I literally mounts and mounts of debt . Getting treated so horrible by partner and his family and only staying with him because if I leave financially I will struggle on my own . I just wish I never had this baby because then atleast I can save the money I would be paying for childcare . I’m so mad at myself

I'm feeling so alone with my 2 year old. She won't have her dad do anything for her. She wakes up Alot at night and he refuses to get up and help as she just cries for me so he doesn't see the point. I work aswel as he does so I'm spending each day like a zombie and he's getting his full night's sleep. Just feel so ...

Has anyone else since having their first baby just get annoyed by their husband. Mines makes me not want to have another kid with him 💀

How do people cope with literally no one. I went to the hospital the other day, the doctor asked if there was anyone to pick me up and I have no one. I try not to cry about it but it's hard another Xmas/birthday with just me and my 2 kids. I feel like nobody cares, it's just hard this time of year

Any other single moms feel shitty seeing others with husbands etc when they have been abandoned by family, partner etc and doing it all alone. How do you cope?

My Husband & I said we were gonna grow our family again in 2025 because we want another kid bt I find myself having panic attacks at the thot of loosing my identity even more with another child!

I’m 27 but I feel 20 sometimes. I live on my own with my SO currently a sahm but we’re not in a great place financially. I’m always comparing my life to others who seem to have more money, more experiences, better spouse, better jobs, and just seem to have it “all together” I use to have one friend, now I have NO fr...

Does anyone else not take their kids out much by themselves? I feel like a terrible mum.. I have 18m old twin boys and I just find it so hard to take them anywhere, even for walks, I just have 0 energy and motivation and on top of that it's just so hard! But I always see people talking online about taking their kids...

My husband suggested I reconnect with other moms in a similar stage of life to me, but everyone seems to be so incredibly miserable that it’s compounding my anxiety. Do any of you even like your partners anymore??? We argue about all the usual small stuff and we have plenty of disagreements but he’s still my best f...

I've been around impatient people all my life which is why "patience is the ultimate virtue" in my book. I aim to practice patience daily and what that looks like for me is -waiting in a long grocery line without worry, not letting traffic dictate my mood bumper to bumper can't faze me...baby cries music to my ear...

Honestly, I don’t really know why I’m posting this. I think I just want to get it off my chest. Since having my baby and going on maternity leave I’ve lost all of my friends and feel completely isolated. It’s made me realise I don’t think they were ever truly my friends and that the only reason I was friends with th...

Hi all, just writing to share somewhere really and in case others may feel the same. I've wanted to have children my entire life, I'd think about it all the time and even my pregnancy and birth were fairly positive. I absolutely adore my LO but feel there's something wrong with me as I'm really struggling with the...

Hey mammas. Sorry for the down post but do any of you struggle with feeling low quite a bit? What do you do? I’m sleep deprived which I know won’t help and feel like the more I try to ‘fix’ sleep it actually makes me feel worse so maybe just need to accept it and hope it will get better soon. I feel touched out...

I’m the first out of my friends to have a baby, and I’m finding it so difficult to talk about how I feel/the difficulties of early motherhood when they just don’t understand and give such crap advise. It’s not their fault, and i get that, because how are they to understand if they’ve never experienced it, but it’s s...

I’m feeling really anxious about having a lack of support system here for when the baby comes. We moved from South Africa to London about 2 years ago and have no family here at all. We have friends but none that feel like family and that we know will be there for us in the early days with actual hands on support. My...

Saturday night as a SAHM is lonely. I miss my friends and my free time. And money is tight when my partner is the only one working. I thought I’d be the mom that would just take my baby out with me, but we are at 13 months old and still not sleeping through the night. Routine is crucial. We can’t leave the house pas...

I have a 4 month old son that I love to pieces however since becoming a mother I’m feeling as lonely as ever. My partner works long hours and I have no one to look after my son. Where I go my son goes. When my partner isn’t in work he pops to pub to see his friends leaving me parenting. I’ve got a few friends (many ...

I’m sad and just feel like no one cares about me. I try to reach out to people and people respond minimally. I just feel like everyone is so busy with their own lives and I’m always the last thought. Idk I’m trying not to fall into the poor me attitude. My partner doesn’t call and I barely see them. My sister cancel...
