Parenting

Without giving numbers: I buy whatever I want when I want it in terms of day to day. Like if I want the fancy caramel barista milk or something I don’t think twice I just get it. Like thinking about potty training I’ll go on Amazon and get a bunch of books for my toddler and a nice potty and step stool and small to...

We were married for over 13 years told that could have babies and ended up miraculously pregnant with the sweetest baby boy 2years ago. Now, tonight, I found out I was pregnant (not actively trying, and took plan B after oops). My husband seemed immediately distraught. His logic for not keeping it being that we woul...

So I have one of each, a year apart. I never grew up around boys and always pictured myself as a girly girl Mom. So let me tell you, having an almost 4yro boy has brought parts of me out that I didn't even know existed 🙄🫣😳 Forget the not listening, it's what I find myself doing to make him "get it" when all else…

My Mom has let things slip here and there, and tonight she said whether he's your Dad's child or not doesn't matter. She's basically admitting he might not be. I'm going to put my Dad's ashes to rest and It's weird when I know my sister's on my Dad side don't believe he's their brother. I told her she can talk about...

Urh here to rant.. we have a 3 week old. My partner has completely gone and disregarded everything I’ve said. I said I wasn’t ready to have a full day and night with the baby yet, not coz I can’t do it (I most defo can) I’m just adapting. Anyway he’s been out all day oh and all night. Got drunk and cannot drive ho...

I’ve been with my partner 9 years nearly. And he’s always had bouts of insecurity. And I’ve always been forced to defend myself. It upsets me everytime because there’s no trust there in my opinion but he says he gets inside his own head and over thinks which he does about a lot of things. Now this hasn’t happened ...

I know the title sounds harsh, but my son is 4 months old and I’m really struggling to enjoy motherhood. It feels like it’s all bad and never any good. I can’t wait to go back to work so I can enjoy being with him more. Is something wrong with me? 😞 I absolutely love my son and would never change anything I’m just…

i’ve never went through my fiancés phone during our relationship. but i’ve started to notice that he takes it with him everywhere… in the bathroom when he showers, if he’s in the kitchen cooking, when he gets out to pump gas, even when he’s going to pee he puts in his pocket. pretty much he will not leave it unatten...

I am wanting to go back to school. A loan would be required and payments would start 6 months after graduation. My husband is not supportive of me wanting to go back to school. He is pushing me to just a job at this time. My feelings are hurt because I want this for myself and believe with this degree I would have m...

I have a nearly 3 year old and I'm struggling. I would say I am struggling more now than I did when he was born and I had severe post natal depression. Since he was born I have been diagnosed with ADHD and PMDD. I'm currently under gynecology for the PMDD but not really getting anywhere, I tried some injections but ...

My 2 year old isn’t very affectionate, she usually only likes to cuddle or kiss me or my husband but when she feels like it she will give hugs and kisses to family members. We never had to have the conversation of “ don’t force her if sending want to” With my side of the family and most of my husbands because she ob...

My daughter is 2 years 4 months and recently at the minute she’s just changed! She is so clingy to me but could be because I’m pregnant? But everything is “don’t want nursery” “don’t want hair done” “don’t want bed” she use to love going to nursery no problem and now she screams everytime she has to go, I’ve just dr...

LO is currently in nursery four days per week. I would say he’s a ‘typical toddler’ and has always been extremely active. Nursery have had problems with his behaviour since August - he doesn’t listen, shouts, runs inside, throws things etc I have had many meetings and they are basically saying they are potentially...

I have a 3 year old and 10 week old. My partner is going on & on & on about how we have no intimacy in our relationship right now & I don’t know what to do I’m breastfeeding so I’m constantly touched out and s£x is last thing on my mind I’ve explaineded all this to him but he’s still moaning there’s a lack of sexua...

My husband is a chef, so he makes a lot of stuff at home like practicing recipes or preparing foods. It’s a lot of in season stuff, so a lot of it during the winter is onion and garlic. So when he is cooking and preparing stuff, the house reeks of onion and garlic. My clothes smell like it no matter how much I wash ...
