    Waking up 3 times a night and nursing is easier than having to wake up at 6:30 and drive to a job

    I'm married to such a POS. I don't think I can do this anymore. Told him he's a 50/50 partner once he walks though the door. He said his day gets started before ours, 6.30, and he has to be out the door at 7. We have two daughters, a 6 month old and almost 5 year old. I told him I'm up at 6:30...

    Can we talk about water beads?

    This is a rant for what my sister went through last night. My niece G (23 months) was playing with a ball full of water beads and it popped, my other niece L (4) ran to her mom and and told her “G popped the ball and is eating the beads!” My sister freaked out (rightfully so) and they took G...

    I'm fairly certain the ISR (swim) instructor for my kids exhibited racism and classism

    Update- Nov 8- I spoke with an officer about the child abuse. After taking down details they asked me to go to the POC (police operations center) to meet with a detective from special crimes. I did that tonight though there must have been a miscommunication since the detective was not there when...

    Just found out husband of nearly 7 years has had an affair - we have a 3.5y/o and a 17m/o

    Hi Moms. I’ve just found out my husband of nearly 7 years has had an affair last a few months. I’m horrifically minimising it here for the sake of my sanity, but I’m wondering there is some stories out there of other moms who have been cheated on who have kept the family together? Or, the flip...

    Happy f’ing Mother’s Day

    This is gonna be a long one, so apologies in advance. I have no one else to talk to. I have strep throat, was at the ER last night for it and feel like I’m dying. I haven’t been able to eat anything solid in over 2 days now. Never mind that I was also at the ER twice with my daughter on Monday...

    Baby flipped to transverse at 39 weeks and now OB wants to schedule c-section without trying ECV

    I went in for a BPP scan yesterday at 39 weeks and realized during the ultrasound that he’s turned from head-down to transverse. I’ve been prepping and planning my whole pregnancy for a natural, unmedicated birth, but now it seems like all of my plans may be going out the window. My OB seemed so...

    Any fellow D-MER (dysphoric milk ejection reflex) sufferers?

    I have a six week old baby and have been experiencing dysphoric milk ejection reflex, basically feeling feelings of dread, depression, self-loathing while breastfeeding. It only lasts a few minutes, but it's not fun, especially when you have a newborn who is nursing throughout the day. Does...

    My 4.5 yrs old son started going full time to a preschool since about 3 months ago. He was playing with my husband over the weekend and tried to tickle him in his private area and my husband told him "no, nobody tickles you there" "we do not do that" "it is not ok" "nobody should be touching...

    Another mom told me I have a fat a** today

    This is crazy and I can’t believe it actually happened! I was at the children’s museum today with my almost 2 year old and my 2 month old. Just getting out of the house is a huge endeavor these days with 2 under 2 but my daughter loves the museum sooooo much so we try to go often. My daughter...

    In case anyone needs it: this is the official permission post for parents living in places with sub-freezing weather to relax on screen time and food

    FTM currently at 36 weeks and getting things ready for baby. I see that dermatologists recommend Cerave products for baby soap/shampoo, etc. Now I am seeing that it may have a bunch of potentially harmful chemicals. Also, my MIL recommended that I wash all baby clothes in Dreft and I learned...
