My son is constantly like this when it comes to food. Whether it's finger food or spoon fed... this kid refuses to eat!!

Sorry for long post So I need to rant which isn’t usually like me however it’s getting ridiculous and I want to know I’m not the only one going through it. My partner is constantly on his phone, ignores my LO even when she brings him a book or toy, I tell him to just watch her whilst I do something (for example pu...

All HELL broke loose. He gets up cussing me out. Telling me if he were Johnny depp or some dead ex of mine I’d be all for it.

So my MIL was up yesterday after months of previously her not coming up… My daughter turned around and went “who’s that” I did correct her and say gran because she doesn’t see her as such or she would have said. Whenever my MIL was saying gran or granny to her my daughter was just giving her a blank look to be fair ...

So my partner and I have a 4 week baby, I also have a 3 yr old from a previous relationship. Since Friday he has been out 3 nights not home till after 11. Texted me this afternoon saying he was out tonight. Am I wrong to be annoyed? Feel like I’m here looking after the kids and he’s just out with his friends. I’m al...

My husbands sister and I don’t talk at all, this is from years of disrespect and bullying. But when we are at family functions, she starts interacting with my kids (one Inc a 3 month old) when I’m on the other side of the room etc. So how can I address this with her? I only see her at family functions. How do I go...

Just...in general bit of a whinge. The whole system seems ridiculous. Only want to send her 2 days a week, but now I'm having to work extra days to pay for her to go and roped in (very luckily, grandparents) to help. I'm working just to send her, when I'd rather just be at home with her myself as I do quite lik...

Are you LOs actually swallowing much food? My LO is playing loads and learning but the actual amount she eats is minimal. For example, she’ll suck on toast strips for a bit and then throw on the floor - so she hasn’t really eaten anything I know food before one is just for fun etc, just interested how much other ...

So I'm having a really hard time not getting super irritated and frustrated at my husband and step daughter even. I'm almost 2 weeks post partum. It feels like I'm doing almost everything by myself. I'm doing the dishes, laundry, picking up all the garbage they leave around on the counter and throughout the house....

So my child's pre-school closes at 3pm. I've never been late, and I know for a fact I was standing in the line around 2:55pm. This is my daughters third week at school (she's goes in 3 days a week). She's never been upset during drop-off or pick-up time, even on her first day. Today I went to pick her up and I coul...

Basically, I have spoke to him several times about having another baby, no pressure on it. But it frustrates me that he blows hot and cold about it, one minute he's like "I wonder what our oldest would be like as a bro" "anything can happen in life, lifes too short not to", Saying baby names he likes and asking if I...

So I’m currently pregnant due end of December. I have a soon to be 2 year old in October. My partner has a great job and recently had a pay rise. We’re thinking about putting our daughter in for 2/3 days a week so I can get the house sorted for our new arrival but I feel so bad😢 I have the choice for times. 7:30…

Where do people find info for baby classes and groups? I can’t seem to find any online, or they’re just extortionate prices? Any in West London???

Omg I'm soooo irritated ! So my fiance works graveyard so he's asleep most of the day & I have 3 boys ages 3,2, & 10 months ... && I'm 17 weeks pregnant 🥱🥱😮‍💨 sooo when it's time for the older two to take their naps I usually get tired as well , but that's when the 10 month old wakes up from his nap & wants to get…

Hello, 1 week into potty training we’ve averaged at 2 accidents a day. Taken my daughter out today and she’s had an accident. She’s both weed and pooed in her knickers. She’s yet to have a poo on the potty just feeling a bit exhausted by the whole process. Feel like I’ve spent the whole week on wee watch. Is she jus...

Helloo! My nearly 8 month old is super picky with savoury puree foods, at breakfast she likes the fruit puree, trouble is they’re aimed at 4+ months is she still okay to have these or should I stop buying them and persist with the thicker purées and savoury? 🤔 Thanks!

Tell me why my partner invites his sister to come see our baby during his nap, when he’s been so colic that it takes a lot of effort to put him down. I just got off my phone appointment with my therapist and have yet to get dressed. I’m recovering from a cold and on my heaviest day of my period! The bathroom is a me...

i need to rant! so my husband is in the air force and three years ago we moved across the country. since then we’ve had a baby and friends and family have come down to meet him. i made it very clear i was not traveling with the baby for the first at least year of his life. now with our babies being/almost being six ...
