Had a lady (mid 20s) from our gym childwatch say she was interested in babysitting! I was very excited! We tried her out tonight and it was such a bummer! We were gone 2.5 hours. She FaceTimed me 2 times and texted me 10 times!!! And then the real problem. She did not give my toddler dinner. I sat it all out and ...

So long story but my partner has a problem with gambling - I confronted him today as I didn’t believe he had stopped and worried it may still be going on. He admitted it is and that the last time was last week. Obviously I didn’t believe him as there’s just no trust there any more so looked at his search history for...

My husband and I are having our first baby and we just want to know roughly what people spent/put aside for having a kid?

What started as a thought of “let me empty the dishwasher and reload it” at 11 am - ended up in emptying all my kitchen cabinets to declutter, organise and deep clean. Which then led me to do the same with a huge pantry because it’s all related and everything needed a new home somehow 🤯 I also have an open plan…

do any moms struggle going to their significant other’s family house? I tend to not want to go because he has a very big family and all they want to do is carry my baby. i don’t have much of a problem but they tend to pass my baby around too much and i really don’t like that. they see that he gets fussy and tired an...

Ladies when my husband goes out with friends (which is like once or twice a month) i only have 1 rule: come back at the time you say you'll be back. However, every single time i get a text around midnight (or whatever time he told me he'd come back) saying "it is ok if i stay longer?". Ya'll i've been with this man...

So me & the father of my unborn baby got in an argument in regards to him not helping me with buying things we need for the baby (he’s never got me anything) I’m almost due. He works but he says he doesn’t have money and needs to sort out he’s papers to stay in the country but he’s just renewed his papers and he’s g...

I feel like my husband is having a hard time connecting with our daughter. She's our first, I grow irritated often. I feel like I'm doing everything. I just want my husband to experience the same amazing loving feeling that I receive fr9m me daughter

When do I need to make my LO's first dentist appointment? He has a tooth that is starting to try and cut through the gum now

My little one (3 days old) is seemingly still hungry after his 1oz and I was wondering if in the next few days if I should up him. What are the signs to look out for?

Is anyone sending their baby to nursery soon feeling guilty? I watched a small video on social media where an expert is claiming it’s detrimental for the babies to attend nursery before 12 months. They are too young to learn anything from nursery and they don’t need to socialise at this age. I’m feeling dreadful aft...

So since I met my husband he’s been huge into video games like played for 4-6 hours a day. I didn’t mind before we had a baby but since my baby was born I told him he couldn’t be doing that every day- he fought me on this saying that’s how he decompresses relaxes ect. Then he continued to do it we got into so many f...

Just a bit of advice/guidance please. My 6 month old has porridge for breakfast and has pureed food for dinner. He loves his food and I have no worries. Is he too young to start finger foods, and if not, what can I give him? I am absolutely terrified of him choking and planning to book a baby first aid course purely...

My 2 year old is gonna be so 3 years old in March. He weighs 50 pounds , also a picky eater and I shared custody with his dad whom also has bad eating habits. I cook everyday and make healthy foods but he doesn’t like eating it sometimes. Usually prefers a snack and I only give him 3 meals and 2 snacks. But he’ll ge...

If yes, how did it go?

We have a 6 month old son, and I’m currently on a 1 year maternity leave. My husband had 2 weeks paternity when our son was born via C-section and I have been mainly on my own since then. No family as I’m estranged due to childhood abuse from my own family, and his parents has become estranged due to their behavi...

Tonight, I made my 3yo a nice, well-balanced dinner. The moment I placed it on the table in front of her, she explodes into a tantrum because she instead wants oatmeal. I try to get her to eat a little of the food, and I say she can have oatmeal when she eats a little of the food in front of her. More tears and yell...

what activities can be done when you're a single mom, live in apartment with 17 month old, you don't drive and around no parks to go to. Little one yells because capt speak yet just words and is active. Been watching kids shows, but don't to do this the whole day. Goes to playpen then what's to play. Then gets bore...

I'd love to see photos ♡

My baby is 19 months and I still always pick him up and carry him everywhere. He is still in a stroller and the only time I let him walk anywhere independently is if we go to an enclosed play park or if he is at daycare. Am I being too extra. I am honestly afraid he will get picked up by a kidnapper , pick somet...
