Next week i'm going away for the night with a few friends. I've had it planned for ages but now it's come around i'm feeling really nervous about leaving Jack. I've been away from him for a few hours here and there but never overnight and the fact that we're going out of town (about an hour and...

I really really cannot stand my MIL lol. I've always found her to be a bit bitchy and petty - like shes always got a nasty comment to make about someone even if it's just over something pathetic. I know she's not too keen on me and the feeling is mutual but because of OH and Jack i feel like i...

I've been told by the clinic that you should really delay weaning for as long as possible (up to 6 months) because it gives their digestives systems longer to develop. Apparently weaning too early could make them more prone to tummy aches and intolerances. Never feel pressured to do what someone...

For the past two nights Jack has slept for 11 hours. Literally. Not a peep in between. I give him his bath and bottle between 8pm and 9pm and he's slept through until 8pm both mornings. Yesterday i woke up in a massive panic thinking something was wrong but when i went to him he was just waking...

FINALLY got Jack into the hang of his bath, bottle, bed routine and last night he slept from 9pm to 4:30am HALLELUJAH! The thing is, with him sleeping longer at night he's obviously going without night time feeds. I've been giving him 7oz bottles every three hours during the day and this...

Thank you hun, hope things will get better from now on. How cute is Sofia by the way...look at all of that hair! Adorable xx

Hey ladies, Haven't been on here for a while due to the issues with OH and whatnot, have been feeling pretty crap and would have only moaned. Just to let you know that we've decided to give it one last go. I know some of you will think i'm being foolish but i really don't want Jack to grow up...

Thank you so much TOR, you don't know how much your kind words mean to me right now. His mum DOES know about the gambling. The irony is that his dad was a gambler too and she left him when OH was a toddler. So you'd think she'd sympathise/understand. But she doesn't, she just picks fault at...

I'm sorry to bore you all again with the details of my Jeremy Kyle esq relationship, but i literally have nowhere else to turn and i'm so, so upset. Following on from my previous post about my OH's gambling and lies, i had it out with him and told him he had to leave. He didn't argue. He...

My OH was great when Jack was first born but now i'm starting to feel like the novelty has worn off. I can't remember the last time he changed him or give him a bottle and now on his days off he prefers to go play golf then spend any time with us. This coupled with his recent gambling has really...

Thank you ladies, you don't know how much your support means. I haven't told anyone yet so being able to talk about it here really helps. I know you're all completely right, it's just so tough. He's at work right now but when he's home i'll try and be brave and tell him how it is. I can't...

I might see if there's a number or something but i don't know what they'll be able to do to help me. He won't speak to gamblers anonymous, he thinks he can sort this problem out alone but he clearly can't. I think it's gone past the stage where i'm able to help him. I've been doing it for...

Are there any single mums who could give me some advice on how to cope financially. It looks as though me and my OH could be splitting up and i need to know what i'm entitled to on my own. I was low income (under 16k) when i worked full time before i got pregnant. My plan is to only go back...

Hi ladies, Sorry in advance for the impending post, i literally have nobody else to speak to right now and have no idea what to do. Some of you might remember me speaking about my OH's gambling problem before. Ever since i've known him he's had problems with it and he's gotten into all sorts...

This is standard procedure in my area too. We had 2 visits from the HV then she advised me to go to the clinic every other week to get him weighed. Won't have a scheduled appointment with the HV til 9 months now but they're always on the other end of the phone if we need advice x
