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...

I don’t know how to say this but I’ve been waiting to see if my partner would throw the trash away without me saying anything. He’s the one that throws it away, I clean, take care of out daughter, sometimes work. (Idk how to cook🥲) so isn’t common sense to throw it away? He comes home and I know he see it and…

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...

so hi! i gave birth february 5th 2023 this year, and since he was 3 months old he’s been on hungrier milk (was recommended from health visitor due to how hungry he was and was constantly crying for another bottle no matter how much i tried to soothe him) but now i find hes not even feeling full from bottles, hes cry...

So my in-laws ask me a question regarding something, and then I give them a detailed answer and just get the reply oh okay? Or sometimes they wouldn’t answer the question that I asked them, they basically ignore it and talk about something else

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 ...

How long can baby sleep in car seat for ? He’s literally fallen asleep i dont wana disturb his sleep

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? ...

I posted a couple of weeks ago about how I haven’t seen or spoken to my parents in about 9/10 weeks as I’m fed up of being the first one to always make the effort to see them or message. I tried to communicate with them in a polite way about how they have made me feel not being involved etc….. All I got back was ‘if...

Hi everyone I'm desperately looking for a baby sitter. I can only afford £5 to £6 per hour. Does anyone know of anybody that can help? I'm in the Handsworth area xx

My room is 24 degrees at night what shall i put my baby in ??? What are you guys putting ur babies

I don’t even know where to start with my in-laws but I figure at least people in here can relate. Here’s a list of a few of the fucked things they’ve done since my son arrived. -called him a bastard -refused a playpen we bought for their house cos apparently it’s offensive to them -get angry that bub doesn’t lik...

Hey, Me and my partner never argue, only rarely bicker. We get along like a house on fire. But since the baby has been born I’ve been so scared about people being near my son, especially kids. My partner has a daughter already and she comes on the weekends and plays with the girl across the road. I’ve asked my bo...

Is it bad that I've put Bluey on the TV for 10 mins to keep the 4month old occupied 👀🙃

What do you guys do about the tv being on during the day and your baby being fascinated by it? Do you keep it off? Do you face your baby away? Do you let them watch? Just unsure and wondering how everyone else is with it! Thanks x

Anyone else partner finds any excuse not to have to look after the baby? Like they love playing with them and cuddling but actually caring like bottle feeding etc they say ‘can you do it this time because I need to go do…’ etc 😩😩😩 So annoying! I feel like I never get a proper rest

Hey everyone! Now the weather is getting hot what are you all doing with your babies? My little girl is 4 months old and we were thinking of going to the park for a picnic (obviously sitting in the shade), we have the little pop up SPF 50 tent for her to sit in, or do you think it’s best to just keep them indoors? ...
