Does anybody else feel like this?

I still haven't made any mum friends. I go to baby classes, and it just feels so awkward. I feel like there are lots of little groups already. The chat on this group gets me through the day. Not sure my partner can bear another discussion about our babies naps.

Mum friends

Isolated

Anyone else feeling kind of isolated? My little one is almost 5 months old, I have an amazing partner and I really don’t know what I’d do without him. We don’t have any family that helps us.

Space to share

Anyone else feeling lonely, isolated and overwhelmed even though our journey in this newborn phase has been 2 months++? It's been an up and down journey for me.

Do you care about your credit? I can’t lie these last few years I stopped caring about my credit because it got so bad & I don’t even have student loans or anything but rent & car payments came FIRST.

I understand needing credit for purchasing a home, getting approved for things but trying to catch up on other debts is not worth the stress to me anymore. Just trying to survive & make sure I can afford living at this point.

Going Out

How do you mummy’s time going out with your little ones? I always want to go out and about for a walk but I just feel so overwhelmed with leaving alone. Do you guys feel more comfortable leaving when they are awake or whilst napping? I don’t know why but I always feel so anxious.
