This might sound a little mad but here we go 😂 We recently installed a monitor above our LOs next to me in our bedroom. It’s linked to our phones and is always on. My husband works away for half the week and he has started to check the monitor when he’s away as he says he likes to be able to see our baby in real…

Y’all I’m over my family’s unsolicited advice on how to raise my son and feeling like I have to explain how I’m raising him time and time again. My son is only 5 weeks and my mom and Nana will not stop saying I need to let my baby cry and not hold him so much. I’ve explained again and again that we are not doing the...

My bf is mad at me because I don’t want him to take our son abroad for a week to see his family. Our son is 6 months old and just don’t feel comfortable with him being in a different country to me for over a week! There’s a few reasons as to why I can’t go at the moment but he says I’m being way too overprotective. ...

Since my little girly started really properly walking two weeks ago, shes everywhere and of course her bumps, bruises and scrapes have increased a lot as she has become a daredevil 😭😖 3 times in 2 weeks already nursery have filled in an incident report asking us to confirm what happened for X bruise or X bump 😭 As…

When I pick up my daughter from nursery she immediately runs away from me and rolls on the floor. I have to bring a snack/treat with me for her to calm down. I don’t know why she does this because she’s literally my best friend. At home we are completely fine. Anyone know why she does this please

We recently hosted a big Easter party for our family and friends and at the end 99% of the people didn’t even come and say bye. There was no space left on the table to sit with them as we do have the agreement that they bring their own chairs as always as they weight 350lb so the normal chairs aren’t comfy for them…...

I need to leave my child’s father. This man is just toxic as hell. I have caught his ass adding/texting other females. He finds any reason to argue and yell. I’m just done I’m so tired of being unhappy, but he’s the only source of daycare at the moment sadly. I got out on the care4kids waitlist and I can’t really pa...

Ok mamas…. So my boyfriend’s brother is getting married on a Sunday the ceremony starts right at the time my LO normally has bath time, last bottle and etc. On days that we are out of routine she’s more fussy at 5pm since she knows it almost close to bedtime and we aren’t home and or starting bed time routine. I tex...

Am I in the wrong for being annoyed at this? So my boyfriend will say his going out to do something in the day take hours to do it but calls me to say I’ll be back soon etc, when he gets home he will be exspecting all the houses to be clean, and the washing to be done ( only dose his own if he was to do it) when he ...

My parents have been amazing with helping us get ready for the little one coming, they have bought the pram and car seat and helped paint the nursery but as we are getting nearer the end I can’t help but feel like they are offended by some of the decisions we are making. The first being when I told them under no c...

So I may be overreacting and please tell me if I am. My husband gets off work mega early every day but likes to pretend he didn't. He said he would like to go to the golf after his early shift and would go straight there, I said no problem. I don't have an issue with him doing that. He doesn't help much round the ho...

I am pregnant with my first baby. We just found out it’s a boy. My husband is over the moon. I, on the other hand, am more shattered than I ever thought I’d be. We want to have a second, and if our second isn’t a girl, I am not sure I’ll be able to cope. I have a bonus daughter already, she’s 8 now and I’ve been i...

Convinced I have the worlds most moodiest baby! He's forever grumpy and frustrated no matter what we do. He seems so disassociated and bored all the time. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with him because I've never seen a baby so grumpy😭 it makes me question whether I'm doing something wrong or not doing…

My 2 years old boy doesn’t want me around him anymore💔 he started hitting, screaming and sitting in dark closing doors whenevr he gets angry he always wants his daddy to hug or comfort him. From last few days he starts crying without any reason after taking his afternoon nap and he only want his dad at that time💔 ……

So I put my little boy down for 5 mornings a week but now the nursery have changed to term time . Meaning 9-3pm but I feel like that’s so long and I’m like can I take him out earlier or are they in till 3? I also feel selfish because I want to take him out at 1pm 🫣😂 think because he’s my first born I will feel lost…

My baby has been crying all morning since the moment we woke up. I mean hysterical holding his breath crying. He’s usually such a chill baby and hardly ever cries. He’s been fed, burped, had a dirty nappy, he had a good sleep last night, I’ve tried carrying him around, cuddling him. Nothing is working and I really d...

I feel really sad, currently looking after 3 children by myself. I have twins that are only 3 months old. This isn’t what I thought life would be. I don’t know what I do from now. He changed after I gave birth, became very angry and took a lot out on me when I tried to do everything right. Said he needs to leave an...

I dropped my 2yo at nursery today for his second settling in session. He was a bit scared going in at first until I picked him up and let him look through the window and said 'look, do you wanna go in there and play and have lots of fun?' He then went into the room, looked back to make sure I was behind. He got thou...

Are the baby learning videos on YouTube not good for LO? I see people talking about minimising screen time but my LO loves the baby learning videos

My mum is constantly buying things for my LG. Every time she comes to visit (she lives 2 hours away) she buys my LG new toys. When she stayed recently she went to the shop with her and bought loads of toys for her, which she'll play with for 5 minutes. My LG was asking for chocolate cake for weeks her dad and I woul...
