Does anyone else just sit and have a little cry because you realise you actually have no friends and it’s just you and your baby all the time?

Awww it’s definitely hard hun inbox is always open xx

U can message me ☺️ im going thru it rn

Yep! Just lost my one and only friend as constantly letting me down and couldn't take the upset any more x

Yesssss! You feel like you are your only kind and almost not human at times. Kind of like your robotic and just were designed to do things and not have a personality anymore. I get thissss I get this hard. Hang in there mamas

Inbox is always open ❤️

Yes. My kids are 10 & 5. Husband works 24/7. No family around closest is 4 hours away. I work full time so I have work friends but we don’t talk or hang out outside of work. And they all have kids who are older than mine (teenagers)

Im sorry you're feeling this way. I noticed all my friends vanished after I became a mom, but I don't mind personally. I love spending all my time with my little girl. I do somewhat miss going out for dinner and drinks at times.

Yes just me, the baby, and my fiancé. It sucks sometimes when you wanna do something with "the girls" and then realize you don't have any anymore

Just a few minutes ago . I thought my husband was going to a guys night and then today found out it was couples and him ..

I’m in the same boat!

I have absolutely been there. You can message me at any time!

Yes! I'm a mom of three and my friends without kids seemed to gradually disappear after I had mine and the ones with kids are busy doing their own thing. I love my kiddos but sometimes, I just want to actually sit through a meal and have a nice adult conversation without having to constantly entertain kids or play referee 😒

Yes , this pregnancy I realised all my friends were work friends and now as I am on maternity leave I am in the same boat . Also I keep comparing this pregnancy to my previous one when my Mom Dad were in Sydney . The last few years were terrible for me as I lost my Mom and Dad . Sitting at home with a baby and toddler during lockdown I can’t help but go down the memory lane , feeling very very lonely .

Yes! How I’m feeling today, just lonely & blah.

Yes :) I’m 24 and have 0 friends they all dip when you have kids it seems

I literally just joined this app cuz i 100% feel this lol

Same here 👋

It’s so hard! I felt like that for a long time. I started putting myself out there more, making events in mom groups, inviting people places, going to absolutely anything I was even vaguely invited to. It was hard, I’m not a social person generally, but meeting people that I’m not friends with honestly changed my life for the better.

I feel the same. I tried different apps to find female friends and they didn't work. I feel the same way though.

Yes.

Yes huni your not alone x

Why do we as women do that?

Yes! It sucks

Yes

Absolutely.

Aww, hon, I feel for you. If you ever need to talk feel free to reach out x

I feel that way too...that's why i am here...😏

I can relate.

Yesss 😭 I wish I could like this 100X. That’s how I feel 99% of the time

Yes!

Yes unfortunately. I really dislike beating myself up about it, but after I let out the cry, I actually feel a bit better 😊

I can relate!

All the time

Exactly why I went outside my comfort zone and downloaded this app.
I am super friendly , easy going , stay at home mom and always down for girls night : brunch whatever as well as play dates but seems whenever you reach out, no ones ever around.

Absolutely! Do not feel alone. I am sure that there are many moms that can relate to you. I too downloaded this app in hopes that I could meet some great moms! Stay strong mama and know you are not alone.

All the time

Hey mama I see you! This is such an awkward phase.

Yessss I feel like that everyday. Esp when my son stays the weekend with my mom and I'm home like what should I do now. My best friend is gone lol

Definitely! This is how I feel most of the time

Yessss, u are not alone. Stay strong things will get better ❤

I'm lonely but for different reasons. My "babies" are 19 and 15 and don't need me in the same way as they used to. My world used to revolve around my kiddies and now it's pretty much just me and my husband who ignores me

Yes, I feel that all the time. But stay strong mama for our kids ❤️

Yup absolutely all the time for most part it's just me n lil un x

Where are you based? I’ll be your friend xxx

Yes everyday

All the time

Yeaaaah i feel that too

It’s not forever it gets easier to make friends once they start school x

Yes, I feel this so much. And I cry about it often. I just want my little man to have friends. And if I get to make friends too, than thatd be awesome

Ok this makes me feel so less crazy. I thought I honestly was the only one. Then I think damn, how can I be 35 and having what feels like the onset of a midlife crisis!!! The heaviness that comes with loneliness and too much routine is unbelievable! Always here!!
