This is a safe place to toot your own horn about something that maybe you hold back because it can be a touchy subject. We are celebrating personal achievements, not diminishing those who didn’t achieve the same thing.

I can’t take a shower without baby crying brush my teeth or eat in peace being a single mom is taking a toll on me.

How important are manners to you? One of my biggest annoyances are people not saying “Please” and “Thank you”.

Anyone want to get on FT and vent to one another to gain insight and perspective? I know it sounds cliche however a journal doesn’t always do the job when the amount of stress is increasingly overwhelming.💕

Hey mamas! Putting myself out there in hopes of finding some new friendships. I just got out of a 7-year relationship and am in a season of rediscovery. I have a 5.5-year-old daughter who is my world, and I’m also navigating life as a former teen mom with an adult child. I recently stepped away from case management...

How are we managing working with hg? I can’t stand for longer than a few minutes at a time and really struggling 🥲

I have one gorgeous boy that’s 11 months and one beautiful baby girl who’s nearly 3 months (premature baby who came 10 weeks early). Feel like it’s lonely out here🥲. Anyone else in the same boat? I keep hearing it will be worth it in the end but damn I’m exhausted!!!xx

Feeling imposter syndrome as I’m back to work but so much has changed at my company and it feels like I’m starting over in a sense. I don’t feel I’m adding value anymore and feeling like I am easily dispensable now after being away from work for 4 months. Hard to concentrate too because mom brain after baby is so real

I know the easy answer is to write them down as they happen but I forget when I'm in a state. I need to come up with a list fast because there were things I forgot to tell the mental health team because I didn't remember even when being asked questions

I feel like it’s probably from trauma but the anxiety I have about leaving my children alone with people for even an hour is outrageous. I either know too much or too little about someone to feel comfortable letting them be alone with my kids. Only about 8 people I feel comfortable with and even that’s iffy. My ki...

Anyone else feel like their baby dad just doesn’t look happy with them anymore?

Nearly 2 years in and so unbelievably desperate to get a break. Every single night is the same. 3 hours of sleep. 5+wake ups. Dad tries to settle but I have to hear MAMAAAAAAA screamed all fucking night. I hate this life so much. I’ve tried everything. I hate it so much. I don’t want to do this anymore but nothing w...

When ladies post for reassurance because their LO can’t do something (eg walk, say words) please don’t comment saying ‘mine does marathons but…’ or ‘mine can recite the entire dictionary but….’ It isn’t what they’re looking for and it isn’t helpful! Sorry to moan but I feel so bad for women (and myself) who want a...

Sometimes I just need a minute to cry or breathe even. I'm so lonely everyday for 8hrs a day just me and the baby alone. I fractured my sacrum so I'm in dyer pain everyday. My in laws live 15 min away and never even bother to ask to come sit with me or hang with me even if it's just for an hour. My mom's like 2 hrs ...

I didn’t realize how much work it was having a child. I miss getting up and doing what I want to do and not being stressed out. This is so hard.

How do you guys find just a little time for yourself? Even if it’s just to the gym for an hour or 2, I have hardly had any time to myself to do anything since my daughter was born last January, she stays at my in laws every Tuesday and that’s now become date night for me and my partner which is great but honestly so...
