Does anyone else for consistency still send their child to nursery in the holidays? I feel like I fill myself with separation anxiety and guilt every single time and never know if I make the right decision to still send her (teacher mummy)

My other half I feel is nearly always shouting at my little girl and always angry with her. “Don’t do this, stop doing that, stop throwing things, if you don’t eat your tea you’re not getting anything else” etc… I’ve noticed over the last 6 months how angry she gets too. And my friends have noticed it too and I’m so...

So, my partner and I have been wanting to book a little holiday away for ourselves and the kids before my eldest starts school. I sold my phone to be able to just have the extra funds to be able to do this, my partner then just booked something without a single discussion with me? I’m not ungrateful and a c*** (t...

My husband seems to think our lo doesn’t like him, she absolutely adores him which is plain to see and I think they have a great bond. She does tend to ask for me and at the moment isn’t very well so just wants her mummy, but I can see he’s finding it hard and for the first time tonight he’s vocalised it. I’ve tried...

I feel like I'm drowning. I love my kids so much but I can't handle the yelling and crying and whining. When it's just one of them I'm usually fine and can help and get it figured out. But when it's both of them I just get so flustered and overwhelmed and can't think. And then on top of that trying to clean. I just ...
