Has anyone experienced their 6 month old baby hysterically cry when ever they see their grandparents?

Looking for tips on how you got around it.

No matter what we or the grandparents do, baby isnt keen on them at all. 1 look and he will scream like its the end of the world

Question for the ladies that have or may know someone that got pregnant while on the jadelle contraception (aka implanon) What were your symptoms and how long did you have it in before you found out?

I’ve been having nausea, vomitting, migraines, tiredness & only just learnt that pregnancy triggers eczema and I’ve been wondering why out of nowhere, I started having flair ups (which I haven’t in over 10 years) I went to the doctors last week and I did a pregnancy test which came back negative so he put it down to anaemia so I had a blood test done specifically for that but although it was on the low side, it wasn’t enough to say I was anaemic. I have a normal menstrual cycle but since last month I got it twice back to back and I’m still spotting now (it’s not like my regular cycle where it’s somewhat heavy) I’m waiting at least another week to do a home pregnancy test but I just wanted to hear if anyone else has gone through the same thing or similar.

I v**e too so I don’t know if I should be stopping, I’m taking iron pills, have done so for the last 2 weeks now. I’m just a bit stumped as to why all of a sudden I’m feeling like this and how could I be pregnant when I’ve got the Jadelle implant. TIA

It's Book Week next term for many schools. This can lead to parents having anxiety or can lead to them getting their competive side on and craft hats on. Whatever the case we would love for our members to share their past creations so others can get inspired.

Hi can you please post anonymously?

I am a first time parent with a baby boy and my husband has brought up the idea of circumcision. Has anyone else done this for their son and is pleased they did it? When does it usually get done? People say the younger the better?

Hi Admin,
Can you please post this as an anonymous?
Me and my husband are sleeping in seperate bedrooms since nearly 5 years now. We both want to start sleeping in the same bed again but I guess we are just used to having our own space now.
It all started when I gave birth to my son 5 years ago. Because I was staying at home and he had to go to work I would just ask him to sleep in different bedroom so that he gets enough sleep and does not get tired at work. But now that my son sleeps in his bedroom we both feel like we need to stop this. We have tried to sleep in the same bed a few times but I can not sleep next to anyone now. And then I just go to another bedroom in less then half an hour.
Can someone please advise what to do to break this habit?
Thank you🙏

My husband and I have been together for 20 yrs & married for 10. We run a business and have 3 kids. 20 years ago my husband thought I cheated on him (I didnt) this person has recently come back into our life and for the last month my husband has been niggling me, asking me if I have been faithful and I say "yes nothing happened" He will then throw things and say tell me the truth. He got quite grumpy at one of our kids the other day and I said don't yell at our kids and once again threw something and threatened to hurt my parents. I know he wouldn't and he's just angry but I can't seem to help anymore. I love him to bits but what am I to do?? I feel he wants me to leave but I want to support him through this
