My BD is saying I’m toxic because he keeps bringing my daughter back in uniform and taking it back with him because he “paid for it”. But I’ve been telling him I’m losing clothes with him doing that and I’m struggling to keep up. I’ve asked for clothes back and he refuses. So now when she comes in her uniform I refu...
Does anyone else’s baby love a freezer dinner? Super quick and easy 😂 And she demolishes the lot (except peas which she isn’t sure on) 🙈
Mother inlaw thinks she will take my child every Sunday from 10-2. She is literally insane and I have seen what she does to the other grandchild /my nephew & she smacks him in the back of the head I just don't trust her to watch my child without my supervision. My son also was born at 23 weeks and he had a grade 4 b...
Just need a vent! My MIL can come across quite overbearing but in a really nice way, like she's trying to be helpful. Most of the time we get along but I can't help but sense she doesn't like when I spend time with my own mother and sister. For example, I went for an afternoon tea at the weekend with my mum and sis....
I have a 4MO girl and other than a couple of hours with my partner or my mum (even then I’m panicky!) I can’t face leaving her with anyone, especially for longer periods of time. Is this unusual or normal? My partner has got a bit annoyed as he thinks we should be leaving her with his mum for hours or that he shoul...
My little girl is allergic to dairy and soya but I feel like some of my family will be picky it’s been suggested she has her own table 😂❤️
I am in a relationship with the perfect man for me. My question is are we too different? We both had a child from a previous relationship. My daughter is 4 and his daughter is 13. His daughter plays sports and he goes to every single game (3-4 a week) the thing is the games are late and I don’t want my child out tha...

Posting anonymous as I feel a pretty bad mum. I feel do sad and like I have let down my baby, I was so so excited to start weaning I have tons of books the lot....but unfortunately due to health issues (not putting enough weight) BLW was not the right path for us as solids are required to push weight so went into s...
Hi my little ones six months he’s been on purées since 4 months due to a milk intolerance and not gaining as much weight on just the milk but now he’s turned six months my HV is telling me I need to start giving him food such as toast and apples (her suggestions) but I’m scared he’ll choke? He’s on the chunky purées...

My 10 month old eats ALOT of solids. He’s on just over 600ml of milk too (which is fine), but with solids I can’t seem to feed him enough. As an example, he eats an enormous bowl of porridge at breakfast, one of the 10 month pouches plus fruit plus snacks at lunch. Then usually a mix of veg, meat and potato at dinne...
My MIL comes over maybe once every 2 months, she comments on the cleanliness of the house every time she comes (her house is a spotless all white show home), she cleans something every time she comes round and I’m not there. She makes comments to my partner about how the house is too messy etc and brings an actual b...
Trying to forgive someone you’ve done no wrong to is so hard. My bd has done so much i tried moving past it but the things he did is always in the back of my mind. Last night i told him i was on my last straw and feel like I’m done. He says he understands.. i just don’t know how to feel because i love him and want o...

On Sunday me, my son and BD went to the beach and had a good day kayaking in the ocea...
