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!

I really don’t know what to do with any of my baby daddy’s anymore. I’m tired of this shit. I’m tired of going back-and-forth with them tired of being the one that’s always in the wrong when they are the one that do nothing for their kids like it hurts.💔💔💔💔💔 going back-and-forth with my oldest daughter Dad for the…

Do NOT Let your kids watch videos or apps or streaming services unsupervised! I wanted to share this to give a real life example of the type of shit they are trying to put in front of our kids to brainwash and desensitize them. This is a recent Blue's Clues episode, and the song is to the tune of "The Ants Go Marchi...

I have 1 child. Yes 1. And I cannot manage. I cannot get anything done. Everyday I'm running, rushing, calculating, preparing, planning. I am 33. Live at my mums house. 50k in savings yet cannot afford to move out. Work 4 days a week. Cannot possibly pick up the 5th day because my weeks are hell as it is. Cooking th...

Advice please! My partner asked if he could go to his cousins bday party around the time I was due to give birth, I said no as it was an hour away and wanted him to be there in case I went into labour. My mum was living with us at the time but I still wanted him present for extra support so he said he wouldn’t go. ...

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.

This might sound like a silly question but can you give baby any bread for toast? He’ll be 7 months on Tuesday and want to try giving him toast. Also can you put butter on it or leave it plain? TIA x

I’m after a bit of advice. I’m feeling extremely anxious this morning about a silly argument with my partner that escalated (on my part) last night. We have a 6 month old baby, my partner works full time and gives us a very good and comfortable life. I absolutely adore the bones of him, admire him, and try my hard...

Honestly this is more of just a rant.. but I’ve just had enough. My partner works nightshift 4/5days a week. His days off he will play his PS5 which is fine but when it’s all night and I’m talking he’s only went to bed now.. it frustrates me. And then obviously when little one wakes up I’m gonna have to grab him as ...

I hate even writing this, but I really don’t want to leave my 5 month old alone with my husband. I’m a SAHM and love being with my little one. I rarely take time to be by myself, but when I try or do my husband gets frustrated and angry around baby. He wants me to be able to have this time, but the baby gets fussy w...

Okay mamas let me know if I’m overreacting & being dramatic .. I’m a first time mom & we celebrated Mother’s Day with my fiancée’s parents, got dinner & hungout pretty much all day (meanwhile I didn’t even get to see my own mom on Mother’s Day) While at dinner his mom goes “don’t forget you guys have to do something...

House has gone to pot I can’t physically do it!!! So I asked my partner to tidy up and c...

Today we have started BLW and I am terrified 🫣 I’ve started with avocado which LO has gnawed on but is this a big enough piece? Should it be bigger??? I’m so scared of him breaking a piece off and choking, I’m using the solid starts app but I just don’t trust myself that it’s correct 😭 what does everyone thing? any…

I gave my toddler a plate with buttered toast, fruit, and aubergine. She only picked the toast and ate almost all of it, without touching or tasting the other two. I just started BLW a few weeks ago. She's 19 months old. What can I do to encourage her to eat everything on her plate? I tried modeling by eating the fo...

I have a 8 month old and he used to eat 3 times a day (puree) he was such a good eater. But now when I put food to his mouth he tight lips his mouth and refuses to even take a bite. Anyone else’s baby done this? He now only wants milk is this normal? He has his bottom two teeth already, not sure if more teeth is c...

Hi. Is there any mom who is not sending her LO in nursery? I'm working only on weekends, so I can look after my child during a week, but I feel she needs to socialise more, but that will cost me 270£ per month ( 2 full days) + possibly I will have to work more h and I will be more tired 😒

We just started weaning today and I’m following the suggested schedule in “How to Wean Your Baby”. My parents are visiting and my dad keeps saying “just give her porridge! Just give her banana!” We gave her broccoli for her first taste today and she wasn’t sure, but my husband and dad both told me “oh she hates it. ...

My little boy genuinely hates me. He is at nursery mon-weds so we are together thirs-sun and I swear 90% of the time he is awake he whines or cries. So this morning I had half an hour of whining and then left him with my partner whilst I went upstairs to do some cleaning and not once when he was with my partner did ...

Do you still have rules? I still feel strongly about the kissing baby and smoking near him rules that we've had since day 1. I've always said only me and his dad can kiss his face because I just don't feel comfortable with anyone else doing that. I've had to remind my partners parents everytime they've flew over to ...
