How can you be friends with people that are wealthy in comparison to you when they don't understand how your lives differ?

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...

How is everyone feeling about going back to work?

Lonely 😞

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 ❤️

Love my man

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about people having so many relationship issues.
