Parenting

Right girls, I need help. I think I’m going stir crazy. I need ideas of hobbies, I don’t drive and I’m honestly getting bored on maternity leave, as much as I have a 10 week old that doesn’t leave my side, I’m bored of watching shit on Netflix, Disney and now tv🤣 I’m bored of constantly doing clothes washing,…

I work 40 hours a week, take care of a 2 - and 3 year old. In college full time. And I'm the breadwinner. My mil took the kids out for the day. And I wanna relax it's my only day off, and this man who doesn't work said why are you being so lazy today. Oh, I forgot to mention it's finals week for the semester.

I’m happily married now with two amazing children. Sometimes I look back on my first relationship ( it was so abusive ) and wonder what life could have been like if he wasn’t like that

Just need a rant! My MIL is so stubborn and thinks she knows best about everything, months ago I tried to give her some ideas that my 2 year old would like for Christmas, she shot me down saying “I think I know my own grandson” she doesn’t as she never shows any interest in things he likes and just tries to get him ...

Mil disrespects me as a mother and a wife, she makes comments implying I can’t be trusted or that I sleep around, she makes fun of how I speak and how my family does things and where I’m from, she talks badly about me through my child, gives my child candy/sweets/junk after I ask her not to/I say no. (Husband also s...

God it’s so overwhelming😭I had a section and my partner goes back to work after Christmas not sure how I will cope.. any advice pleaseeee

My 17 month old and I were at a school Christmas fair today which has a play area out the back, I took him out there to play and there was one little boy, I’d say maybe 3/4 who seemed to decide he didn’t like my son. He put his arms out to stop him coming up on this wooden play thing so I said to him “it’s okay he c...

Me and my babies dad have split up and my little boy is 10 weeks old. He wants to start having him over night at his place, (every other weekend, Fri/sat night) which I understand he needs to have a relationship and be with his dad and I’m glad he wants to now step up. My question is has anyone else been through t...

So, my partner works full time Monday to Friday - I do the nights Sun to Thurs normally and he does Friday and Saturday, recently he’s just not been interested and if I say I’m tired or whatever it’s “you get paid to stay at home.” I don’t think he pulls his weight at all and I know he’s in work all day but surely h...

My husband and I went out for a couple of hours as a little date day for ourselves. We left our 3 month old with my mother in law who messaged to say she was crying so she gave her Calpol because she was crying. What the hell?! I feel like she should have asked first as we don't just give it to her willy nilly. Such...

How do you deal with the following situation: A relative decided to change my baby today even though I said she doesn’t need changing and was changed just an hour ago. She went ahead and changed her diaper anyway and it was tiny like barely peed in. This same relative also has a habit of giving patronising advice...

My partner has to work away through the week the majority of the time and then comes home at weekends. He wants us to move closer to where he works (he owns the business, bought before we met) so that he can see the kids more and be a dad but moving away from where we are now means I’ll be completely isolated with n...

I’m honestly sick of it I give her a chance before putting her into time out. I don’t know what to do with her anymore she’s triggering me every day we can’t do anything fun cause she ruins it.

So for context my blood family has always been very loose with what we consider "family". I have several aunts and uncles who aren't related to me in any way and are simply my parents' close friends that I call auntie or uncle. My mother also has a few sisters that we don't consider My aunts because they distanced t...

So I left my husband 8 months ago. The relationship became unhealthy and he put us in a terrible living situation (me and my 1 year old). His family took me in so I relocated back to the state we had literally just moved from 7-8 months prior. I’m still living with them because they help so much with my son but now ...

So recently we got kicked out of our apartment because our landlord's a POS it's a long story. But long story short we're currently living in a motel it's a one room one bathroom my kids are four three and one my four year old keeps saying this is our just for now new home which I mean he's not wrong they seem to be...
