Do you ever just feel like “things would be so much easier if it were just me and my baby” ? My daughter’s father and I just haven’t been on the same page for a while now. I’ve made mistakes such as not being supportive when he wants an overnight job, leaving me to raise our 16month old and HIS two children 5,6. He’...

Hi, I’m currently pregnant. I do all the cooking. I do all the cleaning. I do all the laundry. We split the bills 50/50. I look after our child we have at the moment and he plays with him for about 10 minutes a day and that’s it. And that’s only because he knows I will have a go at him if he doesn’t. He leaves his ...

I have 4 weeks to go and feel like I can’t do anything because my husband is always working and says it’s not safe for me to go out alone, not that I would get very far as it is a struggle to walk for long! I just feel so cooped up and uncomfortable. I know baby will come soon but then I will be cooped up with a bab...

Hey guys just needing to vent a little bit. The father of our one yr old child lives in a different state, from the moment I was pregnant he gave false promises (I will move to you guys but put no effort in and instead moved further away), he says a lot of stuff that sounds good in the moment but never follows throu...

Baby woke up crying and usually when I get him to lull him back to sleep he stops crying. This time he didn’t which made me think he hit his head in his crib. I wake up my husband to feel his head and he tells me no because he’s so tired from working all day. This frustrates me so much I yell at him and call him an ...

So last year me and SO had 2 actual arguments where his voice was definitely raised and he ended up stomping and punching a wall out of frustration. I kid you not literally since then whenever our boys (5&2) have a tantrum or I tell them off they will now stomp at me or even imitate punching the wall. Now obviously ...

I’m so annoyed with my husband. He was at work all day (he owns the business picks his damn hours has full staff) I’ve been home all day with a teething baby who only wants me not mil. All I asked him to do was either make dinner (burgers) or give her a bath. He chose dinner, after 40 fucking mins in the shower hims...

So I talked to him about getting take out tonight to celebrate him and this new position he got. He got off at 12 and came home and napped and then said at 2 that his coworkers wanted to take him out for ...

So I say I take care of all household stuff and toiletries and he says that nothing compared to what I do. Mind you we have two kids and he doesn't help with them at all, all he does is pay the bills not saying it's anything wrong with that but how he said it was so rude to me and now he's telling me he needs me to ...

I’ve been the primary parent then single parent, bread winner, chef, maid, laundress, everything since pregnancies and now that they’re older (5+) I feel like I’ve hit a wall. A wall of exhaustion, depression, and I hate to say it, not caring. I still love them and would do anything for them, but I don’t want to p...
