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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Asked OH if he wanted to bath Jack tonight as it's one of the rare nights that he's home from work early enough for bathtime and he basically said no cos he was watching the football. Talk about priorities ey. I know he probably wants to chill after work but seriously? Jack's only 2 months old...

Today was the second time i've taken Jack out without my OH (round of applause please haha) and the first time i've changed his nappy while being out. This probably sounds really petty and a bit OCDish but i really didn't like changing him in public changing rooms. Me and my friend went to a...

Calling on you ladies for some creative help! I need to write an article for a mothers website as part of my freelancing job. It can be literally about anything to do with babies, pregnancy or kids. I was thinking about an article on controlled crying or tips on how to keep your 'sense of self'...

My son is such a strange little boy! The night before last i fed him at 1am and he was up at 3:30 wanting another. Last night he had a feed at 10pm then slept through til 5:30am! Temperamental like his father! x

It's probably a bit early to be thinking about this with Jack only being 2 months old lol. But i've been thinking recently about the sort of little boy and eventually the man he's going to grow into. I believe that your upbringing contributes massively to the person you grow up to be and i have...

I'm feeling very content today. Things are by no means perfect. There are still massive issues with OH and i'm so tired i could sleep for a hundred years (as usual) but i feel like i'm finally embracing being a mother. When Jack was first born it took me a while to get used to him. I didn't...

I have a friend who i've known since school and who i considered to be a really close friend. In the past few years she has become a little distant because she has a boyfriend who she's totally besotted with and tends to spend all of her free time with him and his family/friends. That's fine, i...

Jack's been really strange with winding the past day or so, not sure if it's to do with his cold or the hot weather. He's always been a funny winder - sometimes all i have to do is sit him up and a huge burp falls out, other times i can be patting him for ages and nothing happens. But just...

Posted a thread on this a few days ago but nobody replied :( getting worried now. Jack still has a raspy cough and today has seemed really irritable. He is eating ok and doesn't have a temp but sometimes his chest rises and falls very heavily when he breathes. The coughing doesn't seem to bother...

Jack has had a nasty cold for about a week now. His snotty nose and breathing seems to have improved a bit but he still has a really nasty hacking cough. He doesn't cough that often but when he does it sounds horrible. His chest isn't rattling or anything but he does seem irritable (that could...

I feel like all i ever do is moan on here. I'm glad of the outlet to rant but dear god, you ladies must think i'm a right miserable bint. I feel like i've coped really well with motherhood so far. Everyone kept saying that my hormones would be going crazy and it was ok to cry etc etc etc, but it...

I know there's been a few threads about what to dress LO's in for bed during the hot weather. I'm just wondering what you've been dressing them in to go out. I haven't been out with Jack yet. I feel bad because the weather has been glorious but a) i'm knackered and b) i'm scared it's a bit TOO...
