Sometimes I feel resentful that I chose to marry someone with a child . Loving the child is easy . Dealing with the coparenting is what’s stressful . Not having a say in arrangements but then still being expected to live on their terms . I’m ashamed to say that I’m feeling disconnected because I’m always living wait...

I can't stand when you ask someone if they can do something for you and they do it but yet complain or Bxtch as if they didn't want to in the first place. If you didn't then you should have said something. Nobody made you do anything. Ugh erks my nerves 🙄

How do you get around with the baby? Uber, public transportation? I have a 3 year old and no car I want to visit friends and family but I feel like so much can happen but I never leave the house

Anyone else feeling it? Particularly anyone with a toddler? My girl just turned 3 and I feel like I miss her so much even though she’s with me. I can’t give her my full attention and it’s killing me.

Hi ladies, I feel a bit silly writing this but I'm just feeling a bit down in the dumps at the moment, can't seem to shake it off. I know how lucky I am to have my lovely family and home but I just can't seem to stop being a bit of a bloody misery! I'm missing some the freedom of pre-child life and LO has been str...

Hello lovelies. I find myself really struggling going back to work. My job is senior and very technical and requires a lot of built up knowledge which is always changing. Since being back I feel like I have forgotten everything and although people are being very nice I feel completely overwhelmed and useless, whilst...

I'm sure I get lonelier everyday. My little girl is now 6 months old and I can't believe time has gone so quickly. My puppy is about a week away from being 8 months old. It's not that I don't have stuff to do it's the lack of people I have to see. I have my partner with me everyday after work and I'll chat to people...

Anyone else feel like they don’t do enough or go many places with their little ones?

Anyone else feeling wierd after delivery I think maybe I just need to talk to someone I don’t have any friends right now and maybe that’s why everything is so bottled up inside. Let’s talk about anything here’s my baby I also have a 9 year old and 6 year old.

Anyone else missing their intimate moments with their significant other like the hugging, kissing and cuddling have taken a back burner. Like saying I love you just isn’t enough. Maybe it’s because my love language is physical touch. I just miss the closeness we had before the baby was born. Sleeping in shifts doesn...

I feel so very alone. I’m a single mom of 2 and my life is so routine. I have no real time for myself and when I do try and plan something it feels like I have to do the most (find someone to watch them, drop them off/pick them up). I find myself crying everyday on my way home or in the shower. I would love to have ...

I’m 38 weeks pregnant today, I’ve got 4 days to prepare for one of the most important presentations of my career, a potential hour long interview 2 days before I am due, I’m putting my house on the market as we’ve found another (but WAY more expensive) house we’re not even sure we can afford, I’m a mum already of a ...

The isolation of maternity leave is really getting to me . How are people coping ? I have never really had close friends, my colleagues I get on with but as no more then colleagues. It’s always been just me and my husband, which I was fine with . But now I’m not working , I used to work as retail manager so my job...

As the breadwinner and career-driven person in my marriage, I was always hesitant to have children until I was “ready.” Well that day finally came and our little boy is almost 5 months old… I started back to work 2 months ago and I just feel… so not myself. Has anyone else found it so difficult to return to work...

I'm probably just struggling atm but I'm just so sick of the fighting, the chaos and the absolute lack of being able to do anything or even spent a minute with one without the other causing chaos behind us. And no, no, I do not have a village, so suggesting getting help is useless advice.

I'm struggling with always putting the effort into mum friendships and not getting it back. I've made some wonderful friendships all on here some for almost as long as my little one has been here (now 2) as returning back to work or childcare arrangements changed I've always made the effort to still keep in touch, t...

Since having our little one I feel like we’ve grown apart. I’m literally finding every other male attractive but my partner. We argue a lot and the lack of sleep and stress has put a massive strain on our relationship. If we’re not arguing we are not speaking to each other or constantly annoying each other. I become...

I just feel extremely alone and overwhelmed. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of mom friends in my life that can relate and I can talk to 😭

Haven’t had a bad pregnancy but I still feel alone like it’s just me in this or maybe it’s just me. I can be hurting and no one realizes it, I can be hungry and no one ask am I hungry, I can need a body rub and no one does that. Cleaning or taking care the kids specially when they sick and I gotta sit up all night w...

Anybody else been experiencing extreme FOMO and jealousy of your childless friends when they are going out all the time? I didn’t really do anything before I had my baby, but at least I could have if I wanted to. Especially with Halloween activities going on, I’m feeling super tied down, which obviously I am. I woul...
