Yes!!!!! I ended up changing my job to a work from home job that has some flexibility to it it's the only way we could do it!!!

Literally considering doing this now but I’m already back at work. It’s been 6 weeks and my little girl will not settle at childcare, refuses food and drink and is so upset she is distressing other children 😕 I have to collect her after 2 hours every day because she won’t drink anything which is obviously impacting my work. I have no family that can help so I’m at a loss. Thinking of handing my notice in and trying to get another job when she’s a bit older or something but feel so scared to do that. Not sure what to say other than I sympathise x

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
