Anyone gets annoyed to their husband for not knowing how to settle the baby or can’t make the baby fall asleep? I get so frustrated when my husband is watching our son for few minutes and when he cries or get cranky I end up rushing what I was doing just to get the baby back because my husband doesn’t try different...

I’m 20 and me and my husband live with my mother who helps us TREMENDOUSLY but.. I’ve asked her not to bring her “spouse” around my daughter because she’s constantly breaking up with them and they have disrespected my husband and I over the course of 3 years; for example saying things like “I fell bad for ______ tha...

Ladies. You cannot trust men. Even the “good” ones wear a mask. My husband told me about some of the conversations the married/serious relationship guys have with each other. He revealed to me that they mostly talk about women that they meet or sleep with. Just completely disrespecting their partners without any reg...

Today was such a tough day. We’re in the transition period and have a whole month to make it as smooth as possible, but after today, I’m feeling so anxious. My little one cried on and off the whole time, barely ate anything, completely refused his bottle, and only slept for 34 minutes. Last week, we started with ju...

We agreed you know to not add ppl on snap and only the ppl we had on it turns out he added her march 11 and on my son birthday he was otp with her and shi ...

So my husband is being asked to pay more for child support . Ok fine whatever . But it’s evident that bm doesn’t use that money on their kid . Ok whatever right . But then I hate how he then supplies things for their daughter there and here . Not my money so I don’t care . My annoyance is that he’ll give give give t...

My husband has grown up in an enmeshed family dynamic. This has caused tension in our marriage. For the last 5 years, We've dealt with my in-laws overstepping boundaries, berating and manipulating my husband when he's tried to successfully set boundaries, wanting to know every decision we are making, including decis...

My partner wants nobody else involved for the first two weeks after our daughter being born. He wants time just us to bond and said that he feels like I'm going to take that away from him and that it won't be a special time if anyone else is involved. On the other hand, I really want the support of my Mum. She's goi...

I’m in a relationship and my baby’s daddy is so good with him but sometimes it feels like I’m on my own, I look after my 3m baby boy all day which I love, but like everyone knows it’s not just looking after him is it. It cleaning the house, doing bottle, washing up, laundry I feel like I never get my own time anymor...

I spent my first Mothers Day with my 11 month old and Husband. All week leading up to Mother’s Day I worked 40+ hours…I then saw my mum after work Friday and again Saturday. I rang her first thing Mother’s Day and tried arranging a time for her to come and collect her flowers and card as she was driving this way to...

My husband and I have been married 9 years, however i decided to separate because his has a bad temper, a complainer. No patience AT ALL, so he will do things that I never felt good about it, he always made me feel unheard, and at times I fear him, he would constantly erase his voice even to me. So other things tha...

Am I wrong that I feel like I shouldn’t have to ask if I want to go somewhere once my son’s father/bf is home. When I do ask ahead of time just so I don’t spring it on him it’s already like he has an attitude. The crazy part is I’m never gone for hours and it’s always something beneficial for the household not even ...

I feel like a terrible parent lately. Since my son was little he has always had screen time (the tv has always been on in the background etc) but lately it’s becoming a problem and I’m angry at myself for letting him have it too much. We bought him an iPad for Christmas to make our lives that little bit easier as he...

Am I reasonable for wanting to leave? For a very long time now I’ve been unhappy, I’ve fallen out of love, my partner always gives me the cold shoulder when I try to bond with him, I feel completely ignored, trying to connect with him and him ignoring me constantly causes me physical pain and stress my heart actuall...

After a really lovely Mother’s Day yesterday I woke up today feeling very “meh” I have a 10 week old and am already worrying about going back to work in October - I really would love the full year off however financially I cannot make it work - my partner is really supportive and is self employed and earns a lot how...

I watch my niece, she is 7 months. My son really struggles to share his toys. He’s 20 months. He does great if it’s something that she brought from home he will happily give it to her when she drops it. I am conflicted on if it’s best to force him to share his stuff or have designated his and hers toys at this age. ...

Anyone struggling with their babies separation anxiety?! My son is super clingy, picky with food too and gets super upset (and cries) when he doesn’t get what he wants or he plays with something and can’t with it anymore (we redirect). He wakes up many times overnight in his crib. He rarely sleeps overnight with...

So I ask him to do something for help me with our kids they are 4 2 and 6 months so im always running but he either forgets and i end up doing it... or he says I can't I'm busy (with his game) And 90% of the time he is on his ...

Hey, mom’s! I got a question since I’ve been getting some mom guilt. I have a 3 (almost 4 in April) step daughter & I just wanna know if there’s a thing as “too much” independent play time. I’m not sure if I follow this cuz how I grew up or it’s perfectly fine! She typically wakes up, watches cartoons in her room un...

I have started planning my wedding and a friend I met on this app has assumed she’s invited to my wedding and even said ‘don’t get married / pick your wedding date on ‘X’ day because I’m maid of honour at ‘X’ wedding’ (I haven’t picked a venue or date yet) and also offered to help with invitations which is really ni...
