I’m 28 weeks pregnant and on 10th December I suffered a terrible sudden loss of my father and best friend. I’ve been in deep mourning, didn’t celebrate Christmas. Don’t want to be around anybody really. People have been wanting to visit and bring the children presents and I’ve respectfully dismissed20 - By MoonlightgemmHi everyone, My second daughter who is 12 months has been pulling up to a stand but hasn’t had her first steps just yet. My mother law keeps trying to get her to stand and walk to her, multiple times even when I wasn’t in the room. I feel like it’s a big milestone and I or husband should be the on20
- By cutiepiecMy MIL is visiting from the UK - she hasn't come over for a few years and is here for four weeks. She's quite eccentric and does stuff like wash her underwear and hang it off the back of chairs and things around the house. I've gotten used to most of it and deal with it better than I used to, but sh80
- By Farm_mum90fI work at my local church office (small country town) and I noticed a missed call this morning (Christmas Day) from someone on our finance committee. Initially I didn’t think much of it and thought it was a pocket dial but then I noticed he had left a voicemail. It said merry Christmas and then aske70Advertisement | page continues below

- By ArbieeaI am in a mother's group that has been going since our babies were about 4 months old. My daughter is 1 now. She's been pretty much consistently in the 75th percentile for height and weight since birth. One of the mums for some time has commented every time I have seen her that my daughter is 'big'.110
- By JuliejHi there 😊 Sorry for the long post! I've always maintained a close relationship with my MIL since we met and she's been very good to me so far but recently she's made some insensitive comments about my ttc journey knowing hard it's been for both of us.

Two can’t come because their kids have swimming, my sister thinks they are being really selfish and should prioritise the party. Is she right?

Long story short: my neighbour's cat is in our backyard daily and taunting my cats through the window, attacking the glass, causing constant anxiety in my house, and I want to write an anonymous letter to the owner explaining the behaviour and asking them to keep their cat off our property This has150 - By BabyCenter_memberbI’m 23 weeks pregnant, working full time, raising a threenager and I am tiiiiired.

Husband and I run a small business together. I am wanting to improve my record keeping of a certain part of our business. Husband's suggestion is to do up a spreadsheet and keep the paper in a folder. I find I work best when I can bounce off other's ideas to create something that will work wel60 - By JayKay22Trigger warning: mention of baby loss This week has been hard for me.

- By Vendea87vSo my dad and i were very close when I was little and he was very good to me. When i was a teenager he checked out and never checked back in (emotionally).

- By BabyCenter_memberbOH and I had a chat about the division of household chores and I am fed up of always washing clothes etc, which I told him and he said he'd do it for the foreseeable to give me a break. Great! I thought.. a few days later nothing had been washed and didn't mention it to him, because why should it530

MIL loved my partner's ex, they still chat regularly, MIL tells OH when they've spoken and what she's up to etc. His ex is single and meets up with his sister sometimes too.

Okay, we love the name Cohen if we have a boy. I am on another pregnancy app full of Americans & I had innocently posted about name suggestions and that I liked Cohen. According to the majority of them it’s a massive No No- do not do it. It’s offensive to the Jewish people & religion. it360 - By calypso7cI just had baby and my 2 friends who live nearby have older children and asked to meet up with me and new baby.
