Hi everyone, I’m not quite sure if this is the right place to post this but I don’t know who to talk to. I’m just really really struggling. I have been for a long time but it seems like I forget about how bad I feel for a week or so and then it just hits me how bad I’m doing mentally and I feel like I’m suffocating ...

Just need to vent. I want to be happy but I just feel like my light is dimming more and more and idk how to fix it.

This baby will be my second. I have a boy from a previous relationship. My current boyfriend already has 2 daughters so I will be going from 1 to 4 in a snap of a finger. I’m nervous.

When did you everyone start potty training?!? I’m unsure when I should even start, I have a 17 month old boy 💙 What is your favourite potty for at home and your favourite travel potty?

I’m currently 39+1 pregnant & in all honesty I’m not a fan of mothers day to due my own grief of not having my mother in my life, and i’d like to think thats pretty understandable.

So, summer is coming and I wanted to get some ideas on how you all schedule things. I've never done a "summer schedule", but my girls are going into 2nd and 3rd grade, plus I have twin 11 months old babies. I feel like I'm going to go crazy with the girls running around, being bored and having too much screen time. ...

How do you get over resentment towards a husband? Whenever I remember certain things he’s done I just feel like my chest close up and I start to tear up. I am finding it really hard to move from it especially because it’s broke the trust too so now I doubt him and can’t trust his decision making. I regret trusti...

So I’m trying to find a job that works for the family. I’ve been in health care and manufacturing jobs. My 4 year old is going to school but I still have a 3 year old who can’t go to school until next year.

I'm seeing alota posts about Mamas getting quite disappointed with how they've been treated from their SO on mothers day. And I can totally relate. I went to bed crying last night. Nothing major, just hit me like a ton of bricks, how unappreciated and invisible i feel with my husband. He is a good man, amazing fathe...

Is it right to judge my bf on his choice in music? He loves rap music that degrades women and has every cuss word you can think of. Now I’m ngl I used to listen to the same shit before I had our daughter. But now he listens to this degrading music that objectifies women and I feel some type of way about it bc I’ve c...

Hi all. Our pediatrician just cleared us to start introducing baby cereal/rice to our baby. Does anyone have any brands they recommend. HiPP seems like a good brand, but am open to suggestions.

So, I live with my son, my disabled mum and my older brother. My son’s dad comes over every weekend he can due to him being in the army. Me and my mum get on like a house on fire, and she’s as reliant on me as I am on her. The issue is my brother. A few nights ago, my 11 month old was quite poorly with a cold and ...

My boys daycare closed January. It was an in hime daycare and the teacher had a medical emergency. My mother came out for a whole month, she lives in Missouri, so she could watch him for me.

I have this friend let’s call her A who I have been friends with for the past year. We hang out a lot. I see her at least once a week.

So I’m not sure whether I am overreacting. Yesterday was Mother’s Day, I have two kids (5yo and 2yo) I have never been celebrated on Mother’s Day, my husband tends to either forget or just doesn’t bother. This year I thought ‘the kids are old enough to participate now I should put effort in’ (especially because my e...

Can your autistic toddler focus on screens for any amount of time? Mine is so active, he won't use the tablet for more than 10 minutes, then it's back to moving.

My best friend and I are both anti vax with our babies and also e...
