My village is missing

This is a late night vent session obviously but l make it short. My boyfriend and I went to a basketball game in Orlando. His sister was babysitting our son. We come back tonight for her to say he slept for 6 hours and just woke up. Now what type of shit is that. I’ve been feeling lately like no one cares for me or helps out in the way I need them to. People want to see you smile but don’t try to find the cause when you’re not. I’m an only child and my mom lives far. I feel very alone even with the dad involved. I feel alone and like I’m doing it all. I can’t even imagine having another kid which I want but this life here is tough

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Missing ex

Need help and inspiration rn. How did you stop wanting your ex back or wanting them to contact you? It’s been months with little contact. I feel like I should be over this by now. I keep having this dumb glimmer of hope that we will be a family again😔

Anyone finding this incredibly isolating?

I've had my second (premature but coming up to 1 month old) and it's hit me how isolating being in the newborn trenches are. I'd love someone I can message silly stuff to during the two am feeds or see while we cuddle our bubbas.

I have amazing friends but all their kids are older (same as my toddler) or they're just in a different period with their second.

And it's also isolating despite having a community. Does that make sense?

Pregnancy loner

Why do pregnancy feel so lonely 😫

pregnancy loneliness

i’m genuinely feeling so lonely. no one sees me. no one puts any effort in. i cannot seem to make new friends and it’s putting me in a deeper depression than ive had in a long time. idk how ill manage this

Those without a village..

Do you ever wonder what it’s like to be so loved and cared for by lots of people?
I have 0 support in my life, I have 3 kids, 1 being tested for autism, I’m going through a rough breakup which will ultimately end up being a divorce and not 1 person has asked how I am. My mum, my brothers they know what I’m going through but no one offers any support emotionally or even asks if I’m doing ok.
I see people doing pregnancy announcements and it makes me emotional to see how happy people are for women and how supportive and loving they are.
I just really wish I had that some days. The few friends I have leave me on read for days and don’t seem to be bothered to make an effort. Just makes me so down

Help a mama feel better

Anyone else not enjoying the newborn stage? I’m really struggling and I feel like a bad mam for feeling like this, can anyone relate? Baffles me when people say they want more than one when I’m over here struggling with one 😭
