Hi everyone. What are the best days for the little one to go to nursery? My husband and I are planning to work less and have one day off each from our work.

I have 1 child. Yes 1. And I cannot manage. I cannot get anything done. Everyday I'm running, rushing, calculating, preparing, planning. I am 33.

Her dad and i went through a nasty custody battle and him and his mother spoil the hell out of her. Tell her stupid things to make her hate me.

I need some advice. My dog thought the neighbours kids wanted to play with him and he chased the kids. Later the father came up to me and asked me to put him on the lead next time (I asked before if it was ok to let him off) as my dog caught on of the kids ankle. I apologise to them, including the child but I feel s...
My little girls dad is driving me insane. He hasn’t worked since she has been born he doesn’t clean, feed her (I do breastfeed but she is now being weaned), change her, wake up with her, bath her just literally nothing with her.
