From childhood to adulthood it’s always been an underlying fear

Before kids it was a lot of the same thing over and over day in and out but with kids it’s like 10 day in one. I feel like a robot and a really bad one because I struggle to keep up with everything. I tried to make a joke with my husband last night in Costco and he was just serious. We were talking and it fit in per...

Completely exhausted. Have always thought that I would have 2 children, and I still would like to. Well I like the thought of it. But u actually don't think incould survive it. Having my year old son, who still doesn't sleep through the night, and the thought of adding another baby. But it makes me sad this might no...

There are moments of pure joy, and moments of absolute chaos. I’m trying to be gentle, patient and responsive but I was the mum trying to stuff my child into the pushchair today 😭. I should have been a bit more patient but forget everything in the moment sometimes.

Does anyone have harder days now they are getting close to two I had a really easy baby so finding some days really hard like I’ve lost them My husband has the best fun but I do feel like the walking punchbag sometimes I’m stay at home mum with no support so things do just get on top of me sometimes please tel...

Anyone just feeling a bit lonely with your newborn each day? My baby is really hard to settle and I don't get much sleep so I'm tired which makes it harder to settle him. I just spend my days rocking him and crying to myself! Just feel a bit sad and everything feels hard. Does anyone else feel this way? Wish I had s...

I never thought being a mum would be this lonely.. I thought I’d have more friends to do stuff with, every one with kids the same age ( just turned 4 year old and my august 2022 baby) as mine are back at work full time. I am also back at work full time but work nights so have a lot of time free in the day!

So, I feel as though I’m always in this stuck feeling of depression. And it just won’t go away. I have moments of feeling Iike I have everything together but I don’t and at home I feel so lonely even though my boyfriend is right here and then I also have moments where I’m like am I being good enough as a mother! Or ...

Those of you with grumpy babies who cry ALOT do you ever leave the house? In recent weeks my happy baby has turned into such a grumpy boy and I just feel like I can never go out because I can’t bare to hear him cry in the car, and it’s mortifying him crying in public. I miss leaving the house, I feel so isolated and...

Dose anyone ever just feel extremely alone. I know I have my baby and I am never really alone but being in this apartment all day alone and then going to bed alone every day and night I’m just really tired of feeling this way.

I found my husband on top of another woman and I didn’t leave but it’s eating me away slowly. Women who didn’t leave how did you cope with yourself? I need help because I don’t see myself leaving.

My dad passed away in June and I didn’t find out till November due to estrangement. I always held out hope that we would be reunited. Now I’m pregnant and while I have a great support system around me it hurts that my dad will never meet my baby. My moms partner is happy to become a Pop Pop and while I’m so grateful...

Moved my bd out the way so my husband can find me 💕 I’m so happy and feel so free. I’m a single mom with 2 girls, in my healing era & can’t wait to have my happily ever after and give my girls the best life 😊

My baby could play up to two hours sometimes by herself. I don’t really leave her alone but I feel like it’s too much? Am I wrong? I feel terrible. Like I should play with her more. I do but not 2 hours at a time.

So I feel really stupid as im so clear on what i will or will not allow in terms of my boundaries. But sometimes I can not help but feel bad for the person who's on the receiving end, let's say. Even though I know all of my boundaries are totally reasonable.

Why is it every time I want to see a friend or have a friend round my partner is too ill?! And I mean every bloody time!! 😔 Another catch up with my bestfriend cancelled tonight, which was already rearranged as he was also not feeling well on the last time. 😢 Planned for two weeks and then he rocks up from work (2…

So I’ll admit I had my first baby young I was 18 still in college and had my second at 21 I’m now 25 and feel like I haven’t achieved anything or hit any of the goals I wanted to I love my children and I have no regrets in having them but people keep telling me I have achieved something in having children but chil...

I thought after having a baby, my friendships with my friends with kids would strengthen. Instead it just feels like I’m chasing everyone and putting myself out there and no one else is reciprocating. Most have children the same age as mine. So I just thought it’d be natural to see each other more, not less. Just ti...

My daughter is two and a half. She is my world and I wouldn’t have it any other way. But since having her I feel like I lost who I am completely. It’s been so hard for me to find a job and I honestly feel like I’m good for nothing. The only thing I’m good at is being a mother. I love being a mom, but is that all I’m...
