Anyone else go back to work after being a SAHM and miss it?

I’m a wreck right now. I was a SAHM for a year and then went back to work a month after my baby turned 1. He’s 1.5 now and I just miss spending so much time with him. I’m so sad and depressed and just want to quit my job and stay home again.

Social Life?

I feel myself isolating into motherhood. My beautiful 7 month old is all encompassing to me. Caring for him and soaking up our time together coupled with working full time makes a social life very difficult to maintain. & if I’m being honest with myself I don’t feel too inclined to maintain. My friends are either al...

Hypocrites 🤨 If you have defended or sat silently throughout the last 15 months of Bidens administration committing gen0cide why should anyone care what you have to say about Trump, Elon or Vance? Your criticism could be valid but

It’s not coming from a place of integrity or education. All the liberals coming out of a rosy 4 year comatose to suddenly pose as antifascists is insane. You’ve proven to stand with one of Americas two tyrannical parties instead of just opposing tyranny.. why??

How to cope with no support network?

Am I the only one with no support network whatsoever? I keep hearing stories of other women struggling and they still have friends, family, or some kind of support network. I have no one, absolutely no one. It's anyone else in the same boat or am I the only one? How does one cope?

Does anyone else have no support network?

Does anyone else on here have literally 0 support whatsoever, as in no family, no friends, no one at all to help, or is it just me? Everytime I see fellow mums struggling, they always always still have a social support network of some kind.
