It feels like I'm the only one out of my friends who hasn't left their LO for a significant amount of time yet. I don't mean nursery during work, I mean a whole day out with friends or a night away. How about everyone else?

Does this sound like a sincere apology? The yeses makes me feel like it isn’t or maybe I’m tripping.

I am on a loc journey

Hi, my name is Beth and I’m 23. I’m a first time mum to my beautiful little boy Arlo-James and I’m struggling with postpartum depression and loneliness. If I’m being honest I think I just need some friends, real friends. Someone you can trust and just vent to and FaceTime. If you feel like you just need someone to t...

wish I could get a break before I break somebody in my house.

How do YOU practice self-care on tough days? Self care is something we ALL need to prioritize. You can't pour from an empty cup! So what do you do to take care of you??

People really don’t care.I done calling people first just so people can talk to me or my baby. I learn the hard way. So after today i wash my hand with people. People ne...

Ever since my twins were born I have been having trouble making friends. We are not poor but definitely not wealthy. We have enough to pay the bills and a modest savings but no money for extras like holidays or even the much needed extra therapies our disabled son could benefit from. It has happened over and over th...

Can anyone relate to this? I’m 26 and going to be a first time mum in May and absolutely sh***ing myself. I’m emotional about it and just already feeling like I’m going to fail…

The best response? Live your life well. The cumulative effect of our individual thoughts and actions can influence. Humans lie, bully and others will enable it...it's part of the human condition. Doesn't make it acceptable but living your life well is the best antidote (e.g., not causing egregious harm to others by ...

Hi, so basically I’m really fucking lonely. My partner works 6-5 most days. My family live 45 minutes away and I don’t drive. None of my friends come to see me and I’m too anxious to do anything but take baby for a walk on my own. I do go to baby sensory one day a week but even there I have no one to talk to, everyo...

How does one begin to love and care for themselves if no one around them loves or has cared about them. That was so hard to even type up. Im such a pos I can't even stand it

How is everyone feeling about going back to work? I’m kind of sad that I have to go back but also I’m kind of happy because I feel like I need to get into a routine again and I need to do something other than being a mum and I need human interaction other than just my baby🥲 I see everyone say they’re dreading it…

Hey girlies, anyone else completely lost all friends since having a baby? I miss having a girl best friend! I think finally after 10 months of giving birth I’ve accepted that they don’t deserve me or my baby in their life if they couldn’t even bother to check in on us ❤️

just barely got the hang of juggling my 4 younger than school age kids and he’s been sent off for a few weeks we don’t even know how long yet. No family close and havent made close enough friends to come to my house/4kids is too many for me to handle by myself in public besides errands at least for now. Plus the ove...

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about people having so many relationship issues. I always feel bad that I can’t offer much support or create a strong connection with these these women because I don’t have that kind of relationship with my hubby. Sure we have our disagreements and differences in opinions but he is my...

I’m feeling pretty sad today. I worked really hard in a medical assistant school. Got a job that I loved but I had to quit because my kid was always getting sick and childcare was hard to find. I had planned on going back to work but I got pregnant and now I’m back where I started in the first place that motivated m...
