25.01.2022 ** Anonymous Post ** Hey Mums Wanting advice about how those mums who have split from their partners went about dealing with the joint debt you have with them- namely our house mortgage... I'd like to stay in our home, he I think will be happy to leave, but not sure what we would do with the mortgage, I'm unsure if I can afford it solo... just wanting to hear what others have done with their house when unfortunately the relationship ends ?.... thanks in advance * *...

20.01.2022 ** Anonymous Post ** I have a four year old son, who refuses any activities in relation to fine motor skills. He absolutely refuses to hold a pen, pencil, paint brush, chalk, Anything that may involve some sort of writing, painting, tracing shapes and letters etc Any suggestions/ ideas what I can do to encourage him ? ... We are seeing an OT but I am not very happy with her, she labelled him as intellectually disabled and adhd. He can do everything else by himself, just does not want to hold a pen. Due to it she said he has adhd and intellectuall disabilities. I am waiting for an appointment in March to been seen by another OT (second opinion) but in the meantime I would like to try and help my son as much as possible. Please if you have any suggestions, please share. He has no siblings. There is no one his age in the family that he can learn/ copy from. Thank you so much. * * Keep in mind when commenting that this page is a public forum. * * Submit an anonymous post: http://canberramumsgroup.com.au/anon-post/ * *
19.01.2022 ** Anonymous Post ** My husband and I had our first baby last year who is now 11 months old. It's been a really tough year on our marriage, my husband runs a business and covid has really had a big impact on it. He has had to work 7 days from 3 weeks after our baby was born and I've been looking after her alone. I totally understand that he has been under a lot of pressure with the business, but he hasn't contributed to caring for our baby or helping with any household dutie...s at all. He wasn't very helpful beforehand either, but we talked about getting pregnant about him taking more responsibility at home as he was pushing to have kids. Even on the random days that he does come home early or manages to take a day off, he doesn't help with anything. He'll play with our daughter for half an hour and then say he's tired and will just sit on his phone all day. I'm getting REALLY frustrated. Again, I get that he is working hard and wants to take a break when he comes home, but it would be really great if I could get a break sometimes too. I have to battle with him to so much as take a shower while he looks after our baby. I could handle this for some time as I understand that Covid is not a normal situation, but the main issue for me now is that his attitude towards me has gotten really disrespectful as well and we are arguing now almost every night. It's becoming a really toxic environment for my daughter. He has now demanded that I come and work at the business as well 7 days a week, as he says if he is working 7 days then so should I (he wants his mum to look after our baby while I am at the business). I was planning on going back to work part-time in Feb which won't be happening anymore. This is all honestly just getting too much and I feel like our marriage is falling apart. I feel like the only good thing in my life right now is my daughter and now I will barely even get to spend time with her. * * Keep in mind when commenting that this page is a public forum. * * Submit an anonymous post: http://canberramumsgroup.com.au/anon-post/ * * See more
19.01.2022 ** Anonymous Post ** I separated from my partner almost a year ago. My kids are still very young (2 and 4 years). I separated due to an unhealthy dynamic between my ex and I that counsellors have described as my partner being emotionally and psychologically abusive. My ex wants to try and get back together, mostly for the kids. I don't want to get back together but I am very sad and worried about the impact of them having separated parents and 2 houses. I know living in a to...xic house was probably worse for them but I still have a lot of grief that this was not the version of parenting/family I imagined. My ex hasn't wanted to have the kids overnight yet and because of their age and our situation I haven't pushed it. He mostly wants to catch up with all of us present rather than taking the kids by himself. I feel totally strung out. I don't have a lot of other support and work part-time so I feel like I'm juggling lots of balls, and often not very well. I feel pretty stressed and way more reactive/less patient with my kids. Which I worry about the impact of for them too. So my question, after a very long explanation, is whether I should consider a dual living arrangement with my ex - same house but him living in a self contained part (like underneath the house). This way the kids can come and go between us in one house which would hopefully be better for them, plus I may get more of a break... he has another child from a previous relationship and this option means the kids all get to see each other too. However my caution in this option is the unhealthy dynamic in our relationship. Would really appreciate other people's insights. * * Keep in mind when commenting that this page is a public forum. * * Submit an anonymous post: http://canberramumsgroup.com.au/anon-post/ * *

17.01.2022 ** Anonymous Post ** I dont know where else to turn I just really need some advice. I have a 21 month old an another on the way and I am meant to be getting married at the end of the year. However my mum is being a MASSIVE control freak. She is wanting to dictate every part of my wedding and if I say no to something she manipulates me saying 'I'm paying for this wedding'. She wants me to have this huge extravagant wedding but I just cant bring myself to do it because my famil...y cant even afford to get our car serviced properly, let alone have a huge wedding. I am almost at the decision that I want to get married in secret. Just my fiance, two babes and two witnesses who will be close friends. I am worried that my mother will flip her lid if I dont invite her but shes becoming too much for me to bare and she doesnt really care about what i want, she only cares about herself. * * Keep in mind when commenting that this page is a public forum. * * Submit an anonymous post: http://canberramumsgroup.com.au/anon-post/ * *

05.01.2022 ** Anonymous Post ** I am a mum-to-be with my first, it was a surprise for my partner and I. My partner and I haven't been together long and has been an emotional rolls coaster. We do not live together and we were meant to move in next month but didn't go ahead because of how toxic it has been between us. I feel like I am in a high school relationship that you break up and get back together after every fight, he can be very controlling and manipulative and I believe he may ha...ve a personality disorder but never brought it up with him. My family want me to stay away from him as do friends but I do love him and care for him and finding it so hard as I have so many people in my life telling me what I should do or making me feel shit... and I don't want it to get so toxic with my partner if we break up as he won't be able to co-parent. Don't want my baby not to have a family or a father so lost right now * * Keep in mind when commenting that this page is a public forum. * * Submit an anonymous post: http://canberramumsgroup.com.au/anon-post/ * *
