So my stepson Spends every weekend with me My husband and now 2 month old. But he is sick this weekend and I got upset because his mother dropped him off knowing he is sick and that I have a new born. I just asked that he not come this weekend for the baby's sake but my husband says it's his son and he can't tell hi...

Does it get better?? Any advice/encouragement is welcome. Back story: So i had my daughter December 2023, and im waiting for this "father-instinct" to kick in w my husband. Since she's been born it's been majority on me. He didn't work the first 3 months of her being born, and he BARELY helped out. It was more so ...

I love my kids like I would never leave them or let anything bad happen to them but some days I just don’t want to/enjoy being around them. I get tired of watching the same cartoons on a loop or play etc and feel like every little thing is a massive effort, they often annoy me and put me in a bad mood (especially ...

Me , my husband and 3 month old are in egypt. Waiter at all inclusive was very rude to me when he got my drink order wrong . He brought white wine instead of the red I ordered. I kindly asked him to change it and he proceeded to shout in my face that I ordered red wine which I didn’t . I corrected him and walked o...

Just here to complain a little bit. I strongly believe that in a serious relationship (especially if you live together and/or have kids) there's no yours and mine for money. We help eschother out and live equally. I'm very generous with money but I'm getting tired or my other half being crap at saving and everything...

Im 21 weeks pregnant and my husband keeps trying to break off our relationship. He says im not religious enough and that we are unequally yoked . But Im not sure how to save this marriage we’ve been married for almost two years . I really love him and don’t want to loose him but it feels like a rollercoaster . Some ...

I just wanted to share something I heard this week about parenting, that really changed my outlook on the parenting experience. It was so simple yet so true. I heard someone say "you are the expert on your child, you know them better than anyone else" this really resonated for those of us dealing with tantrums, slee...

If I paid friend and / or family childcare rather than example a childminder could I still get childcare cost help with universal credit? Or would it have to be with someone registered ? Thanks

So me and my partner and our 10 month old baby are on holiday at the moment. We are very lucky and have a little holiday home in hastings. Every time we go away he just leaves me to deal with the little one and just goes of onto slot machines ( he only uses them when on holiday). I just have to walk little one aroun...

Struggling, first time mum had an emergency c section 2 weeks ago and my husband won’t feed/Dress/change the baby unless asked to! It’s affecting me now physically and mentally as I can’t even shower some days as I get hardly any help with the baby.. My husband gets to shower he manages to have food and workout in t...

How many suitcases would you need? Usually when we go abroad just the 2 of us we take a big suitcase each for the hold! My partner seems to think we need 4 big suitcases and is going to add an extra two onto our holiday… do we need 2 big suitcases for baby? 😂 to me seems a bit too much but it will be our first time…

I had my first child in 2021 and had to spend 2 weeks in hospital after she was born because of complications. As soon as we got home, we had family descending on us every hour or so and this went on for almost 2 weeks. None of them helped practically whilst visiting, they didn’t bring food (lol), they kept picking ...

I’ve got a jumperoo but I’m just wondering is it to earlier to put her in it

Ok so I’m just recently a stay at home mom again. I haven’t been one since my son was 5 months old, and I took a couple months off around September but that was it. My son is 2 and I just recently had our daughter who is 2 months old on the 29th. My son usually spends every other week at his dads but his dad hasn’t ...

Anyone else felt completely disconnected from their partner after having their baby? I had my baby last week, and now I feel like I don’t like my bf at all and would rather it just be me and my baby. I felt completely fine towards him before giving birth; he’s not a bad partner, I’m just feeling like my baby is the ...
