I am a procrastinator and i hate it . Im working on it though

Today has been a hard day. My mom died 18 years ago today and I was really sad. My husband saw me crying and in a condescending tone said I’m sorry you’re so miserable. He knows every year around this is hard for me but he’s been being an ass b/c the last couple of weeks I haven’t been in the mood to have sex but he...

I don’t really know where to start. The doctors said I needed some talking therapy but I’m not good at talking face to face. I’ve always been a up and down kind of person, but since loosing my nan 3 years ago everything has gone out the window. I was angry all the time and I wouldn’t take it out on everyone else. T...

It feels like I’m the only parent to my daughter. I feel like a maid. Im just hurting bad

Am I the only one who constantly checks the backseat when I finally go somewhere without the kids? Like somehow they snuck in and I didn’t know or maybe in my postpartum brain fog, I strapped one of the kids in and forgot and oops there they are when I come out of the store!! Like I finally get to be alone and also ...

I am currently pregnant with my 2nd child. I have a 21 month old and having mum guilt on how he is going to feel when his sister arrives. This pregnancy is totally different to my last and feels so different I’m feeling guilt about that. Although I have a partner and he is brilliant I still feel pretty lonely. Can a...

Nobody told me how isolating and lonely pregnancy can be. Of course I have my boyfriend but it’s not quite the same as having people who have been/are going through it too.

I left my 9-5 job that I didn't like anymore (yet I had no choice but to leave because of my situation, to now owning my own business and being in college for the first time. I think I'm doing good but I feel like it can be better ❤️

I feel an immense need to go stay in a tiny cottage in the forest without a phone for a 30-day minimum. I only want to speak with animals and plants the entire time. But, alas, I am a mother, and young people need me. 💁🏻‍♀️😩 Seriously, though. I want to completely disconnect from everyone and everything. I need a…

Hubby and I have started trying to homestead, growing our own food, soon to have our own chickens and cows. Both kids are down for naps, so I was trying to take a relaxing shower. Suddenly I'm overcome with anxiety wondering if I'll have the knowledge and skills to feed and care for my family, and how we will surviv...

Ive suffered enough! Im ready for my soft girl era . I had a baby by a man child and today i am feeling sooo resentful. I need to relax

I just feel like a joke, I feel like many people do, how we were fed lies growing up about how to do life a certain way and I did and here we are broke af but making the most we’ve ever made in our careers. Ugh….and to think it could get worse???

We are 5 days pp and I am so lost. I feel like I prepared so well, read every book, listened to all the podcasts etc. and now I can’t even get my head around what kind of schedule were meant to have with baby. It’s like I know absolutely zero, running on pure instinct (which makes me feel like I’m wrong at every tur...

Hi guys, does anyone get mum guilt over their children’s friendships? Social media is full of mums meeting up with their children, yet we have spent the majority of half term just us as a family. Really would love to find some friends for my 7 and 4 year old.

How do you feel about receiving advice? Ex; You are expressing a difficult situation but you didn't ask for the advice.

Anyone else get those days where everything just feels heavy and overwhelming and you feel like you can’t talk to anyone about how you’re feeling? 😑😪

Was any of you ever alone during your pregnancy or when you delivered ? I’m now 7 months & have been alone my whole entire pregnancy. It scares me sometimes because I don’t know who Is even going to be In the delivery room with me but I try not to think so far up ahead & stress myself out. Some days It’s easy & I pu...

I am new here and when going through the group section my heart made a little jump reading 'socially awkward moms'! Almost like a relief, pfehh.....I am not the only one. It seems throughout the years of distancing myself more and more from things, it feels like it's getting even worse. It makes sense. I wonder h...

Sometimes I feel resentful that I chose to marry someone with a child . Loving the child is easy . Dealing with the coparenting is what’s stressful . Not having a say in arrangements but then still being expected to live on their terms . I’m ashamed to say that I’m feeling disconnected because I’m always living wait...
