I think my mother in law will give a whole bunch of other mother in laws a run for their money boy oh boy that woman is delusional 😂

A slightly odd one, I’ve been with my bf for 6years & now we have our own little boy- the odd begins NOW. I have never been into his parents home. They are odd and hoarders - he never had friends over when he was at school or anything. Now his brothers ex has been in a couple times when she was expecting their first...

Does anyone resent their husband since having children!? I just feel my husband has it so easy in comparison with other dads but takes it for granted and still doesn’t use his initiative to help out where I need him. It’s making me resent him and tired of constantly asking him to do things. We have a toddler and...

So yesterday my little girl woke up completely out of the blue with a swollen eye! With it being a Saturday, we took her to the chemist, and he wasn't too concerned, feeling it was a minor skin infection on her eyelid. We weren't either at this stage because she was well within herself and it didn't seem to bother h...

Hey, I could do with some advice because my social skills are rubbish so I have no chance managing someone else's! 🤦‍♀️ Basically, the school I chose for my daughter (age 5) was influenced by the fact that some of her nursery friends were going to the same school but she has since told me several times now that she…

How many times did you get back with your BD? Did it ever work out? We’ve broken up twice and now he wants to get back together and I’m on the fence about it. I’m due in 5 weeks, we’ve broken up twice during my pregnancy. And I have been spending time with him but as a friend. I hangout with his 4 year old daughter ...

So my partner was amazing when my baby was born (he is 5 months old) for the first few weeks I couldn’t sing his praises enough! I had a hard labour followed by c section and he really was a life saver! Helped me through recovery and baby blues you name it. Fast forward to now and honestly he is completely differe...

I’m looking for some advice please. If anyone has had a similar thing happen to them. I have a 9 month old baby with my ex, and he has him twice a week at the moment, not overnight. He’s always trying to cause fights with me, communicate with me, and intimidate me. He’s controlling, narcissistic and abusive. I won...

I’m really struggling with my mother-in-law and not sure if I’m just being sensitive since being pregnant. My mother-in-law had a very difficult relationship with my partner’s ex when they were together and my ex rarely saw his family. Now his ex and his mum are like best friends, chatting every day. Over the last 1...

Me and my partner have recently spoken about extending our family and trying for another baby! I would really love another child and we always said we’d like to have more than one. I miss being pregnant, but I can’t help but feel guilty on my son. Is it too soon? How will I ever love another child as much as I lov...

My MIL just sent me and my partner a video of what my niece was doing around my sons age (nearly 14 months) she was singing wheels on the bus and my little boy only says dada and bye bye, this isn’t the first time she’s compared them, my boyfriend doesn’t see why it bothers me so much but I can’t help but get annoye...

So I’m in a bit of a situation because I’m looking in to sending my LO to nursery once he turns 2 but my partner is adamant he doesn’t want him to go. The main reason I want him to go is because I want him to interact with other toddlers and make friends and he will learn a lot more at nursery than he would at home....

There’s loads of reasons why I want to leave him, after marriage he has allowed his mum to make us argue, he has spoke crap about my to his parents. He dislikes my family, my parents and siblings and they have never done anything to him, they hardly see each other. He has no time for me, he’s always on his phone and...

Anyone else feel guilty that the MIL doesn’t spend as much one on one time as your own parents? I really struggle with anxiety and I can feel resentment towards me because of it. She does get to see him once a fortnight but keeps hinting at opportunities. It doesn’t help my parents look after him once a week buts th...

So we have been in all day due to the bad weather, I got up with our son gave him breakfast, even cooked us all lunch, I then fell asleep on the couch around 4:30pm because I was exhausted as my pregnancy really is getting to me. I woke up about 45 mins later and I went straight upstairs to get ready for work and to...

I’m really struggling and don’t know what to do. My partner has two daughters who stay for a couple of nights a week and who he massively privileges in the house. He has double standards over what he expects from me and them, for example he expects me to run around after them and will not ask them to do a thing. He ...
