I'm a FTM to 3 month old twins. Unttil now me and my husband have shared nearly all aspects of caring for them (feeding, changing, housework, everything), so I know I'm extremely lucky. However, all of the invisible labour of reading up and planning how we care for them, create routines, look out for milestones etc,...

As I watch the gps tracker I've placed in the car go further and further (Now 3 cities over) I can't help but laugh when I call and he says he left work to go get food 😆 And how he'll be working late 🙃 Can't wait to see where he ends up! 👀 ..Yes, The fact I had to put a tracker in the car already proves I don't…

Ladies, I need advice. I lost my temper at my 3yo earlier today. He wouldn’t listen or stay in his room at quiet (nap) time, and then he knocked over a lamp and a fan, and half-flooded the bathroom and I lost it. Partially because I was tired and partially because he never does that. My husband is definitely the str...

Hey everyone. Need to vent/advice. I've just caught my husband cheating for just short of 18 months. I'm his second wife (if that matters) and have just had my first baby, his 6th 11 weeks ago and he's been trying for another with me and I'm just so angry. I'm just seeing red and want to cry but don't want him to kn...

Now I'm far from crazy. Each day my fiance leaves soon as he wakes up. Says he needs air(we have an air conditioner) or says he needs a cigarette any excuse to leave. Also refuses to take a phone one is off the other fully functional. Yet I ask what's wrong or do you need to vent we can go somewhere. I get I'm fine ...

I feel like SAHM’s that are somewhat dependent on their partner or completely dependent on their partner get put in a tough position. Having a partner that acknowledges and appreciates everything you do is a SAHM is a blessing but having a partner that acts like everything you’re doing is easy hurts. I had no choice...

My husband is going on a 2 week overseas business trip just him and a female colleauge. I have seen messages from her in the past which I haven’t been happy with like asking him to take her into work all the time and things like that. We all work at the same place and she doesn’t talk to me even though we worked in ...

How would you feel if you found out you husband bought cigarettes for a coworker after he had just promised to stop smoking cigarettes? So I went through my husband’s laptop and noticed his coworker had asked if he had fags and he said no and he asked if she did and she said no, then he asked her to meet him up in ...

I have been under a lot of pressure due to going back to work and looking after a toddler and also juggling house work, cooking, cleaning, errands etc. Husband helps but does the bare minimum. I have a lot of mental load right now. I'm finding that whenever people try to talk to me i just zone out. Like my husband...

How would you deal with family who show little interest in your little one? Basically all of my in laws show little interest in my daughter to the point where they arrange family days with their kids out and exclude us and my husband (their son/brother) then post about how nice it is to have everyone together 🙄 it…

He left me with all the debts . Plus I have my car payment another $600 he was paying but he is not anymore , he drove my car and so...

My little one is 4 months old and over the last 2 weeks or so he’s been just nonstop crying and screaming. Like I mean it when I say he screams all the time unless he’s sleeping, nursing, or occasionally in his dad’s arms. This has made nursing and bedtime/naps especially hard because of how bad his screaming gets. ...

Does anyone else really suck at not being influenced (particularly tiktok shop) I've bought a lot of stuff. And granted, it's all really nice and cute and whatnot.... But sometimes I feel bad because I'm not adding financially but at the same time I'm saving hubby SO MUCH MONEY. otherwise he'd be paying for childcar...

I’m literally sat sobbing about him being 6 months tomorrow I honestly don’t know why I’m like this. I had a baby I know they grow they get older and they change and become their own person but it’s really upsetting me 😢 is anyone else like this? Has anyone got older children does this wear off at any point? Does…

I am just wondering how much help everyone is getting at home/ what is the fair load of looking after a baby. My partner works full time and says he’s too tired to help with looking after our child when he gets home as his job is physically demanding.

My family went to a concert for my brothers birthday and my mom found out today she has Covid so they invited my husband to take her spot. Is it wrong of me to sit at home absolutely sad that I wasn’t even included to begin with? And now have to sit at home alone all night.

A little backstory is needed first. My mother-in-law and I have a catering business. We have a catering Saturday night. My husband has only watched our six month old daughter once. He said it was the scariest thing he had ever done. he is supposed to watch her Saturday night while we go work but is now wanting to ta...

Tonight they been really not ok and have been running about my...

My other half works between 8.30am and 5.30pm, he comes home and has a cuddle with our 6 month old for all of 5 mins and then says he's going on his game for an hour. I have our son all day everyday (pretty much so everything for him at a weekend too, i absolutely adore our son) and never does he ask me if I want a...
