Anyone else just not able to put their little one down at the mo? Literally he just wants me to carry him round the house. Doesn’t want anyone but me. I can’t even sit down or he starts crying even if I’m still holding him. I’m pretty sure he’s not ill, just clingy. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Me and partner are going out tomorrow and LG is being looked after by my mum and dad. We are at a family party tonight as we have been away at my mum and dad’s house. As I’m BF I don’t want to leave LG two nights in a row. I said it makes sense we stay there tonight instead of going back and forth with her. Partner ...

How do you guys get your workouts in regularly. My son is 13 months old and I tried waking up early and going to the gym before his dad goes to work and I liked doing that but this past week & 1/2 he’s been getting up early so I can’t leave ( and he’s sick too )😭 His dad comes home around 5pm and I just absolutely…

My sister came downstairs while I was changing my daughter's diaper. She asked if she could hold her and I told her I was almost done changing her but she was going to need a bottle. Baby started crying because she was hungry and my sister just starred making fun of her. I told my sister she was hungry. When I finis...

Guys. I’m at a loss. I hate waking up every morning and having to be with him all day. All he does is whine, winge & cry all day. Nothing is wrong and he’ll cry. Something is wrong, I’ll fix it, and he cries. I’m currently looking to go back to work just to get away from him. I’m scared that I’ll put him in danger ...

Anyone’s toddler become an absolute nightmare these last couple weeks. My little boy has started smacking, biting and being very destructive all of a sudden. Everything is ‘mine’ or ‘no’ I feel like I’m at my wits end. He’s also started being very harsh towards his 1 year old brother, biting him and pushing him! I k...

Recently my toddler has been doing some very undesirable things while I put the baby down. It doesn’t matter if it take 10 minutes or I get nap trapped or even go pee alone (sometimes she won’t follow me). She will seize any opportunity to tear things apart, dump jars out and just make a huge mess if my house isn’t ...

I have 3 under one currently , I have 7 week old twins and a girl who’s turning 1 on a few weeks. So I’m managing pretty well , I have my partner who works self employed and floats in and out of the house , my morning routine consists of feeding all the kids putting them in hair chairs / bouncers and tiding up the h...

Honestly I'm just fed up. I dread weekends, I'm fed up of SD, fed up of BM. SD has been so clingy since our daughter was born. It's been 6 months now and it's just exhausting. She tells us all she loves us by name every minute - that is no exaggeration. She gets up and follows us without saying anything so when yo...

So my story starts with the fact this man pulled a g*n on himself over an argument about him simply misspeaking and me clarifying. Of course I’m 3 1/2 months pregnant at the time, so I left because I wasn’t going to stay for the next argument and him pulling it on me. I literally left all my belongings because every...

I have a 7 month old and she’s is such a joy to have in my life. I’m 35 and conscious that I don’t have much time to wait years if I consider a 2nd baby. When I was pregnant and gave birth I was very much 1 and done whereas my hubby would have liked to have a 2nd but respect that it’s my body going through this. Now...

My boyfriend (LO father) has just taken our LO out for a couple hours so i can get some rest because i have a migraine. This is only the second time I’ve been away from my LO. The first was a couple days ago when my boyfriend took our LO to see his mum for a few hours. I feel like I’m missing a chunk of me and my ...

House often do you clean your house now baby is around?

So it’s a close relation I’m referring to, ie your husbands sister. What if she has always been hot and cold with you, then it would be that she is nice and happy with everyone else and dismissive to you and sometimes just ignores you. She does this to her own family sometimes too, so it’s very much her personality...

I was on FaceTime with my dad the other day and my son was playing and dropped his cereal on the living room floor and I had vacuumed early so really didn’t mind it. But the face on my dad was of disgust and he told him no but my toddler kept going. I feel STRONGLY about his face reaction as it’s not that serious. (...

I can't seem to get over being upset when strangers touch my 18 m.o. and I'm not talking about random grannies overstepping. I'm talking about service people I.e check out staff and wait staff. I'm all for them interacting but I find it highly inappropriate for them to tickle or kiss her and it sets off a fight or f...

Is anyone else finding their toddlers to be a particularly hard time atm? I feel like the tantrums are happening 10x more than usual, she’s very demanding every 3 seconds she’s wanting something and she’s also learnt “no like it” which I hear about 100 times a day! Normal tactics don’t seem to be working either she’...

Everytime he msgs me I don’t even want to open it. My jaws goes all clinched and my mood changes from happy to shit within seconds of him msging. It is so exhau...
