I’m happy, I have the family unit I’ve always wanted but sometimes (usually when I’m ovulating🤣) I fantasise about my past life and being single and the fun times I’ve had if you get what I mean. Does anyone else do this? 🙏

I may be feeling a bit sensitive lately, but I find it quite stressful when people ask to meet now that I'm over 37 weeks pregnant. I truly appreciate my friends and enjoy spending time with them, but I’m feeling very tired and would prefer to avoid public bathrooms at this stage. It’s becoming challenging to come u...

How did you adjust to stay at home life? I’ve only ever worked and am at home as a first timemom. I find it hard to be grateful for this chance. Every day is the same and it’s lonely. Any grandparents to be apart of the village all work full time. I have no siblings or friends near. So it’s really just me and the ba...

Is anyone else doing pregnancy alone and really struggling? The loneliness is unreal, especially seeing others doing it with their partners or the judgments I’m getting for the dad walking away 🫠 I feel like a lot of my ‘friends’ don’t bother with me now I’m pregnant too which has been really upsetting

Maternity leave is definitely not what I thought it would be. I thought I'd be out all the time with friends (I have a couple of friends who had babies similar time as me) but they never make the effort or time to do things or just forget to reply to me so it's just me and my LO all the time and while I love him I j...

I just feel like since I’ve had my daughter I’m never invited out anywhere anymore. Some of my closest friends go drinking every weekend it seems. I went out and did bottomless brunch with them but it just wasn’t for me just felt pressured to down my drinks. I said I would happily just do day drinking where it is mo...

I’m pretty sure I’m experiencing prenatal depression or on the brink of it. I’m generally a positive person who sees the bright side of things or tries hard to pull myself out of funks, but between the lack of friendships, emotional support and unhappiness with my current living environment, I feel drained and lik...

So I started a new job at a coffee shop. Haven't worked in 5 years cause I've got 4 beautiful kids. So new beginnings. Today a customer was so rude to me I had to excuse myself and started to cry in the kitchen. I'm 31 years old and I still cry when people have a got at me 😅. Am I too sensitive? Is there a way to…

Hey guys i have a 4-year-old and now a 6-month-old. Sometimes I feel like I'm struggling to give my 4-year-old enough attention because my 6-month-old also needs me so much... it's so hard to keep them both entertained- how are people getting on...I'm exhausted

Anyone feel like they're not doing enough with their little one sometimes? I feel like I've failed in so many ways and she's not even 2 yet 😢

A couple of my friends who don’t have children, I feel as though our relationship has really changed and it’s getting me down. I’ve tried talking to them about it but the last time I did I had a comment that really hurt me saying “I’m making it all about me”, which I’m really not, I’m just trying to voice my concern...

Ever since having my baby girl, I’ve realised how lonely I am. The friends I had have disappeared, I don’t have siblings, no great relationships with cousins etc and it has made me feel so isolated and depressed at times. I worry I am setting my daughter up for the same loneliness in the future but the thought of ha...

Does anyone else feel alone during this pregnancy even though you have an actively involved partner. There’s just some things they don’t understand and it makes you feel so alone. How are you dealing with this feelings because it’s driving me insane?

I’m 32 and I find myself feeling so unattractive. I barely look in mirrors anymore because I just see all my flaws. I pretend but it’s exhausting I feel so ugly.

Anyone else feel like since being pregnant all of your friends have just left and avoid you like I never knew how lonely it could be without your close friends obvs I have my partner but my closest friends have just stopped talking to me and we stopped going out and doing stuff I’m so grateful to be carrying my litt...

without sounding dramatic is anyone else getting fed up, emotional & feeling generally drained mentally as well as how physical it is being due any day? i’m 39+2 & feeling fed up of being in wait just in case and find myself very emotional over small things or feeling down in the evening i think im just ready to ...

Anyone else start bawling out of nowhere when your partner leaves? It’s never been a problem before but I hate it when he leaves now. I just want to be around him😭

My oldest is almost 9 and my youngest is 2. I became a sahm mom when my oldest was 1, when my second was born (who is 7.5) and have been ever since. I love getting this time with them, but I feel now more than ever that I’ve lost myself. I have no hobbies. No interest in doing anything just for me anymore. All my fr...

Hey so this is really awkward for me🥲 but I’m just going to jump right in…I wanted to make a post in hopes that someone relates. So, I’m 28 and I don’t really have friends. Okay scratch that, I have a lot of associates— people I know, people who know me, but very much a “popular loner” if you will. Idk. But I don’t…

Anybody else terrified that something could happen to their partner like get a bad illness or them passing away I could be happy and the thought of something happening always takes that awayZ Comment are welcomed and appreciated 🩷
