@katrina2017 Its actually really nice to hear you had such a positive experience being an only child. My partner is an only child and often says how lonely he was, which does make me worry about our son and if he'll truly be happy. But, just like you, we also had trouble conceiving. 5 years of...

@libbyhayden I'm so sorry you had to experience that, I think I'll have to give that a go. She's mostly very supportive but this all stems from when her husband moved the goal posts (he promised once she started a new teaching job they'd try, and now he's in it he said he wants to wait until...

@stronglady She doesn’t want to do daycare. She wants a big family and to be a stay at home mum. She’s also not happy I don’t breast feed and occasionally stick my son in his bouncer with the TV on for 10 mins as I need to take a call with a client or do something for work that requires my full...

@calpastor Her husband actually defends me and tells her to stop. I think she’s so desperate for a baby she doesn’t realise how strained she’s making me feel. I just feel like no one is really getting how tough it is. I don’t regret my son - I want to make that clear I absolutely adore him - but...

My friend, who is childless, keeps telling me I will regret not having another baby. My son is 9 months and is a happy, cheeky crazy little boy. But it’s been hard. We’ve had no help or support from family (my mum died, my dad refuses as he’s “done raising kids”, husbands mum lives 2 hours away...
