Hi I don't even know what advice I'm looking for, maybe just to vent. My partner has been increasingly horrible to me since we found out I'm pregnant. Screaming at me, using degrading words, nit picking at everything I do. Having a go at me in front of his friend and in front of my daughter. I've been away for week ...

Shes 15, was sneaking out, drinking & smoking. Shes would slam & lock her door & turn up her TV or music as loud as it can go. Even caught her smoking in her room. She would throw & break things in her room & we just got sick of her shit. So we basically took away all her took away her things. She wanted to slam & l...

Hi, I’m 4 weeks postpartum on Monday and I just got into an argument with my husband because he’s super messy. He will take food out of the fridge or the drawers and leave them out for me to put back in, he will leave clothes and stuff on the floor, etc. I have been doing the dishes and stuff and tidying up whenever...

So i’ve never been one to fully limit screen time until my daughter hit 19 months. We went completely cold turkey 4 weeks ago on Sunday on tv (she doesn’t have any other form of screen) because her tantrums were horrific and she wanted her dummy so much more when watching it. We kept it to low stimulating shows etc ...

My son is 10 months and lately whenever he sees me he cries for me. As long as I'm out of sight he's fine but if he hears or sees me he will go off. With my husband and in laws he doesn't get as upset but with me he refuses to be out of my hands. Has anyone else experienced this? I work from home and need to fin...

My husband’s childhood friend moved to our city recently. The friend is a guy, is married and has a baby with his wife. My husband and him talk with each other every week. I have been okay with it because having a new born is hard and it helps to lean on someone. but it has gotten to a point now that he will drop an...

My brother and sister don’t care for him at the moment because he’s too opinionated and apparently the rest of the family thinks he is too. That’s news to me that they all have the same feelings about that. I wish they would’ve told me sooner instead of me hearing about it through others now that they’re mad. My ...

I am just not myself anymore. My partner of 8 years is the most selfish man. He goes away next week for a full 7 days. Monday to Monday. Leaving me with 2 year old and 3 month old. Told me this morning he won't be around tomorrow because the boxing is on so the kids won't actually see him until Sunday. But he just ...

I have a 9 week old baby boy who is constantly upset over the last 4 weeks and I’m not sure what to do. The GP has prescribed gaviscon because he was being a little sick then upset during and/or after his bottle (breastmilk) which has now in turn constipated him so now he is straining and getting upset. I have been ...

Am I overreacting with the situation? A typical day of our life is, my MIL helped out to take care of LG when husband and I are at work. But recently my LG is not feeling well, and my MIL keeps on saying that its good to bring her outside and enjoy the weather. I told her nicely 3x that we will take her outside afte...

So my husband has been with soo many women in the past, body count is over 100 😑 anyway I’ve only been with him and I didn’t know about his history as he lied in the beginning due to fear of being judged. So sometimes he forgets if he’s been to somewhere with me or someone else, like yesterday we went golf, he was…

Is it bad that I put on ms rachel most mornings for my 4 and a half month old so I can brush my teeth, take the dog out & feed my cat and dog? She watches for probably about 15 mins a day. Everyday I have anxiety that I'm messing her up by letting her watch. Thoughts?
