Nursery days

Hi everyone. What are the best days for the little one to go to nursery? My husband and I are planning to work less and have one day off each from our work. That means our baby will be at nursery 3 days a week. Just wondering if it’s better to send him on alternate days or one continuous block. Thank you!

Husband lies

My husband lies about everything, both small and big things. We even went to a marriage counselor, and she also said that he is not mature enough and is a liar. I don’t know what to do. Should I continue living like this, or should I leave him? The constant lies are becoming unbearable.

What would you get for kids that my dog chased

I need some advice. My dog thought the neighbours kids wanted to play with him and he chased the kids. Later the father came up to me and asked me to put him on the lead next time (I asked before if it was ok to let him off) as my dog caught on of the kids ankle. I apologise to them, including the child but I feel s...

My 5 year old is a complete brat

And I live with my dad so I can find a job and save up and move out. But my daughter is completely off her rocker and the trauma doesn’t help either. I don’t know how to get...
