How much do your partners help out with little one? My partner hasn’t fed the baby, changed him, woke up in the night once since I left the hospital (my baby is 4 months now) and his excuse is always ‘you do it better’ or ‘I have work in the morning’. I’m so tired and didn’t expect to be doing this alone! Any advice...

Every time I go to the library 99% of the kids don’t want to socialize with my daughter & then the adult always acts weird when I try to introduce my daughter to their child and encourage my daughter to say hi & socialize.

Some days it’s even none! & it is only on the TV, no personal screens. It is usually Ms Rachel or super simple songs, nothing crazy. Lately my toddler has been saying “w...

I said to my son before bedtime ‘Mummy is really sick tonight so please be gentle with me and let’s have a nice calm bedtime’ (sometimes he’s wild at bedtime) well he was a nightmare! And then he came and out of nowhere just kic...
