support needed

Hi to all! I have a 14 month old son. He is healthy and thriving and I feel a little petty for bringing up this issue especially in the tough times we are experiencing in the world Now (war). But I stay at home with him, do contact naps, breastfeeding on demand (and not quitting until he decides...

I’ve got two questions really, and I hope this is the right place for both of them! I have a just turned 3 year old girl and a 9 day old newborn. My 3yo has adjusted well to the new addition, better than I could have hoped. It’s been easier than I thought to distract and entertain her during...

Trigger warning SA My daughter was SA 2 years ago by a close family friend. I walked in while he was "massaging" himself over her exposed body. He was charged and we go to trial in Match ( 2 years and 3.5 months later). As a witness I am not allowed to talk to her about what happened. She...

Hullo all! By next month I'll be transitioning to a different shift with a new job. It's a 4 day a week, 2pm-1am shift WFH. (More money, better benefits, WFH, and it's finally a step in my preferred career path since covid thats going to provide my family a better life in the long run.) My...

Currently 2yo LO is terrified of getting into the car. As soon as we mention we’re going somewhere it’s “no bye bye” panic mode, and what seems like a pretty serious fight/flight response. We can get them in the car if we absolutely have to - but it’s not pleasant for anybody and I think we...

I’d love some support or advice from anyone else who is/was still contact napping beyond 12 months; my baby girl is nearly 14 months old and her 2 naps are fully contact with nipple in mouth. Occasionally she unlatches; mostly not. If I unlatch or move she wakes up. I’m a SAHM so I’m lucky...

Excuse the title but I literally didn’t know what else to put. It’s currently 5 am and I’m at my wits end. This is going to be a long rant post and I just need some support, encouragement, constructive criticism, etc. this is the only subreddit where I know I can rant to compassionate and down...
