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… ...

He went shopping , cleaned the kitchen, and now he gets cuddled on the couch to fall asleep. So I can go wash dishes and chill in peace. anybody else husband this clingy.

I feel like every time I bitch to my boyfriend about my mom he always takes her side I feel so fucking mad and sad I have no one in my corner, he’s supposed to be on my side I hate how he always agrees with my mom then go fucking be with her then I’m just frustrated they both annoy me

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...

I'm having a real hard time connecting with my partner, we have an almost 2 year old and been together 8 years. He had bad post partner depression which led to some really shitty treatment from him up until recently, we stopped having sex, he was verbally abusive and completely neglected me. Now he is coming out the...

Me and my friend are pregnant at the same time. She's 11 or so weeks behind me (she's just found out so is about 5 weeks pregnant). I have two boys and have just found out that we're having a girl. She keeps making comments of "oh I'm so happy for you because now you'll get to experience being the mum's side of th...

My boy is 8 months (9 months on 24th) and he is such a grumpy baby. We have a daughter who has just turned 4 and she was such a happy baby and able to entertain herself etc. Our son can’t yet crawl so I’m not sure if a lot of it is frustration but I feel like 80% of the day he just makes whingy noises and grunts rea...

Being a stay at home mom is so hard in me. I feel like I’m losing myself every single day, don’t get me wrong I love spending time with my son and loving on him but there some times when it does get so overwhelming that I feel like I’m about to break down in tears and run out of the house and leave… I don’t understa...

Hi ladies I will sound like a teenager but I want to pour it out and get some advice / just talk . Sorry it's not too positive. I am in my 30s and a mom of 2 year old. Recently all the social media stuff is overwhelming to me . Although I know we should not compare .. my mind automatically goes into that mode and I...

So my husbands brother is coming up to visit our new born. His mum let it slip that he has bedbugs and even though from research they aren’t contagious they can be passed from clothes and furniture. I’ve told my husband he can come into the garden and see her but he can’t hold her. He says I’m over reacting and th...

I think I want to leave my daughter’s father. We aren’t legally married but we’ve been together for three years now and we have a 18 month old together along with his two other children that are 5 and 6. He just doesn’t listen to me. I could go on and on but then you’d just get bored. I can’t express a negative emo...
