I’m feeling so much worry and guilt. My baby almost 8 months, was in his walker and our litter box is in the basement. Our cat was scratching at the door to go down so I opened it a crack knowing he was in his walker still and just thinking I’d shut it in a minute. He was in the other room and I went to start a load...

This might be a bit deep for a Tuesday evening🙃 However I have a newly turned one year old. He’s great and he sleeps and eats great I can’t fault him. Me on the other hand, since he’s turned one I just feel like mentally I’ve hit a brick wall. I’m constantly exhausted. I’m snappy and every little thing my partner…

I had to tell the kids school to stop telling their dad stuff because he doesn’t care and forgets everything. I guess he was told they would be doing a home visit today. I’ve been in and out of the hospital with one kid, had a doctors appointment for another and this woman shows up to my trashed house. I am so embar...

So basically my BD is really into podcast and doom scrolling mad finding thing of the internet that he wholeheartedly agrees with. For example he believes that my kids should be fed vegetables etc. So from this he's basically said they should only be able to have 2 toys and the rest need to go in the bin. To that I ...

My ex uses a crutch outside and was carrying bags, she isn’t the most safest person meaning she is accident prone and has many “incidents” to say the least. She asked for our son so I handed him over, then she was holding him all awkward and he started struggling trying to get back to me, so I took him back and she ...

This shit is rough 😭😭 half the time my 3 yr old is sweet, then the other half is demon meets baby… whining and throwing fits, not listening or straight up saying “no” to everything, being a monster when he doesn’t get his way 😭😭 I’m being bullied 😭😭 he already started going to the other parent when one says no…

They moved me out here with them, call my old place that I had on my own a shoebox (small) convinced me and my bf that their home would be better for our child, (we were just fine) hoping I’d maybe get more help!

I’m piecing together my escape plan to leave my partner. I’m currently a SAHM so I need to source of income, I mapped out just how much I need to make per month just to get by & its $1980. At that rate, I need to work full time & make no less than $20/hr. I also have no vehicle at this time so I’ll be staying in my ...

I would like to get feedback on whether it’s worth purchasing one. If you love yours, please share the model you have.

How would you guys feel about this: My in laws look after my baby 2 days of the week when I’m in the office, which I’m very grateful for. However, I feel that sometimes they focus on the wrong things with her and it leads to her not really being taken care of properly. An example is that today they took her out f...

I’m feeling really guilty for just wanting to chill in bed most of the day because I’m so exhausted from lack of sleep. When my baby is awake I talk to him and interact as much as possible but I haven’t taken him out by myself as I’m feeling really anxious about that. We go out on weekends with my husband but I just...

My partner is back at work so I've said I'll do the nights so he doesn't have to get up and be tired for work but I feel so alone in those hours. I'm also finding that I'm getting anxious about feeding (BF) as ...

Husband always makes excuses when it comes to being around the baby. Example: he just said he needs to go charge his phone. Still hasn't come back from upstairs yet and it's been 30 mins.

I want to be at work full time but then I feel guilty because my partner says it will be bad for the little one not to see us much all week. But I love my work and not having the financial stability my job gives me is stressing me out… I feel like I always have to ask my partner for money and I hate it. Anyone els...

Our son is 10 months and he is in his rambunctious stage. He’s full of energy, bopping around, crawling fast, wanting to touch and grab everything. I am an exhausted mom. I am a SAHM and so I am his primary parent. I am up with him for all overnight wakes and feeds. I’m exhausted during the day. A few days ago my hu...
