I went to join my partner in the shower and caught him standing in front of the mirror, with phone in hand, playing with himself. Initially my mind went to thinking he was sending explicit videos to someone else, but he told me he was just watching porn. I’m now upset that he chose to go and have a wank rather than ...

A new-ish (2 years) mum friend kept hinting she wants to come over to mine for a little dinner and play date with our toddlers. I don’t mind this even though I’m a little anxious as I’m pretty private and don’t really have anyone other than family over in my personal space/home. I went ahead and invited her. She k...

So i live on the ground floor, i chose it bc i have a dog and with a new baby otw i thought it’d be easier to get to the parking lot and walk my dog without having to take the stairs. We had neighbors move in a week after us and have had issues with garbage, i wrote them a nice letter to not block the pathway with t...

I’m 19 weeks pregnant and I really wanna eat a turkey and cheese lunchable but I don’t know if I can lol someone please let me know … also my son won’t try it unless he sees me eat it first 😂

My husband is brilliant honestly, I swear he’s a saint at times and wondered what I did to bag myself such a good one. However, when it comes to answering his phone he’s horrendous! He never does, even his family don’t bother phoning him anymore they phone me. Sometimes he has a tonne of missed calls. Now I’m pre...

Does anyone else get really annoyed with this whole first time mum outlook and people thinking you don't know what you are doing? My MIL loves to take control over my 7 month old son. She makes comments about how he needs to put on weight, tries to tell me my milk isn't enough and that I'm not producing much (like ...

Hey so I’ve recently had a job offer and it is the perfect job, it’s in my sons primary school (that he will go to in a few years) it’s 2mins away from home and has a lovely preschool for my son when he’s 3, but the job is 5 days a week which means he will be in nursery 5 days and I feel so guilty.. although it will...

Hey ladies, (long read sorry) So I’ve just had a discussion with my husband that turned quite heated and I can’t help but feel overwhelmed by it so I wanted to get other’s opinions. So we were talking about how realistic we would be with our children, for example if our daughter came up and said I want to be a pr...

He is currently on a 3 day work trip, he brought me with him since im pregnant and it was more than three hours away but we are in separate hotels because his company paid for his hotel room in a very expensive hotel so he found me one less than 5 minutes away in one we could actually afford.. Anyways. Last night(ni...

Hey 👋🏻 I’m a bit confused about the childcare funding situation - I heard from the nursery that my LO is going to in the autumn saying that he wouldn’t be eligible for the childcare funding in September as he won’t be 9 months before the 31st of August (so frustrating, he’s 4 days too young) but that he can get…

So basically my MIL passed away last October due to very upsetting circumstances. She used to watch my daughter and I would see her and my FIL pretty often they’d come over and see my LG regularly but since she’s passed there’s been no effort made by my FIL. They used to foster a LG and he was happy to go and watch ...

I was initially anxious of trying it out. I heard so many opinions and so many stories. “You should give it around 6 mos” “You should not give purees coz it will lead to speech delay” “You should…” Well IVE HAD IT! I am gonna do it! And i am so proud of him! We both had positive experience and bub loved and enj...

I feel like I must be getting it wrong somehow. We've been trying little one with solids for three weeks, but he's barely having anything (less than a teaspoon) and gets upset everytime. He's tried purees, sticks of banana, melty puffs, bits of what I'm having. Timing wise breakfast is about 1hr after waking, oth...

HOW IN THE LIVING HELL DO YOU NOT SAY ANYTHING TO YOUR BABY DADDY? HOW DID YOU NOT GO OFF ON HIM AND JUST TELL HIM ABOUT HIMSELF? I NEED ANSWERS CAUSE RIGHT NOW I FEEL LIKE RIPPING HIS THROAT OUT KICKING HIM IN THE FACE THEN STOMPING ON IT AFTER. I need guidance on being calm in situations like this

So what are your go too foods when introducing solids. He got an eczema flare up from wheat. So I was thinking carrots and avocado next? We have a baby bullet too.

I have always been a very calm and chill person and that is what I envisioned me being as a mom..my son is almost 3 months old I thought I would be taking him everywhere by now but my anxiety is crippling in a sense we spend most of our time at home I was hoping I would take him on walks but living in NC we’re in th...

As mother's day coming very soon, I notice the husband has to choose celebrating us on mother's day or there mother's. I asked my husband that I do not want to celebrate mother's day and don't want to dress up and take the baby out on a crowded restaurant and stress out. I rather stay home and eat what I love n drin...
