Yesterday evening I went out to go to the pharmacy and left my toddler and husband home alone. I stayed out around 20 minutes. When I came back home my husband told me that our child cried the entire time because he wanted me, he didn't finish his dinner and husband was very annoyed. At first I was very supportive ...

So my husband found out his dad has stage 3 cancer. His dad doesn’t have a support system or family other than my husband so my husband decided he needed to go to see his dad (he leaves in another state) and take care of him during treatment.

Ladies, it’s 4:44 am and I’m just so upset with my husband right now. I had a friend over for dinner and all of a sudden I was not feeling well, not sure if it’s food poisoning or gastro. I’m very rarely sick and ended up throwing up for hours. He’s a very supportive husband and I asked him to take over the night ...

I had my first baby at 18. It was a breeze. We had issues but it was not exhausting. Second baby at 24 and being pregnant was hard. I didn't get to experience life with him because he was still born. Next child was born when I was 25. I was so worried she wouldn't make it but I was exhausted I also worked 50+ ...

Hi ladies… I just had my baby boy at 32 weeks exactly on the 13th of April and he’s currently in the nicu. I feel hopeless and like the worst mother in the world as I can’t be with him 24/7 and I honestly am so scared that something will happen when I’m not there and he needs me. I’m also trying to breast pump to...

What’s the best childcare for your little one cost wise. We both work full time. No help from family. £900 per month for childcare and was wondering what the best funding help there is.

I’m doing a combination of traditional and baby led weaning. We’ve tried plain porridge, flavoured porridge, weetabix,...

My little one has shown some moderate delays. We're in a program called babies can't wait and she's advancing well. However, one of the things she struggles with is using utensils. I've tried everything I know to do. She gets impatient, throws the spoon or fork and uses her hands. Usually won't even try. My mom said...
