Partner constantly pestering me

I'm just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat. I'm exclusively breastfeeding and I have no desire to do anything sexual. I'm exhausted and always busy with baby. And I honestly just don't want to. My partner has been very patient with me but now he's constantly asking me to do stuff. It's so frustrating and ...

Hubbys sister telling family to be careful of me

My SIL has blown hot and cold with me for years. I used to think I’ve done something but turns out she has friends and can’t keep them long and realised she has a very narcissistic personality. I’m a naive people pleaser who has now learnt to stop being like that (sometimes!!) so I allowed all this bad behaviour ...

Family problem

But I had an accident and our baby was born premature at 22 weeks! So is it wrong to not tell them yet still? I want to tell my parents at least; but my husband is super hes...

My boyfriend and his games

My partner and I have been together for 2.5 years and I still feel like his phone and games mean more to him than his daughter and I. He won't get off of his phone to help me either if it's dinner time or even just to play with our daughter. I hate it. I hate it so much and every time I complain, he says we'll chang...

How to stop my 1 & 3 year old from running away while out?

My one year old and three year old are both very stubborn and independent. My three year old use to like to run away a lot while out at stores or the mall(thanks to dada for chasing her around whenever we were out). Shes calm down a lot but will still do it once in while. I feel guilty because she will ask me if I’m...
