So I've only ever worked at 3 jobs and only went to a single Christmas party for 1 job. It was a dinner, organised a week or so in advance. I've been to another work celebration (anniversary of the company), and it was also at night and organised in advance. So I don't really have much experience in this matter. ...
So I'm debating with my husband and need quick answers. (Please ask your husbands too). He says that every man looks at females and the first thing that pops in their head is (would I do the nasty with her or not). He also thinks married women do the same thing and check out guys just as much as men do. I said t...
My 14mo LG's childminder messaged us today to say that our daughter vomited & to collect her & that she can't come back in until 48hrs have passed & she's informed the other parents that she won't be available until that timeframe has passed. Is this an overreaction or is this normal? Btw, my daughter isn't ill, it...
I feel like a shitty mom but I’m done. I’m over it. I’m throwing in the towel. My ex and i separated 4 years ago. I have moved on, am very happy, and engaged to be married.

Posting incognito just in case. This is my second successful pregnancy and I’m feeling very on my own with the whole experience. My first pregnancy (with my now ex-husband) was pretty smooth. He made me feel super attractive, forever told me how he loved how much I was changing and would shower me with love. 7 yea...
After watching this documentary it’s actually made me never want to give my LO a smartphone. Limiting screentime for our babies is one thing, but as they get older and all their friends have a phone it will get so much harder to control. I feel so strongly now that every parent needs to push the agenda to ban smartp...

My little girl just turned 2 luckily enjoys fruit and veg and eats a lot of both but I want to make sure she’s getting a good mix of carbs/fibre/calcium and a mix of everything. My problem is she eats whatever I do but I only eat beef I don’t eat meat often so probably not getting her to eat as much as she should. H...
i’m so close to ending things! it’s not just one of those things you say in an argument to hurt the other person, when we through around the word divorce we’re starting to really mean it. i’ve heard about the four horsemen of relationships and how it can be a predictor of how long a marriage will last.. well i thin...
Posting this more for reassurance and or advice Me and my partner have been hit with a lot of bad luck trying to move into a bigger space (currently living in a studio apartment).

Like that’s exactly what I’m doing…
I have a very goofy and loving husband and a beautiful healthy 18mo girl. We live with my BIL because he has a dystrophy that affects his muscles and cognitive abilities.
