dropped his nappy cream out of my pocket onto his head today and I’m a mess! (He’s fine, it didn’t leave a mark) But It all makes me feel like a ter...

Lately I am thinking my husband is gaslighting me. I just can see so many red flags that he always make me think I am the crazy one. We have been together for 12 years and maybe till the 7th year he has been always giving me some flowers or a little gift for our anniversary or san valentines, also for my birthdays ...

So with it being Valentine’s Day and all, my husband and I agreed that we weren’t going to celebrate this year because we just can’t afford to quite frankly. We have so many bills we are literally pinching pennies to be able to afford groceries. We agreed no flowers, no gifts, no cards. Just chilling at home togethe...

She’s sick when he’s around. While I’m her primary carer but when’s he’s around she forgets me completely 🤣

Anyone currently living with in-laws. How is it going how do you make it through the week. I currently live with mine and it is a challenge. I am not the type who have a problem with criticism but when it comes to parenting I immediately get offended I’m good at holding in emotions but at some point Ik I’m going to ...

I feel like i don't do enough with my 2 year old boy. How can I get rid of this fear?

Hey mamas so I’m apart of a play group called space, some of use will know it an I go with my 7 month old and have been there since he was about 3 months old. I was there on Tuesday and they were talking about co-sleeping. I said I did it with all my babies and a lot of them said the same. I also said I still slept ...

I’m feeling really upset with my motherhood journey right now. It used to be manageable, but as my son gets older, things have become much harder. He refuses to eat he only likes milk and yoghurt he is underweight, throws tantrums by flinging his whole body back against walls and surfaces, bites, punches, slaps, an...

I’m angry at my partner and I’m starting to resent him more. He’s not really much of a help. I communicated to him but all he says is that he pays the bills and the rent acting as if he shouldn’t be able to help me with our OWN son. Then would ask if I would want to trade places and if I wanted to pay rent and bills...

This is going to be the first Saturday... what would you do with your toddler for the day? (While heavily pregnant)

38 weeks pregnant - my partner and I had a discussion last week about him not drinking over the driving limit so he can drive to the hospital if I go into labour. Due to complications, I will need a section under general anaesthetic, so partner will go straight to baby after birth whilst I come round. Tonight, he ha...

Hey mummies, have you ever felt like you hate and love your partner? Since I’ve got pregnant everything my partner does pisses me off, even the little things that used to be normal. I have kicked him out many times and after two days it’s like the anger goes away. I’m trying to be mature but sometimes I’m already sp...

Does anyone have househelp to help keep on top of the million chores we have to do? How often do they come? What jobs do they do? I'm a SAHM and I have a wild toddler who has just turned 2. I'm really struggling to manage household tasks. I don't own a dishwasher (our kitchen is quite big but there's nowhere to put...

Am i being dramatic? My fiance and i have been together for 5 years and ive always made it very clear i LOVE when he posts me doesnt have to be constant but idk something about a man loving his wife loudly makes me happy. He is working today so we cant really do too much today which is fine! He has not posted me, no...

It’s a beautiful necklace, don’t get me wrong, but it’s a gift from the daughter to the mother. I asked him if this was a gift from our daughter and he said no. And I told him this was a Mother’s Day present that’s why I asked. (I apologized later because I realized how insensitive and rude that sounded in the mom...

Does anyone feel like they suddenly have no idea what they’re doing? She used to sleep through the night then a few weeks ago she had a few nights of not sleeping, and since then wakes up 2/3 time a night, past few nights have been so hard she does NOT want to sleep on her own. Feel like I don’t know how to enterta...

We claim UC with only my partner working. I have been a SAHM for my nearly 2 year old and have just had another little boy 3 weeks ago. When my first turns 2 in a couple of weeks I wanted to enrol him for a couple of mornings in nursery to get him more social and make friends. I went to apply for a funding code ...

Need to rant! Had a message on my lunch that my partner left work at 10am as he has a sore throat so he’s been home all day. I asked him to pick our son up from my mums early so I didn’t have to pick him up after 6pm and he agreed. I got home at 630pm to him and baby asleep on the sofa. I asked how’s our son been s...

We went out , gave the baby to my MIL. And then my husband starts an argument over text with his mom , I ignored it and then she was like "I'm coming are you ready to leave" meaning we had better be ready to leave because we do things on HER time. And so my husband was like "you're ready to go right" I just said yea...

Ok so my SO walks in the house from work and tells me happy Valentine’s Day and then proceeds to tell me about work and how he put a whole tank of gas in the car. I noticed that he didn’t have not a flower or anything in his hand. I’m like I’m not trying to sound selfish or rude but where’s a little gift. He says oh...
