Help!!!

I’ve been struggling with my hair for literally years. I know I have some type of curly but I don’t know exactly what. I’ve tried the cheap methods, expensive treatments, cheap shampoo, salon grade, I’ve tried it ALL. Ive washed it daily, every other, and gone a week between washes. I’ve done getting it trimmed regularly and also just letting it grow. Nothing helps. Everything I’ve done I’ve given at least a month of trial. It won’t grow past just below my shoulders and is always dry and frizzy. I’m fairly certain it’s something with my hormones but never have investigated much. I went to a holistic nutritionalist for a while and constantly complained about my hair but never saw much change. I’m currently 25 weeks pregnant and have seen no difference (positive or negative) since becoming pregnant. I’m really trying not to style it with heat daily but after not doing so for about a month, maybe more - no change and I’m tired of not feeling confident in how I look. Any thoughts??

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.

What’s wrong with men?…

My boyfriend and I have discussed in therapy multiple times and have agreed, I will have sex at least once/ twice a week, where I will initiate. I have mentioned before how much of a chore sex becomes because if he doesn’t get it, he’ll treat me mean the next day. This is why we agreed to what we agreed on, sex once/ twice a week. If he wants anything more he will have to initiate, which he hates doing, and understand that I’m not horny 24/7 like he is. There’s times I’m just not into it, but I tell him take what he needs to for himself. He says he hates taking from me. Ok, fair.

We have had sex three times this week. This morning he tried rubbing me and I was not into it. So he got upset. I’m a SAHM, he pays for everything. This morning before he left to work he says I’m not loving him, & then proceeded to say I just use him for money. & walked out. I was initially upset about the comment cause wtf?

I just got a haircut yesterday.
I hardly ever spend anything on myself, it’s always for the kids.
I’m just annoyed. & irritated. & he just keeps coming to me today trying to argue about shit that I have no energy to argue about.

I just need to vent cause I’m so fucking annoyed.

Lube recommendations

Can anyone recommend a good lube? We tried one other night (durex) and it made my partner go floppy!!!

Put a finger down if xx

you only ever had sex with one person, only ever kissed this person, been with them 8 years and are still currently with them, started a family and now wondering if dating or having other sexual relationships would of been beneficial to a long term relationship in terms of experience ✊🏻

I just need a genuine friend during this time..

A genuine friend that totally gets it, is what I long for. Yes, we may get busy from time to time but when we get back together the energy never changes. Our kids play together and possibly grow up being best friends, when we are both wrong in a situation accountability and communication is never an issue. Just a hug, sitting back in the yard talking about sweet nothings and probably end up crying about anything.. Why is it so hard to find that?

5 months postpartum..

I’ve gained a lot of weight and my body is stiff from carrying my baby all the time. I am told by everyone to get fit again but I’m struggling to figure out where I can squeeze a workout in? The only real window I can do something for myself is in the evening but I’d rather put my feet up for a bit than workout. How is everyone’s fitness journey going? Has anyone started? And if so, how are you implementing it?
