So I found out my partner of 8 years is cheating and unlike previous years where I had suspicion I actually had proof this time so when I confronted him he wanted to try to deflect . I told him it was over and we can figure out things with our 4 children . I'm a stay at home mom . I go to classes online and I try bu...
I wondered what opinions are on this. It always strikes me as odd when I see grandparents out with young grandkids. Like where are the parents? My own parents are of the attitude well we did our job, now you have children it's up to you. I just find it odd people have parents that do that, personally.
We recently had our baby in November and before she arrived we got a house together. A house I literally just finished decorating and making it my dream home. Our baby had to be transferred to another hospital. She was there a little while before coming home right before Christmas. Everything was great until she tur...
For context, I’m 36+2 with my first so am definitely feeling ALL the emotions at the moment. I have a great relationship with my MIL and always have. I need to know if my hormones or whatever are making me unreasonable/fussy etc, but I’m unhappy with the things my MIL has bought for us. I know that sounds REALLY u...
Background: FTM who had c section 11 days ago. Long rant!

Does anyone know what the actual rules are surrounding when we take baby home after he’s born? I thought we HAD to carry him out in a car seat? My partner doesn’t like this and is like ‘why can’t I just carry him out in my arms and put him in the car seat in the car?’ I’m not fussed either way I’m just looking for...
Don’t judge me because I already feel horrendous but I slipped on the stairs whilst carrying my 13 week old, I have no idea how. I was only down one step but we both landed on our backs on the carpeted step. She sobbed for a minute like she did when she had her jabs done (which made me cry my eyes out) and then she ...

Im a first time mum and me and my partner both have cars. We’ve already ordered the car seat for baby which will go in my car as I’ll be driving him around the most, but me and my partner was discussing, is it worth getting a second (cheaper, potentially second hand) car seat for the other car when we use that one? ...
