Socially awkward moms

I want to join a mum group but I’ve heard they can be toxic. My daughter is nearly 6 months old. Should I wait until she’s older?

I just posted something and I thought it was anonymous when I did. Tell me why I look at it like thirty minutes later its public and a bunch of random people saw it Idek if anyone who knows me saw it cause the account is linked to my profile but I wanna scream of embarrassment rn omlll

I’m looking for mom friends. Not just the kind you occasionally say “hey” to or like each other’s posts, but the kind of friendships where you can genuinely be there for one another.

Motherhood can be so beautiful, but it can also be incredibly lonely. Especially at night, when the baby is finally asleep, my husband is at work, the house is quiet, and I realize just how much I miss having people around me. Sometimes I just want someone to talk to. Someone to laugh with. Someone who understands without me having to explain every little thing.

We don’t really have a village. It’s just us, and while I’m incredibly grateful for my little family, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel lonely sometimes.

I’m not looking for perfect friendships. I’m looking for real ones. ❤️

Someone I can text at 10 PM and say, “Are you awake?” Someone who understands the exhaustion, the messy house, the mom guilt, the overwhelming days and the beautiful ones too. Someone to grab coffee with, take our babies for a walk, have playdates, vent without judgment, celebrate each other, and remind each other that we’re doing okay.

I want friendships built on kindness, honesty, support, and no judgment. I want us to be able to show up as our imperfect selves and still feel accepted.

If you’re a mom who has ever felt lonely, wished you had more friends, or felt like you were trying to build a village from scratch too… maybe we’re looking for each other. 🥹💕

My inbox is open. No awkwardness, no judgment. Just two moms trying to find a little more connection in this crazy season of life. 🤍

So I always envisioned myself having 2 kids. However, to make a long story short, I have PTSD from my pregnancy with my son, and I have told my husband I just don’t feel that my body could physically or mentally could endure it again. But I’m scared of my son going through life alone once my husband and I pass and dealing with guilt of not having a built in best friend (I have a younger sister and we’re very close). If you are an only child or have a large age gap with your sibling(s), can you share your story to hopefully help me out? My husband and dad are both only children, so I never wanted that for my child(ren), but also I have a lot of trauma to deal with and lingering health issues from my pregnancy (I was high risk).

Hi all sorry to bring it online but I am first time mum my little boy is 7 months and where I do love him so so much I just can’t help but find myself feeling so so alone, I go to 2 play groups every week and struggle to actually speak to anyone as I feel so out of place I’m struggling to admit to anyone how tired and exhausted and overwhelmed I am as everyone says how good my baby is and he is but I’m so tired of being the only one who has my hair pulled face grabbed and scratched and it just feels it wasn’t like this at first, and as my boy got older others just distance themselves more, I try and reach out arrange him to meet family and friends have always be told they are to busy, I’m trying to ask my partner for help to still get bothered when I try and take for myself he’s coming every time he makes a noise should I make a bottle should I do this should I do that so I just don’t actually get to do what I want to, I feel horrible for letting my baby play with his toys on his own for a few moments, I want to try and make friends where I can complain and not feel bad because my boy is generally a good boy over all, where I can just be tired and moan where I can get out more
