Hello new people! How’s everyone?

I’m currently battling the ‘oh you’re having a second boy? Boy mum! You’ll be tired!’ Joy 🤦🏻‍♀️

My second is going to be another boy too, and I’m battling the same! Plus frustrating reactions from some family members about their disappointment it’s not a girl. This will be my mother in law’s fourth grandson, and in a group chat where my husband said “it’s a wee boy☺️,” she responded, “Are you f*cking kidding me?????” I kid you not.

oh my gosh no! That’s a wild reaction! How rude 😮 Sorry you had that! I’d have wanted to say some very rude things in response 😅

People have just assumed we’d be disappointed which is so mad - we’ve even had people ask if we’re gonna try for a girl next - like, this baby hasn’t even been born and you’re assuming we’re not happy with him?! So done with it. Humans!

I’m still so angry - I never responded to that comment. I think she partly thought she was being funny. But I will never forget how bad this response made me feel. Maybe someday I’ll tell her.😅

Omg I have felt that assumption in people too! As if a family can’t be complete with only boys. So a woman should keep putting her body through this intense physical experience until she has a girl? What if the third’s also a boy? Drives me mad too! Glad it’s not just me xx

I feel like no one wants to meet my baby

Today was supposed to be the day part of my extended family meets my baby for the first time. She’s only met her grandparents, aunts, and uncle. But I found out yesterday that Easter get together was being canceled so they can go to some kids birthday party. All their kids are grown, so it’s weird to me that it’s a priority for them. Theirs been no other discussion about meeting her before the next family event (4th of July, she’ll already be 6 months old then). No other family on either side has contacted me or my husband about getting together to meet her besides my grandma. Am I supposed to be reaching out to them? No one’s even said anything to me since I’ve given birth. Idk if I’m over thinking this and I’m still just very hormonal, but I feel hurt. I don’t know what to do. I just want to do more things with my baby now that she’s 3 months old, including meeting all the people I care about. Any advice would be great, I’m not the best at communicating.

why do men do this?

Why is it that men will treat you badly, disrespect you, belittle you, and the moment you try to leave they want to be together. I’m 37 weeks and so done with my bf. I don’t want the relationship anymore and haven’t for a while. I have lost feelings for him and he just annoys me now. But he doesn’t want to break up

Anyone Asexual?

I have pretty much struggled my whole adulthood with low libido and wanting to have sex with men. I don’t have any sexual trauma. I am attracted to them. I’m attracted a lot to my husband. No I’m not attracted to women even in the slightest. No sexual orientation confusion. I’m beginning to think that I’m asexual. I need help because it’s costing me my marriage. My husband wants sex way more than I ever do. If I don’t have sex for months I’m okay. Is anyone else asexual, if so, how are you combating it? Do you take any supplements to help? Did you speak to a therapist? What have you done to save your relationships when your husband thinks it’s because you’re no longer attracted to him? I’m so exhausted with feeling like this. I hate it. I wish I could desire sex the way a lot of women do.

Does monthly income should include money I receive for my kids ?

Doing one form at the moment and have to answer this question ? Do I only state the money I receive for myself ?

Partner not lasting

Every time me and my partner have sex roughly once a week he lasts about 10 seconds and it’s staring to bug me now as I don’t get any pleasure from it at all . Does anyone have experience of this and know why this happens ? He doesn’t want to talk about it so the issue isn’t getting resolved .
