As a SAHM does your husband/partner makes you feel appreciated? My husband doesn’t miss a beat to throw in my face that he pays all the bills and I am ONLY watching the baby all day and I should be doing more.

My husband took wet clothes from the dryer and placed them on top of my clean folded towels and beddings so that he could wash his run around jacket This is like the second time he is doing that dumb shit and at this point I believe he is being ignorant.

I was at the library with my 10-month-old, he was playing with race track by himself. A little girl came up to him, she got really close to him and I told my son, “Say hi to the girl.” He then barely touched the little girl’s face, so I told him to keep his hands to himself and to only say hi. Suddenly, the little ...

You know how people say your kids are your biggest motivation. I keep going for my kids. Is it bad that I don’t feel that way? Like I want to be a better version of myself for them but I still have that lazy part of me like ugh I just don’t know what I wanna do so I’m not gonna do nothing. Nothing motivates me and p...

My bd is not an aggressive guy. But when we argue it’s like something comes over him. idk if I antagonize him because when he doesn’t want to talk I get upset & I keep hounding him and eventually he’ll get up and push me away and I think it’s abusive. He knows it’s wrong and recently we’ve decided to take a break be...

Hi all I don’t know why I’m writing this really, I just want to know I’m not the only one. I have an 18 month old boy who I love to pieces. I’m adoring being his mummy, I feel really settled in that aspect. But other than that, I’ve lost all sense of myself. Not in the “I have no freedom anymore” way - I don’t care...
