Since having my son this past March I’ve started to notice that I’m no longer close with some of my friends. We don’t talk like we use to. They rarely invite me out and for the most part I didn’t care about not being invited to brunch or other random activities cause for the most part I am busy. But they’re planning...

I love my baby but I’ve never been a stay in the house all the time by myself everyday type of girl. Being a SAHM is taking a toll on my mental and I wish I had more friends.. which I’m open to making on here but it just seems like all these women like the idea of making new friends but conversations and plans don’t...

I'm not sure of the point of this post, just to say I'm really struggling being back at work. I've been back since May and work is so busy and demanding and I've really struggled to settle back into the job and reconnect with my colleagues. In a way I'm trying to think this is a good thing because this is definitely...

I know they all start the same “I love my husband but” and I really do.. BUT 😂 We have a 1 year old and I have recently went back to work. All I do is clean, do laundry, cook, tidy the list goes on. Nothing exciting happens in my life, the most exciting thing that happens to me is when I get to wash my hair twice…

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

I'm missing my ex. Please help me stay strong and not go back because all my family and friends would disown me and be mad 😂😫😭 I'd rather him here and have a spoon but tbf he wouldn't even come to bed if I asked for a spoon 😂 it's so lonely now he has gone but it's what I wanted

I feel like a lot of my feelings of self worth are dependent on a lot of other people & their approval of me. I was raised in a mentally and emotionally, and sometimes physically abusive household. And I’ve taken treatment I shouldn’t have just so the person wouldn’t leave me or hate me even if it’s crossing my boun...

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?

I just want the old me back AND still be a mother! Like is that even possible? 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 love being a mom bt that’s not all I am o...

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...

I want to try hobbies because well I never really have one before but I am afraid of not being good at something right away.

I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook and instagram. At Christmas time especially I feel like I’m falling short compared to other mums. I’m a SAHM and my partner doesn’t earn lots of money but we get by and usually I’m not bothered and happy with my choice in life but can’t help but feel sad that other pe...

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...
