Parenting

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...

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 ...

i was on a bus up to my nans house, she lives in the middle of no where and buses up to her house are every hour. we got to a bus stop and a man with an electronic wheelchair was leaving his house and wanted to get of the bus, since there was already prams on the bus i was in the wheelchair space, he asked if i cou...

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...

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...

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...

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

I feel so annoyed. My husband doesn’t let me spend on anything. Neither asks me if I need anything just even little things (apart from food) i still wear the same clothes I’ve had since being pregnant in 2022 and my sister in laws are always fancy just well dressed I feel like such a tramp. He says oh it’s a waste o...

So my partner has gone no contact with his parents for reasons I will not get into. Part of me is very happy because they have been so overbearing and difficult. My MIL messaged me today about how sad she is because she will not be there on mothers day.. it annoyed the hell out of me because this is my FIRST mothe...

First, my husband has been really hands on especially once I got pregnant-took on more house chores and cooking etc. now that our LO is here we started off great with a night routine even though he still has work. Only this past week (LO is almost 5 weeks) she has had more gas and been increasingly fussy, her crie...

Gosh where to even begin… my husband just told me a few things and I’m not really sure how to help him fix this. He feels isolated like the only time me or the kids engage with him is when we want something from him. We have had a difficult few years (felt like roommate status for at least 3yrs) we went to counselin...

i’m a SAHM, my husbands job is sending him to Vegas for a convention for about 5 days, am i wrong for being upset/sad/mad about him going and i staying home in Texas with a 14 week old? we’ve talked about it and he’s offered to talk to higher ups to see if everything can be cancelled but i feel guilty because fligh...

Mums with extra fussy babies, how do you cope? Mine cries no matter what we do for several hours a day and is insanely hard to settle. Doctor said it’s purple crying and there’s nothing wrong medically. I love him to bits but finding it super hard at the moment.

My 11 month old has been such a grumpy nightmare since he turned 11months. He can crawl, stand and get about the house as he pleases so I don’t think he’s frustrated. But he just whines and cries grunts at every given opportunity. His sleep has also gone to sh*t. I feel like I’ve been such a bad mum this week as my ...

So our 4 year old was fighting over a toy with his younger brother I warned them that I would take it if they wouldn’t stop/ take turns. I ended up taking the toy but as I have taken it out 4 year old has grabbed my leg and said “I don’t want you to take it” I’ve responded pretty calmly. His dad sees him on my leg a...
