Not really a question, more like minor rant and looking for a solution or advice x Whenever my child’s father contacts I feel very anxious. My heart starts pounding.

my husband and i recently posted our list of boundaries for when baby arrives (as seen below) since our due date is right around the corner. i figured some of our family would have issues with these especially given our past, but im honestly feeling pretty disappointed how many of my close friends and family are bei...

Just left my newborn behind with my mum and walked out after trying to console him all day, I’ve been trying to BF him since birth and faced nothing but discouragement from my mum and partner.

How do you guys split up baby duties with your man if you’re a stay at home mom or work part time and they work full time?? Rant: my fiancé thinks his only purpose as a man is to work and pay bills and so that gives him a free pass to lay in bed and sit on his phone when he gets off work or his days off.. I’ve tried...

My sons day care just called to let me know that they have been observing my son and they notice that he has weak strength in his arms and legs. They said they notice he doesn’t really want to grip the pencil correctly. When they try to put him in the bycucle he kinda pushes himself but won’t really pedal. In summar...

Hi! I’m a SAHM. My husband is otherwise really nice but there have been two incidences when in the middle of a fight he asked me to pack my bags and leave his house. That has hurt my self respect and I really don’t know what to do? I have an 8 months old baby girl.

Is it decaying? It's one of her baby tooth so do I need to be extra worried?.

I’m worried about my 1 year old. It’s only been just over a day but she won’t keep any food down without throwing it up. She seems to be okay with water so I’m constantly getting her to drink. Any advice? I’ve tried toast, banana and dry biscuits so far
