Not a pity post! But just deeply hurt! I am never good enough for my husband. He’s always looking for someone more exciting, well off and younger woman. He repeatedly told me that I got aged and I am not the same nor I was attractive when we were getting married. Even at that time he had better chan...Read more

Hey all! Mom here to a 19 month old, and starting to think about if adding another child to our family is the right decision. I always figured we would have multiple kids, but to be honest having one has flattened me. I adore her and I’m so happy to have her, but taking care of her while my husband...Read more
TLDR; My parents have a different approach to parenting, discipline through punishment like hitting and yelling. They have punished us as kids by locking us in the bathroom, hitting us at the slightest pretext etc. We, however, prioritize patience and understanding with our children, never resorting...Read more

Have you seen a thread like this? Why doesn’t TikTok ban this shit? Are you letting your kids under 1...Read more
How many of you support baby to have both mother and father surname if it’s different? Is it common these days. My wife is very particular about including her surname with our child.

(Reposting based on suggestion in general topics) It wasn’t a thriving marriage to start with but we both respect each other and give each other space. Mostly we have been just burnt out and exhausted from work all the time that we barely found energy to invest in growing our relationship or common...Read more
My kid is 3 years old and im just wondering whether you had any extra curricular activities for your kids at around 3? My kid goes to skating classes but she's getting bored of it. Was thinking of letting her try out soccer, basketball, other sports or art activities but not sure if they're too ear...Read more
We are a married couple with 2 kids. Showing up equally on the home front has been a point of contention for us but the discussions go nowhere and just made the environment at home unpleasant. I’ve now stopped fighting for equitable share of responsibility but have a lot of resentment towards my hus...Read more
Any good sites to do simple freelance work for my 13 year old that loves technology.
We are in our late 30s and have 3 amazing kids (2 boys, 1 girl). We also make more than enough to care for them. However, I feel like the current setup is incomplete and odd (pun intended), and a fourth child will really even the setup out. The 2 boys play with each other a lot and the girl feels l...Read more
