Is it safe to leave a crockpot on when you’re not home?

I’ve never had one. I just slow cook things in my big pot. But I hear of people using a crockpot and leaving for the day. It would be nice to do that but it doesn’t sound safe. I’m trying to decide if I should get one.

Birthday money

Hello, I found out my boyfriend sent his female colleague £50 for her 30th birthday as she was also going on holiday so said it was for that too. They worked together for 6 years but he doesn't work there anymore. He didnt tell me he sent her money. Hes really kind and generous but its annoying me he didn't tell me and it felt like a secret. Do we think this is odd?

intimacy with my man….

hey ladies , sooooo to jump right into this my man has been complaining about our fun time & saying i never want to “ put out “ but it’s kind of hard when he says things like “ I want to get you pregnant again “ “ I miss making love with no protection “ “ when you were pregnant I could finish inside of you “ ( I know sorryyyy tmi ) but I just need validation . i’m 3yrs pp yay , i’m finally starting to feel like myself & get my body back & in no way am I ready for another child & honestly i’m in the mindset of 1 & DONE . i love my son & he’s more than enough . but I feel like he wants another one or at least wants me pregnant cause “ I wanted him more “ or because he was able to not wear protection . but now when we do make love he pisses me off because he TAKES OFF THE CONDOM without me noticing & I get mad cause dude i’m not trying to get PREGNANT ! but then he gives me the sob story of how he can’t feel it with it on & it doesn’t feel good…. like dude idc im trying to stay protected . so it honestly makes me not want to do anything with him ! also my labido has been off since I gave birth . I don’t care to have that pleasure anymore… but I know he “ needs it “ . idk what to do . & yes i’ve talked to him about it & he just says “ I don’t remember taking it off “ or try’s lie saying he never took it off . & he just gets mad at me saying he’s so frustrated cause I don’t “ put out anymore “…..

How often would you say you need sex?

I only cave it like 2-3 times a month. This is my personal opinion and experience 👇

I feel there’s a big group of women who only crave sex 2-4 times a month and are afraid to own it. And this could be from their unfulfilling sexual experiences, problems with their partner, exhaustion, or just how often they naturally crave it and feel genuinely aroused.

And most of these women often end up having more sex than what they actually grave bc societal pressure to be a sexual woman and their partners requiring it more frequently so they end up having sex not properly aroused. And the men end up believing that that is something normal a woman can do but its not and it ends up affecting her and therefore affecting their relationship.

Sex @ 6 weeks pp

So i have my 6 week postpartum appointment on Thursday but I am actually 7 weeks pp as of today.
Anyway, my husband and I had sex last week for the first time since having our son. Unfortunately, he finished inside of me (i told him not to). At my appointment, i know my OB is going to ask about birth control but i am scared there’s a chance of me being pregnant AGAIN. Should i tell her what happened? Should i just refuse the BC until i know for sure?
i am so scared yall🙃

Maternity leave

I have been working with my company since September 2025 and I’m worried I’m not going to be eligible for maternity pay. What do I do if I’m not. My partner works but it’s not enough to support us. I get UC and child benefit.
