Best Freind stayed over this weekend . Yesterday we were getting ready and I left lo with her while I went to the toilet, I take a while normally, when I came out she was in the spare room with him getting changed and I assume more than just a t shirt because she's never bothered about me seeing her in a bra.when ...

Hey mummas, tomorrow is my 20 week scan. My partner gets all scans off work so he is taking me. The hospital is in the city so a 40 min drive or 2 buses and roughly 2 hours (without road works) Yesterday i asked the plan after the scan as they get booked in early (between 8-8:30) and his work usually give him off un...

So today I was changing our 18m old diaper and he bent down to play with her and she was waving her arms, I don’t exactly know what happened because I was focused on wiping her, but he like tapped her arm to say no and I was like “hey- don’t do that” and he went off the fucking rails. And went into like a 5-10m rant...

My husband came home feeling very sick. While I understand that he is not feeling good, it's how he acts that iratating. He literally walked through the door and had me help him take his backpack off (he rides a motorcycle to work sometimes and takes the bag for his helmet). Once he gets his jacket and everything h...

I need advice, my husband and I agreed that we would only have two kids. We shook on it and said ok. But ever since I had my second child, I have felt a STRONG sense of someone is missing, like we are supposed to have another one. And I don’t know if that is because I have two sons and would love a daughter or if i...

Sorry for the long post Me and my bd have been together a little over a year. My twins were an accident and honestly a blessing. I love him but I’m getting to the point that I’m unhappy. It’s so many factors as to why. He’s told me I’ve let myself go but he never takes care of the twins long enough for me to do anyt...

I had gone to a wedding and met my husband's extended family. His cousin was getting married, I have been with him for quite some time and married for 3 years now. At this wedding I was one of two POC and the other person was a friend of the groom (his cousin). His wife's family was making backhanded complements a...

So I’ve been in my SD (10) life since she was 1 yo. In the beginning the BM was so so petty. Like calling cops on us to come get our SD (3) bc we didn’t feel she was safe around her then-boyfriend (who was also on the phone yelling at my SO always trying to fight him over stuff she started, and who eventually DID tu...

Maybe i don’t show him how much i appreciate him either. I see how some men speak so highly of their wives like she’s amazing shes gone through so much given me babies. I’ve gone through 3 pregnancies, 3 scary c sections, a miscarriage. I stay home with them and one is special needs and im not feeling well right now...

Hi mamas, How would you guys feel if your husband works 14 hours a day and wants to work even more, while you’re home with the baby every day alone? How would you approach the conversation about not wanting him to work more hours in a polite manner without making him feel like he’s being restricted?

Mrs. Rachel is for ever banned from our house andmy daughter (19 months) is no longer allowed to watch it. So Friday we decided to check out Mrs. Rachel and see if she’d like it turns out she did, then daddy came home and all was good, so today while I’m making dinner dad turned on Mrs. Rachel for her she was instan...

I feel like giving up. My 2 week old always wants to be cuddled and falls asleep in my arms, as soon as I put him in the Moses basket, he screams!! I can’t keep going with the sleepless nights anymore. I really don’t know what to do! I feel like I’m failing 😭😭

So my fiancé and I have been together for almost 12 years. He recently started going down on me, like out of no where when it was something he never did all this time. Not complaining but for someone who doesn’t do it, he was really good. I recently noticed he also started matching his outfits more and wanting to ma...

So my husband and I are not getting on at the moment and tbh I don’t think he will ever change and I cba to even attempt it or even put my effort in him anymore. However I have a toddler and would love to give him a Sibling. I really want my children to have the same dad but as far as my husband or men are concerned...

My 6 year old had one done in March, just got the results today. She low in almost every aspect. She got all S’s (satisfactory) in science, social studies, and conduct which is amazing. She has problems with reading, math and spelling. Then their targeting about her behavior, how she’s has a speech problem (which ...

I've been with my husband for 15 years now. He's the shy type. I'm more outgoing and we tend to compliment each other very well. He chooses to not have friends, he has people who try to initiate friendship often but he's happy spending time with myself and our daughter. Which I think is a bit sad (as it's good to h...

Idk how these things go but I’m just going to say it. Me and my partner have been together for 10+yrs. Last night we got into an argument and he slept on the couch. This morning I go downstairs to apologize for the night before but as I walked into the living room. There he was drunk and asleep. I look up at the tv ...

Please advise. So as of today I’ve got a 2 weeks notice from my so called partner to find somewhere else to live and a job with our 17month old baby. I’ve never went back to work after my maternity has finished as our plan was that I stay at home with the baby till he is 3 years old. We’ve been having problems bu...
