How to make friends?

Hi ladies. My name is Kim and I'm 36 years old. I have a 17 year old son and a 13 year old daughter. We have just moved here to finally move in with my partner, who has twin 6 year old boys.
I have moved from Longreach and know absolutely no-one in the area. Not one person 🤣
I'm basically looking for an entirely new group of friends, which is so totally daunting at my age!
A bit about me as a person. I am your typical country girl, I'm a cowgirl not a horse girl though. I ride motorbikes and an old 4wd. I'm not up with trends but do have a lovely modern home and have alot of pride when it comes to my appearance (out where I'm from you still dress up to go into town... usually because you're covered in dust and sometimes cow shit 🤣)
As a friend I am an empath and good listener. I love to have a good laugh and a few drinks.
My kids are my world but I also have learned that this mama needs some of her own time, because I am a hard worker and don't stop very often.
I'm looking for some like minded people who don't care for gossip. I'm a no bullshit person but I also have exceptional integrity in communicating in a respectful way to the people I care about! I am an equalist, and not judgemental at all.
I'm into rodeos, cars, camping, 4wdriving, hiking, exploring the countryside, walking, going for coffees/brunch.
Are there many women out there in a similar boat looking to make friends?

Yes! We just moved from Roma. Exactly the same boat. Hardly know anyone and the kids are older now so finding it more difficult to meet people. I have 4 kids aged from 16-10.

Hi! I moved to Toowoomba not knowing anyone to be with my now husband (11 years ago 😂) so completely understand how daunting it is. We live in Kingsthorpe so close to Oakey! Have similar interests to you however I’m a wannabe cowgirl as I know nothing about horses/cows growing up in Brisbane 😂

who here scoops the 🩸 out when they’re on their period???

was having a conversation with my friend (we’re both on our periods rn) and she’s a “scooper” which is when apparently some women when they start their periods go up in themselves and scoop all the uterine lining out so their period is only like 2-3 days long. I AM NOT A SCOOPER i never heard of it before this but it makes me curious to try and wondering if anyone else does and likes it or what 😆❤️

Friends?!?

So I've been on this app for a hot minute. I've talked to alot. Connected with even fewer. I am a full on mom. I have makeup..but do it sparingly. I let my hair do it's own thing most of the time. Putting pants on that don't stretch is a chore I don't need in my life. Fashion is ok but I choose comfort. I choose coffee and herbal teas over most alcohol these days. I do love a good glass of red wine thought. Hehe. I love dark humor. I laugh when I'm not supposed too. I am awkward and think my jokes are funny when they are not. I also have anxiety that I contestantly fight. I cuss like a sailor and I'm NOT an esthetic mom or perfect. I make mistakes daily. I also read alot including, but not limited to, dark romance and I have long before booktok became a thing. If I sound like your cup of tea with most of my flaws out on the open, message me. Peace love and health to yall.

Need advice

Me and my partner have been together for quite some time. But throughout my pregnancy He really started, just letting me down. Not being the partner I needed and not really being supportive. So during that process I've kind of just like started losing feelings and having resentment towards him. Rcently, he started work again. Which means I only see him once a week. And sometimes not even that, so it's just me and the baby.
So, any advice on how to like bring the spark back in our relationship, or if it's even worth fighting for? I love him and I want this to work, but I just don't know what to do.

Anti-social

Hi, has anyone become very anti-social during their pregnancy? I am 37 weeks now and I just don’t want to speak to anyone other than my husband and 4 year old. I am usually very social and love having family round so this is not like me! Has anyone else experienced this in pregnancy?
