Random question.

If you had all your bills paid and all you had to do was be a SAHM. I mean you don’t even pay for groceries or phone bill. You don’t even have the traditional housewife roles (you know like if you wanna buy takeaways all the time you can, if you wanna get cleaners or whatever) Literally just live however just take c...

SAHM vs Working Part Time

So I was telling my husband last night that they are introducing 15 hours free nursery care from September 2024 for babies from 9 months plus… which I had said would come in handy for when I return to work. He has shocked me by saying he’s going to make sure he’s working hard enough and earning enough to allow me n...

Will he change?

Currently 8 months pregnant with my first baby. Together for 11 years, married for nearly 1. My husband hasn’t been right since we got married last year, he’s depressed. Massively. He wanted this marriage and baby so bad (begged for years for us to try but after two losses I wasn’t ready until now). He’s angry...

0 sex drive

It’s been 10 months since we had our baby and I just can’t be bothered to have sex. I literally have no sex drive at all. My boyfriend keeps asking every day and is very draining I end up doing it for just doing sake but I just don’t know why I am never in the mood. He wakes up and is already asking for it and I hon...

Support needed

So a couple of months ago I got a message from a girl on Facebook who told me that she had been talking to my husband over snap/ messages. I was 5 months postpartum and we had been going through a rough patch, but I never suspected it was getting to the point of him messaging other women. He was flirting, sending mo...

Contraception advice please!

I’m looking for advice on contraception. I’m three months postpartum and up until a couple of years ago, I was on the microgynon 30 pill for about 17 years. I understand there are increased risks with taking this over the age of 35, which i am just creeping over. My periods are pretty clockwork naturally but I use...

Boundaries in Relationships

After 11 years together me and my husband had a talk about what the boundaries in our relationship are. Some of them we were like duh it’s been a “rule” we just didn’t realize it was a boundary. One of the boundaries is not to make jokes when I turn him down for sex he says he does that out of insecurity because he ...

I hate my husband

To clarify, my husband is not an abusive partner, he’s just not a good person. When I was 8 months pregnant, I had found out that my husband had been online cheating on me for the entire duration of our relationship. Through two years of dating, a marriage, and a baby on the way, he had never been faithful to me. Wh...

Mom Friends

My problem is, is that I want more mom friends but I’m a homebody. I like to play games or watch movies, it’s hard to make friends when I love to be at home all the time 🤣🤣 I do take my son to the park when it’s nice out. Also I’m just socially awkward and shy so on top of wanting to stay at home I have that…

Overnight jobs

Anyone know of any work from home jobs I can do overnight in Oakland county? Childcare is problematic for me. Finding something from 8pm-4a.m. would be immensely helpful.
