It sounds like post partum depression , sounds like me and ive been diagnosed. It is okay to get annoyed sometimes aswell x

I am just sat crying in bed husband snoring baby eating ang want to scream and walk away feeling so low like what is the point

Honestly i get it. I was crying in bed tonight next to my partner being quiet so he doesn't hear me. Came into the living room to cry and calm down. Gone back to bed and before ive even fallen asleep baby needs me . I settled him and then he woke after not even 2 hours and now hes climbing my sofa and has been up since 1:30am like I wanna scream at my partner hes not effing going to sleep i just wanna go to bed . Why won't he settle.
It's hard when you feel your doing everything you can . But you are not alone.
Message me if you want someone who knows what your going through x

“Are you completely in love?” Well..he’s not a person and I’m weeping because I need sleep, and the house is a mess I can’t fix, and I keep forgetting to/aren’t motivated to eat anything so I’m super run down and all he does is cry or sleep…. I don’t not love him but it’s hard to find the joy sometimes.
You’re not alone x

I'm 9 months postpartum with my LG & for the first 4 months of her life I suffered so bad with postnatal depression. I wouldn't accept help to try sort it, and insisted on sorting it myself. I got angry/annoyed so easy at my baby, I instantly felt guilt for feeling the way I did. I never hurt my baby, only with words but that was enough 😔 now shes 9 months & I see joy in everyday. Yes i have the odd rough day where being a mam is tough but I have so many good days now I can cope so much better with the 'bad days'. If help is offered please accept it girls, but it will get better! Just hold on - trust me. I have been there in them dark days. Better days are coming 🩷

Do you teach your child the proper terms for genitalia (penis/vagina)?

My husband is uncomfortable with our daughter knowing or using the word "penis". Do you teach your child the proper terms? I say it should be normalized but he disagrees because it makes him uncomfortable.

The only time we dont want a mans soft side...

Hey ladies.... i have something I want to just get off my chest. Ive noticed my husband becoming soft pretty early but lately hes been getting softer a lot more while having sex and its hard to enjoy the finish line when it becomes soft mid way . Because men have high ego about this stuff ive never talked to him about it. I know itll embarrass him. And culturally this is still very hash hash. Hes going to be 41 this year but the softness started around late 20s from what I Remmeber or early 30s. I dont think its work stress either. I guess i want to ask if this age is normal? I thought they were good until at least mid 50s?

How to not react? / “Grey rocking”?

TO PREFACE YALL I AM WORKING INCREDIBLY HARD ON GETTING OUT OF THIS SITUATION BUT AS YOU KNOW IT TAKES TIME GETTING THINGS TOGETHER TO LEAVE WITH A BABY. NO I DO NOT HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO AND AM NOT ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR RESOURCES.

as someone that’s passionate, LATINA, very opinionated HOW DO I STFU. In a situation right now where he is verbally and emotionally abusive. It’s gotten worse. wasn’t always like this. “Shut the fuck up” “Get the fuck out” “Bitch” “Cunt”. girl I’ve heard it all. some days it hits harder and I do run away and cry ..

but i’m at the point where it doesn’t even hurt me or surprise me the things that MF says. so as someone that’s emotional, out spoken, stubborn.. how do i stop reacting!!?! grey rock i think they call it. i know i know “just say Ok” “just walk away”. sometimes after a hard day or week FUCK IT IS SOO HARD TO NOT STICK IT TO THEM YK? like fuck you. trust me i’m not one to be walked on or take it im tired of arguing though. tired of telling him who the fuck he’s talking to. anyways for my own peace of mind.. how?

Formula

I’m looking to switch my baby to formula I’ve been looking at the European brands cause they seem to have less gunk than the US formulas, but I really am scared to use Formuland. I don’t know which one cause I’m needing to switch here soon

Sleep training

What are you opinions on it?
Cry out method, Forbes and others?
Past experiences?
My 2.5 yo still need us in the room on the bed with him until he falls asleep, although sweet and all sometime it may take even over an hour.
I refused to sleep training him before because I couldn’t handle the cry, but now my 5 months old really doesn’t sleep at all from 1 am he’d wake up every 30-45 minutes and I’m exhausted. Spending so much time with mu 2 yo to put him to sleep then my baby…
Help!

Need urgent advice!

Hi moms, I really need some advice. My 2-year-old still doesn’t sleep through the night and wakes up anywhere from 3 to 7 times. She eats well, is generally healthy, and is meeting all her milestones. She drinks Aptamil Pepti 2 before bed.
I’m starting to worry this isn’t normal and that I might be missing something. I’d really appreciate any advice, has anyone been in a similar situation? Did you take your child to see a GP or a specialist?
