Hey Mums!! My 5month old boy has just started teething like crazy, and honestly, I think I’ve gone partially deaf from all the fussing he does when he’s trying to bite on something (I’m joking but sometimes it feels like that 😭). He has SO MANY teething toys that work great, but he really struggles to hold them…

Hey mummas, tomorrow is my 20 week scan. My partner gets all scans off work so he is taking me. The hospital is in the city so a 40 min drive or 2 buses and roughly 2 hours (without road works) Yesterday i asked the plan after the scan as they get booked in early (between 8-8:30) and his work usually give him off un...

context- i’m a sahm, he works. i have a 7 year old and we share a 2 year old. i do have my own small income on the side plus child support from my 7 years old dad. i pay for all the children’s stuff unless they’re literally out of something and im broke. i get fs so he pays absolutely nothing out of pocket for food,...

I’m sorry girls but this is a total rant this morning.. my little one is currently going through sleep regression so I’m shattered My husband is great (round the house) but useless with baby and doesn’t get it 🤣 We went out on Sunday, he went to the shops while I got my self and baby ready.. dressed, fed, the…

So today I was changing our 18m old diaper and he bent down to play with her and she was waving her arms, I don’t exactly know what happened because I was focused on wiping her, but he like tapped her arm to say no and I was like “hey- don’t do that” and he went off the fucking rails. And went into like a 5-10m rant...

Going back to work soon and thinking about using a childminder instead of full time nursery. What are some things you look for in a childminder? ALSO I receive UC will they help towards the childcare costs for a childminder rather than nursery?

Does anyone have any experiences good or bad at jubilee nursery in Padworth? Looking at sending my son for first time when he will be 19 months old.

The midwife told me that Charlie’s ready for solids like pieces toast, pasta, banana etc! 😳 anyone else tried solids?? And if so what foods have you tried? x

Any one else's little one really angry about using the potty/toilet? She is ready to do it but it's a flat out refusal most days. I don't know what to do to combat it, or just put her in pants and deal with the rage.

Weaning has gone so well but i struggle with how to cook and serve meat. I do have the solid starts app but when I follow the advice on there my chicken is just so dry and is like the only thing my baby won’t eat. All advice and recipes welcome.

At what age roughly would you say your child can come out of the highchair and sit on a chair to eat at the table with you? Or what steps could be done to help this happen?

My husband came home feeling very sick. While I understand that he is not feeling good, it's how he acts that iratating. He literally walked through the door and had me help him take his backpack off (he rides a motorcycle to work sometimes and takes the bag for his helmet). Once he gets his jacket and everything h...

My kids are teens. I’m having an issue with them and food. They are making me feel like shit. I make them a hot breakfast every day before school. They get lunch. Come home and have snack. Then I make dinner. Then they usually get another snack before bed. Either after dinner or their after school snack they want a ...

Where to put what? Wall 4 has a closet (behind the door), and nothing going on wall 3 as it’s the window but I wanted to differentiate wall 2&3.

I need advice, my husband and I agreed that we would only have two kids. We shook on it and said ok. But ever since I had my second child, I have felt a STRONG sense of someone is missing, like we are supposed to have another one. And I don’t know if that is because I have two sons and would love a daughter or if i...

Sorry for the long post Me and my bd have been together a little over a year. My twins were an accident and honestly a blessing. I love him but I’m getting to the point that I’m unhappy. It’s so many factors as to why. He’s told me I’ve let myself go but he never takes care of the twins long enough for me to do anyt...

I had gone to a wedding and met my husband's extended family. His cousin was getting married, I have been with him for quite some time and married for 3 years now. At this wedding I was one of two POC and the other person was a friend of the groom (his cousin). His wife's family was making backhanded complements a...

So I’ve been in my SD (10) life since she was 1 yo. In the beginning the BM was so so petty. Like calling cops on us to come get our SD (3) bc we didn’t feel she was safe around her then-boyfriend (who was also on the phone yelling at my SO always trying to fight him over stuff she started, and who eventually DID tu...

Maybe i don’t show him how much i appreciate him either. I see how some men speak so highly of their wives like she’s amazing shes gone through so much given me babies. I’ve gone through 3 pregnancies, 3 scary c sections, a miscarriage. I stay home with them and one is special needs and im not feeling well right now...

Hi mamas, How would you guys feel if your husband works 14 hours a day and wants to work even more, while you’re home with the baby every day alone? How would you approach the conversation about not wanting him to work more hours in a polite manner without making him feel like he’s being restricted?
