Can someone please recommend me a really good through cleansing product please. Whatever I use my oven just doesn’t come up clean. And I can’t really afford to get a company to come out. Thanks ☺️

Y’all. Idk how to do deal with these new age bullies. Question, do you let your kids hang out with kids you don’t like?

So there’s this guy at my church. I know he probably means well and whatnot but why do I have to keep reminding him to stop touching my 6yo son’s hair? And each time I tell him to please not touch my son’s hair, he looks at me as if he’s completely offended? Mind you this has happened three times in 6 months. My son...

Officially. I appreciated their help but I don’t want it anymore. they took ...

My son is 10 months old and I thought this would be better as he got older. My husband is amazing with him and is an awesome parents, but the second he picks up my son, my son gets hysterical. It’s so hard for him bc it feels like our son always rejects him. Idk how to help or make our son more comfortable. Is there...

My husband and I just had a little girl in November. Our parents keep wanting to look after the baby, suggesting every time we mention being tired to give the baby to them. We’re not comfortable with leaving our baby. It’s not that we don’t trust them, because we do. But we don’t want anyone but us looking after her...

I’m 6 weeks away from giving birth to my baby (hoping it’ll be on time). I’m the only one preparing for the baby & my husband isn’t contributing anything. When I ask, he is always turning everything to an argument. And even worse he starts arguments over nothing or very petty stuff. It’s constant walking on eggshell...

In the last week or so my daughter has started getting upset when my husband leaves the room and she's with me :( if he leaves and she's distracted she's fine and if it's just me and her it's fine but if he's carrying her and puts her down with me and then goes she gets upset....it's making me upset that she doesn't...

We're having a birthday party with our extended family (grandparents, cousins etc) on a Saturday, the day before baby's actual birthday on Sunday. My husband and I spoke ages ago about keeping his actual birthday free so that we could enjoy a special day just the 3 of us without the stress of hosting etc and so we c...

After watching the BBC documentary 'How safe are our nurseries?' I can't stop wondering about what really happens soon after you drop your child. I scouted several nurseries with good reviews and ratings and I was not happy with what I found. All ranging from children on screens to keep them calm, unresponsive staff...

Anyone else’s baby unable to be left alone? He’s my second baby so I’m struggling a bit to have time with my toddler one to one. He just cannot be left alone, if I leave the room he screams and screams. I can’t babywear 24/7, I tried to let him cry for a few minutes to see if he’d settle and it backfired. He just ...

My husband and I are currently in a long distance relationship right now, and being in postpartum makes it really hard for me to connect with him, him being the type of guy who always needs to be told what to do. I just want to be asked how I was doing not just always asking about our kids. I can't talk to him about...

So am I in the wrong here, our son 7 weeks old was crying and I asked if my partner could feed him whilst I got an extra couple of mins sleep. Partner fed him and I put him back in his Moses basket, partner then goes you owe me one. Erm no I don’t he’s your son. Sorry this has proper wound me up

Hello, I have an 8 week old baby who I love very much. Recently I’ve started to have such a short fuse for neighbours / friends who I don’t really know are so desperate to see my little boy. I made an effort with a neighbour when he was born after being pestered which I regret. Now I just get messages asking when ...

I am very conflicted. I enjoy being a stay at home mom but I’m also at the point where I feel like I’m not contributing. Is it wrong to feel jealous of someone who doesn’t have to pay for daycare and goes to work? But I’m also not sure if I want to leave him to go back to work and put him in daycare….

My daughter is 18 months & today I yelled at her, I told her 3 times to not touch the toilet & by the third time I yelled outta frustration I cried because I felt bad as a mom, but I'm burnt out working each day, cooking & cleaning while her dad works from 3am being a bus driver so I just don't know how to handle a ...

To start, please be kind. So my husband is very intent on bringing a people pleaser. He does anything to impress people and his parents and puts them before me. For mothers day, this being only my second, he wants us to drive 2 hours to see his family who I'm not close with and ive had issues with in the past, for m...
