My daughter is 2, and it seems like we get thank yous half the time or less. I don’t need anything fancy, a text message or any acknowledgment would be fine! Just curious what the norm is

I stupidly slept with a “friend” while very intoxicated and fell pregnant. He didn’t support me throughout my entire pregnancy, didn’t attend any appointments.. didn’t come with me when I was having trouble and was in and out of the triage. He couldn’t even tell me what hospital I was registered to have the baby in ...

Does anyone know how I can work out my NHS maternity pay with SMP on top? Yearly I make £39,850 so I don’t actually know how to work it out 😬 really stressing me out!

I message so many people on here and hardly ever get a response, it’s frustrating. I hardly have any mum friends and those I do, never want to meet up. Would be lush to have a new mum friend to do things with and/or someone who my partner can be friends with their partner too 💗 Llanelli 📍

Is there any groups going for me to join about moving into a new home or is it not a thing yet 😂🫶🏼

Do these exist? If so, I’m considering working again and this would be the best option for me due to mental health issues. TIA

Any other mamas feel so alone it’s causing borderline depression? I’m a 29 year old mama to a little guy. I only have my son half the time (50/50 schedule) and the other half of the time I just go back to an empty bed and lay there in silence until the rest of the day passes by. Idk why it’s so hard to make friends...

I’m in total shock, feeling unappreciated and don’t know what to do. I’ve been challenging the maternity pay where I work as it’s statutory maternity pay….i work for a very well known football club. Today HR offered to pay me off!!! Totally unexpected and as a result of my ongoing discussions to try to influence the...

I know this is dependent on where you live, how many kids you have, lifestyle, debt, but I’m just curious a rough amount that people are actually comfortable on. My husband makes about $100k and it’s *barely* enough to just get by where we live. We have basically no debt, no car payments, just mortgage and normal ex...

Can anyone help me to think of presents for my boy for Christmas? I know this sounds weird but he doesn’t really like playing with toys when he’s at home and has much more fun with things like loading up the washing machine, cleaning the house with me etc. and doesn’t actually show interest in any of the toys he has...

My BD has not met my LO, 3 months makes me SO made how someone can’t give a sh*t about their own blood, feel like it’s been the hardest year and feel so lonely

Is anyone else feeling quite lonely in this first trimester? My partner couldn’t possibly DO more, but having no friends with children or in this stage of life yet has left me feeling so alone, when I talk about how I’m feeling I feel the disinterest from them. Just hoping I’m not alone in this feeling, and the gui...

Sunday Roast that I made for my partner.

For the past two days, I’ve been feeling like my life has been in a constant loop. I’m a SAHM and ima be honest I haven’t had a moment just to decompress and find myself. For the past 2 years I’ve lost my identity and neglected myself because of it. I’m not looking for pity, I just want to be understood. I’ve tried ...

Hey, I'm Amber. I live in Raleigh. I'm 32 and have a one year old daughter, and I'm currently pregnant with my second daughter. I'm looking for new mom friends in the area :) or not nearby, lol

So, I was having doubts in my relationship, going outside and having the feeling that my husband was looking at other girls. I went to his phone last night, looking at the pictures he took. I found a picture of a woman he took when he was at work, so he took this picture of her kind of hiding the phone with his case...
