After 10 years, I never thought my bf would break up with me over an electricity bill argument. He is the one paying everything for our 2b apartment. We were laughing while showing and was having a great time. When we went to bed, I asked how he was doing with bills. Keep in mind that he talks about the electric bi...

We had our second baby 3 months ago now and yet my partner’s parents haven’t seen her or even asked about her since my partner sent a picture on the day of her birth. About 2 months ago she did message my mother saying she doesn’t get to see our eldest much and assumes it’s because they don’t have a lot of money. ...

I haven't had a proper shower since coming home from the hospital and rinsing off on Monday. I've been running around all week. Driving an hour to appointments and back. Cleaning up around the house. I haven't even had a chance to get groceries yet. My husband said that he would take out son (2.5 yo) to daycare afte...

Genuinely asking because I’m at a point where I need to know if I’m overreacting over this. Sorry for the long post! I woke up early this morning, and once baby was up I played with him, changed him, fed him, but after a while I decided I needed to clean our shared room and put my son in his bouncer in the living ...

So MIL lives 2 h sometimes 2.5 hours away and first few days it’s great I like she hangs out with the kid and reads and whatever. She also will try to help washing dishes sometimes but doesn’t cook or can really watch the kid alone and can’t pick him up etc so it’s not your typical grandparent that you can leave wit...

My daughters does dress as a book character but also the option to come in pyjamas, yet it seems more and more schools are moving away from costumes because of the stress and cost to parents.

When your LO are with their grandparents do the grandparents play with them and do activities with them? Mine just expect them to sit and watch TV or play by themselves. Sometimes it is more exhausting taking them to see grandparents....

My MIL and SILs are really difficult to deal with. My SILs are not married and are much older than us. My LO is the only grandchild in the family. They don’t really have any life apart from each other and are so intense with my little one. They push me out of everything and take away really special moments and mak...

I’m setting up a school station for my 2 yr old in the garage. I want it to be like a classroom setting. Simple yet cute and fun. Obviously I want to focus on target for his age because he’s going to just be turning 2 in April.

My child is four months. How do I enforce the no kissing rule with grandparents who don’t seem to be taking it seriously. I’m a first time mom and anxious around the idea of my baby getting sick.

So this will be my first Mother’s Day at the end of the month (lo is 10 weeks). I’m so excited to spend it with baby and partner doing something nice for the day. I am assuming my MIL (who I have a tumultuous relationship with due to a number of things including descending on me in hospital an hour after baby was b...

What is everyone giving their baby for their first food?

Whenever my baby Is awake he just cries and seems so unhappy. He has about 10 min being content then all he'll breaks loose. Am I alone?

Do you let your kids play Roblox? What ages? Why or why not? My 8 year old is asking about it and idk about it.

So recently I’ve seen lots of tiktoks etc about no screen time etc for babies and have even had friends talk about negative effects etc. and now I’m feeling guilty. My 11 month old has a couple of programmes he actually ‘watches’ such as teletubbies and in the night garden but I will admit I do have CBeebies on a lo...

My husband has a nasty habit of picking his toenails. (I am not gonna lie I bite my nails, BUT I THROW THEM IN THE TRASH!!!!!). So he throws them where he is sitting. The floor, the living room couch, the bed, the bathroom, anywhere in my house you will find them. I have asked him over and over to stop he won’t. I h...

My little boy has started wanting to poop in private. Has anyone’s started doing this? Have you started potty training?

Anyone else get or got super excited about weaning? Everyday I been writing in a note book different foods and meals that we are going to make our son since he was 4 months old. I don’t even care about the extra work etc because cooking for our son separate meals excites me 😊 anyone else feels or felt this way? He…
