Am I asking too much of my husband ?

I'm a FTM to 3 month old twins. Unttil now me and my husband have shared nearly all aspects of caring for them (feeding, changing, housework, everything), so I know I'm extremely lucky. However, all of the invisible labour of reading up and planning how we care for them, create routines, look out for milestones etc,...

What have our babies been eating?

Just for fun. What have our babies been eating today. Today my baby refused his food for his morning feed. But he maybe made up for it at his afternoon feed 😂😮 (see 1st comment for the aftermath) On the menu we had tomato pasta, apples, Greek yogurt, biscotti biscuit and cucumber sticks.

Am I being selfish?

My other half works between 8.30am and 5.30pm, he comes home and has a cuddle with our 6 month old for all of 5 mins and then says he's going on his game for an hour. I have our son all day everyday (pretty much so everything for him at a weekend too, i absolutely adore our son) and never does he ask me if I want a...

Lost my temper :(

Ladies, I need advice. I lost my temper at my 3yo earlier today. He wouldn’t listen or stay in his room at quiet (nap) time, and then he knocked over a lamp and a fan, and half-flooded the bathroom and I lost it. Partially because I was tired and partially because he never does that. My husband is definitely the str...

Vent Session

I feel like SAHM’s that are somewhat dependent on their partner or completely dependent on their partner get put in a tough position. Having a partner that acknowledges and appreciates everything you do is a SAHM is a blessing but having a partner that acts like everything you’re doing is easy hurts. I had no choice...
