Is it just me or does any other SAHM feel the same??

It’s literally so depressing not having literal friends to come over and visit with you and vice versa.
I need adult friendships or just a couple friends in general who I can call or text. Being home all the time is suffocating at times especially today, for me.
I don’t have friends cause I don’t go anywhere lol I don’t drink every weekend like most adults I know.
I’m home 24/7 with nothing to look forward too, to make it worse the weather here is crappy. I just want a genuine friend who doesn’t judge my life cause I’m a nonjudgmental person myself. I’m honest, open and blunt!! I long for a mommy friend who has a 4 yr old daughter too. Someone who don’t mind just taking walks just to get outta the house. Or take the kids swimming or something. This is just sad! Lol sorry for the long post yall 😭😭

I was the same but I found a local group on Facebook and they host events like drinks and walks and stuff and I decided to just go on one and it honestly helps having that to look forward to

I know this feeling or even my sisters I don’t really talk to. I’m planning my wedding and it sucks.

Same. I don’t drive either so I can’t really join mommy groups that meetup at different places. I FaceTime my cousin who lives in a different state and my parents visit on Tuesday nights. But mostly I just look forward to the weekend when I can do things with my husband and daughter. I do have one friend who works weekends now so she’s visited twice so far. But it is hard!

I feel the exact same way 💔 if you were in CT I’d say come over for a play date! 🩷

You can message me if you're ever bored. Unfortunately, you're far to hang out..

Omg I could’ve written this myself! Where do you live???

Awh I actually feel the same way 🥲 I am a new mum to a 4 month old boy, live out in the country with my two dogs and don't drive 🙃 partner works full time and when he is home sometimes he may as well not be 🙈 so being stuck out in the house can get a bit cabin fevery 🙈 I don't have a big friendship group, never really have and the friends I do have work full time, busy with their own kids or lives across the water🥹 people keep recommending baby classes etc but it's so hard to organise transport and also I'm not a big group kinda gal, anxiety goes through the roof and brings back awful feelings about being bullied by groups of girls in secondary school 🫥 so yeah it's very lonely, I feel ya girl 💕 xx

Bestie where are you?!

Hey I really need to make some friends being a mom is so lonely. Distance does not matter to me (I can’t see waves)

If you DO NOT buy things second hand, it is mainly because:

Answer only if it applies to you.

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

I’ve loss it finally

Is it just me?

I’m 35. I have a 21 month old and i’m 5 months pregnant. I have no friends. Everyone has either drifted away or ghosted me. I don’t know what i’ve done but i’m so lonely now. My best friend of 20 years has ghosted me and i’m heartbroken. I’ve tried to reach out to other friends but never get anywhere. I don’t know how to make new friends. I honestly just feel so alone.
