I just gave birth almost a week ago. I haven't gotten more than 24 hours of sleep since he's been more. My husband helps somewhat during the day, but I do like 99% of the work and he gets to sleep 6-9 hours at night while I'm up every 30 mins because either I can't sleep or I get up to check on. him. He's been want...

I've been the sole caregiver putting my LO to sleep since he was born. He's breastfed and up until 6 months he wasn't aware who put him to sleep but after 6 months he refused to sleep with anyone but me. I still BF so he's extremely attached. Everytime my husband tried to put him to sleep he rejects him by pushing ...

Does anyone else have issues with their in laws? Specifically father in laws. I feel like it’s not as common to have issues with the father but boy is mine a piece of work! Every time something good happens in our lives my husband’s dad always makes it about him. He doesn’t have boundaries and sure as hell doesn’t r...

I’m feeling a bit guilty about Christmas and want to know if I’m being a bit unfair. I’ve a step daughter aged 6 and a baby girl aged 6 months. They share a room and baby girl will be moving into the room in the new year when she’s about 8 months. The room is a good size and we’ve just redecorated it with input fr...

Ugh I’m frustrated right now. So my fiance started a new job about a month ago as an HVAC apprentice, and today he told me he called this guy lazy and kind of told him off because he half assed something. It made me upset, and kinda mad because he complains that this other guy he works with is a hot head and doesn’t...

My man will absolutely house anything you being into the house— he ate nearly all of our sons chocolate from halloween. So I bought more to replace it for our son, he then ate all of that. I got extremely frustrated, bought another bag and then hid it from him. Yesterday, I buy xmas cookies to bake with my son. Y’al...

So after a particularly hard day (2 year old with a chest infection, 20 weeks pregnant and killer headache) sat here reflecting and feeling like a dead rubbish mum! Usually got quite a fair bit of patience but my 2 year old is going through a stage of hitting and kicking and it's really hard. I'm forever trying the ...

Anyone else's little one struggling with nursery? She cries and cries when i leave her and often while there and calls out for me which breaks my heart. Everytime i collect her i see her sobbing through the doors. She also wont eat or sleep while there 😭 She's only in one full day a week, could this be why? Maybe…

I know I’m going to get some negative feedback from this post calling me “lazy or dirty” which is fine because I know I’m not and would never allow me and my children to live in filth , My s/o is very lazy does not like to clean he is quick to make messes but doesn’t think twice about cleaning up we used to get in v...

My 14 month old is recovering from RSV and my nanny insist on taking her out of the house from 11am-140pm. Idk why it’s bothering me so much but I feel like she should be resting so she can fully recover. I told her it’s fine for her to take her on an hour walk, but not much longer. This isn’t the first time she’s t...

As I grow bigger, more tired, achey and lethargic I just don’t have the energy to keep the house looking the way I usually do. I enjoy doing the chores around the house and maintaining a clean home. But these days it’s just too hard to keep it up. I’m trying to accept that this is just kind of how it’s going to be f...

AITA for being upset that my husband wants to go to a party this Saturday when I'm working and bring our twin 16 month olds with him when everyone is going to be getting drunk and then staying overnight at said party with my babies 3 hours away from me??? I don't feel comfortable with it and I've told him and he say...

I feel so burnt out.. I work from home at a job where I answer phone calls every 3-5 minutes for a total of 9 hours. I’m a stay at home mother and take care of our 2.5 year old, while currently 4 months pregnant and not to mention I am also a student. My husband takes care of the cooking after work as I barely have...

I was at the park with my 3 year old and there were other children playing around. Two children were quite unfriendly and started telling my child that he couldn't get on the slide, or the swings or anything. Basically they were prohibiting him from using anything. Their parents were observing and would babble somet...

Hey yall. my bd and i have been broken up since i was 10 weeks pregnant. He always seemed like he wanted to be apart of baby’s life, but since my son was born he just hasn’t. He’s seen him 1-2 times a week for an hour or two (when he doesn’t lie about “being sick” when really he was just going on vacation with his g...

Please help!!! I’m at my wits end. I think LO is struggling with separation anxiety since staying at grandmas overnight last weekend. Since then he’s just shouting mama constantly and crying after me. He’s no longer going down for naps, wanting to be held. And at night he’s waking much more frequently crying. Is ...

I am all for my baby playing, falling over, whatever... But I just feel like the safety police with her dad. Constantly telling him don't do that! He's a great dad otherwise.
