Me and my partner have been together around 6 months. We had a drink last night, I said something I hadn't told him straight away when it happened (he was at work and I wanted to tell him at home rather than stress him at work) he got annoyed I didn't tell him as soon as it happened. He then decided to stay up all n...

I just met a woman for the first time at a social function who pretty much said I was not a good mom for having my nearly three year old in daycare from 7:30am to 5:30pm 5 days a week. She insisted that I cant bond with my child with just a few hours a day. She has no children of her own but has worked in a daycare....
So I bought this really cute (& expensive) plate & bowl set after we recently moved. Tonight while loading the dishwasher, I noticed one was missing. I looked all around the kitchen, in the fridge, in the freezer, in the bedrooms, pretty much anywhere I could think of where a plate might be. It’s no where to be foun...
