I’m just so annoyed with my husband and need to let it out. I understand my husband works hard and deserves to enjoy time to himself. But he does not help a lot with our baby. All he wants to do is play his stupid video games and talk to his gamer friends. While I’m alone and taking care of our baby who is going thr...

I am by no means the perfect spouse. My husband has a busy job and weekends he has been spending renovating our basement. We have gotten to the point where he is doing the baseboard. 2 of the 3 rooms in our basement look pretty much flawless, but the last room has some huge gaps. Normally I keep my mouth shut, but m...

So, I went for dinner tonight with my in laws and my son was so upset. My sil was trying to console him however as I’m mum, I wanted him back as he was inconsolable (teething, colic and reflux baby 🥲❤️) Anyway, she then passed him back but wanted to take him a walk. I wasn’t comfortable but said yes because she…

It's hard for me to sit back and let dad discipline, I just have other beliefs when it's comes to spanking a child .My baby is 11 months and he got his first pop by dad Am I wrong to feel this way ?

My MIL calls me to check on our baby and her son , etc .. I get calls 2-4 times per week.. I have basically become the point of contact for her son and her granddaughter and any information she needs… I want my MIL to call her son and ask him for any questions she has. I don’t feel like it should be me all the time....

Originally I felt bad about it but the more I think about it im like no fuck that! My 3mo is special needs, he has troubles swallowing and also has GERD, so his reflux episodes can be scary for us, and him, but we've gotten better at handling it without panicking and making things worse. Today we were out with my ...

I’ve been pregnant back to back while living here lol but my husband and I we buy our own groceries, we clean up our mess, our kids mess. She has her son in law living here, her brother in law living here, her other son, and of course us and her little family of 4. The guys living here are soooo nasty, they cook th...

Am I asking too much of my partner, we have a 2 month old and a toddler, my partner is now back at work but I just like a little bit of help as I feel I pretty much do everything, the one thing that gets me is he can just go up to bed or will fall asleep on the sofa but I need to wait for the baby to go to sleep, I ...

Honestly I need to rant or I’m probably going to loose my shit with my management! I have given them over 6 weeks notice I have no childcare on one of my shifts in… it’s been put off for 3-4 weeks now 3 weeks before they reject my request even though they know I have no fucking childcare are they thick?🤨 what am I…

Anyone else's toddler (mine is 16m old) not like when you and your partner are being affectionate? My husband and I were just sitting on separate couches holding hands and our daughter freaks out anytime he touches me. He's never done anything to me. Not even once. However she starts crying everytime he tries to kis...

OK, my son has been staying with my mom for the last couple weeks because I’ve had Covid now that he is back home not really acting out. He just seems really depressed and the people at her apartment told her she’s not allowed to have him over there, and I don’t know how to feel about that, he doesn’t bother anybody...

I have a 1 year old, I take her out to the park once a week. Should I be taking her outside more often or is taking her outside to a park once a week okay for her age?

My bf is controlling, and I don't think he even really realizes he's doing it. We've been together for almost 7 years. I moved out of state to be with him 5 years ago. I never really made friends, just a few acquaintances that I keep up with on FB, and one friend from back home that now lives about 30 minutes from ...

It’s so sad seeing everyone spend their bank holiday weekends with family (own family or in laws). While I spend it alone.. I have my sister in law here in the uk (husbands sister) but she’s such an evil human being. We haven’t spoken in 1.5 yrs. if you have in laws who you speak to, can visit you are lucky!

Yesterday we went to the local fair with my partners family. It was 23 degrees and we were sat in direct sunlight. My baby is 8 months old and she had her suncream on and sat in the shade of her pram permanently. Issue 1: my father in law went to pick her up. She had her hat on and he took it off saying ‘ we don...

Aside from tummy time, eye tracking with contrast cards & reading what sort of activities is everyone doing with their little ones? My almost 8 week old doesn’t do more than 30 mins for naps & I’m running out of ideas for things to do with her. I’m also hoping that if we do more/different things she may get more tir...

I have these grain and grow puffs from gerber and the teethers that are rice based also the rice cereal. Rice has arsenic in it. Should I still give them to my baby or are there alternatives? Arsenic is a know carcinogen. I feel like I posioned my kid. Should I keep them or throw them out

My baby just turned 7 months and she “ doesn’t eat” that much, some times she just don’t eat solids a day here or there. She still breastfed on demand. Shws interested in food, but just don’t want it… she’s not hungry?
