Parenting

My fiancé really keeps saying if I don’t want to continue to be overstimulated and doing everything for the baby by myself I should put her up for adoption. Let’s not even take into account I have 3 children from my previous marriage that I have been raising on my own. Our child together is his first biological chil...

Looking for some advice from other new mummas.. I had baby a week ago today via c section and was completely surprised when I was in the recovery room and my partner advised me his dad was waiting outside in the car park, desperate to come in. He was asking to come in before we had even been given the clear from r...

I know that there is a lot of things that Boomer parents did wrong and millennials want to fix it and parent differently but I still feel like there is an element of "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I was talking to my boss who is a new grandma and she was saying how strange it finds it that parents these days s...

There is a childminder I come across often when running errands. I find her in the supermarket, shopping mall, having a coffee with friends, all these while minding the children. She is usually with 2-3 children at a time and always in the stroller. Somehow it doesn't sit well. I would prefer it if my children were...

Hey mamas…I have a question about what dads or partners are doing to help you out with baby? My husband is an amazing dad but thinks I’m asking too much of him! Maybe I am so just wanted to see what other people are doing. TIA🙏

My LO is 2 months now and only seems to be super fussy and unhappy when I'm alone with him. My husband went back to work at 3 weeks so it's been primarily me taking care of my LO day and night. I'm very fortunate that my family is around often so one of them often joins me in taking care of him. The problem is, wh...

I’m a SAHM with no maternity leave, my husband is in charge of all expenses right now but I always have to ask him to transfer money to the joint account so I can spend on groceries, food or baby stuff. It’s annoying that he doesnt do it himself so I can be comfortable with spending and taking care of our baby. I...

My fiancé and I haven’t been on the best of terms lately because he cheated and I knew about it dropped hints that I knew then 6 months later I asked about the situation and he lied then I gave proof and he tried to downplay it like it was old so it shouldn’t matter am I overreacting for feeling some type of way and...

I am honestly at breaking point with my partner at the moment, he literally does nothing to help me out when it comes to our daughter or even around the house, I have to basically beg him to do anything and even then he acts like it’s a chore or deliberately does something else as he knows I’ll just say forget it an...

We're not having a great time with our little one at nursery - it's been three weeks now and she is still v upset when she's there, not eating/drinking and I've had to pick her up early every time so far. She goes three days a week. Just wondered if anyone else has had this or going through it. Everyone is telling m...

Not child related, but I’m in desperate need of a new vacuum cleaner. Can anyone recommend a good one?

I want to be clear, this is not to bash my husband and is not weaponized incompetence, he’s just a human with ADHD. I just can’t 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ in front of him because it feels mean. Today is our 5yo’s birthday and my husband posted a happy birthday message on social media with a reel of pictures…

So my toddler is about to be 3 next month and she is in an imaginative stage. I’m a SAHM and she wants to pretend play and because I’m so exhausted all the time (and honestly depressed af) I cannot work up the energy to be imaginative. I do take the time out but it’s really hard and I mostly say I can’t rn. Every ti...
