How many days can you stand a visit from your MIL?

Would also be interested in whether you get along with her generally, even if you replied that you don’t want her staying forever 😉

I live with her lol, we get along,but feel more relaxed when she at work.

She lives with us and I love her she is the best! Always offering to watch our son! She is recovering from a sugery right now and I can tell she misses her time with the baby. She would watch him while we ate dinner before he started self-feeding so we could watch a show and relax and then we would get to hop in the shower together. It was great now im just caring for her and her younger kids with my husband i just have a great family tbh

My husband rarely talks to his mom so I don't even know her but the few times ive her her on phone call with my husband, I don't like her haha

The woman gets on my nerves so it’d have to only be a few hours and I mostly hide away and do chores when she’s around anyway. She’s only there to see the kids and question my husband on his life choices. Idk why my poor man feels the need to impress her still.

(Used to live with her)

She’s okay in small doses, she still treats my partner like a baby and wants to do everything for him and makes comments about how I should be raising the children, she also likes to make everything about her

Pls help x

Hey Mamas right, nothing to do with baby lool.

So usually my husband initiates sex and everything. Before pregnancy I used to initiate as well, but during pregnancy and after, I honestly don’t feel like it 😭. Even during pregnancy when we did have sex, I just didn’t enjoy it at all — I kept thinking about the baby etc. I’m now 2 months postpartum and definitely don’t want another baby anytime soon ofc lool.

But ladies… recently I’ve been thinking of ways to make sex more enjoyable again. How do I actually make sex enjoyable? Do you use sex toys? are you against them? Please feel free to share, I’m genuinely just curious!! Any tips would be greatly appreciated! x

Honest feedback

I’ve been thinking about continuing mommy & me Pilates/workout classes and creating more spaces where moms can bring baby.

Do you think this is something moms actually want? Would you go?

Would genuinely love your thoughts/advice before I continue building this out 🫶🏼

Am I right?

My boyfriend took our baby to see one of his friends who is a girl but he didn’t tell me and I found out myself.. it’s not the fact he took the baby to see her it’s the fact he hasn’t told me?
We haven’t been getting on for a while and he seems to be being disrespectful a lot lately

Childcare account reconfirmation whilst on Maternity Allowance

I need to reconfirm my account but I am now on Maternity Allowance with my 3rd baby. Is there a box I need to tick to state this to continue to get my 3 year olds hours?

Not my cup of tea

What do you do if your mum starts to chat you you on here but she’s not your cup of tea so you’re not interested in being friends?

I have 2 under 2 so very little time, a mum has messaged me who had kids way older than mine so we’re could never do play dates and our interests don’t align. I don’t even have time for my family right now let alone new friends who aren’t my vibe. But if there was someone who contacted me who looked like bestie material I would make time for it.

So what’s the kindest thing to do?

Sex became a task for me

Ever since I got pregnant until now, baby is 18 months old, I totally lost my sex drive. It’s become a task for me that I still have to fulfill at the end of the day. We probably do it like 2-3 times per week. My husband wants me on top and not only do I dislike doing it, I also just don’t have the strength for it anymore. Physically and mentally.

I feel sorry for him because he’s doing so much for the family but it just feels like a burden to me. Today I kind of snapped when he wanted me on top again and I told him how I’m doing this for him and that it’s a task for me and I’d rather just go to bed or watch tv. Of course he got turned off, sad, disappointed and feels unloved and unwanted.

I really don’t know what to do. We don’t have a village, it’s just us. We’re rocking this thing but it’s taking its toll on me.
I don’t want to ruin our marriage through this but I also can’t just fake it anymore.

What can I do to enjoy this more again?
