Being a stepmom is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Ive been a single mom. I struggled on my own. Being a stepmom with a bonus child who is parented completely opposite than I do is so challenging. The lying, the thinking they’re an adult, the not understanding when we say something is dangerous to other children in the home…I just cannot. I want to be close to my bonus child, but I’m tired of the constant correction. I feel guilty when telling my husband to correct her to protect our baby and to make sure she’s not getting into adult business or lying but it’s like what gives?!

Should I have a third child? Advice please

Hi mums! 💕 I’d love to hear your experiences of having a third baby.

We currently have two very young children and I keep going back and forth about whether we should have a third ( in the future like 3-4 years from now). Some days I feel like our family isn’t quite complete yet, and other days I think, “Surely two is enough!” 😂

For those of you who have had a third, how did you find the transition from 2 to 3? Was it much harder than you expected? Did you ever regret having another, or feel like it was absolutely the right decision?

Would really love to hear the honest, good, bad and messy experiences! ❤️

Ovulating ? Or Soon …

I’m new to doing ovulation strips - does the line have to be the same colour as the control line?

Do we have to be regulated to be here?

I'm trying every day to be better in myself so I can be better for my children. It's hard and I'm a long way from being there but I try to gentle parent and use natural consequences, unfortunately my "husband" is permissive at the best of times 😒 So, what's the stipulation for being allowed to join?
