Struggling

Hi all, so my boyfriend is currently in turkey for 2 weeks and I’m really struggling being on my own with our 1 year old daughter, I just feel like I’m failing as a mother I’m trying my hardest but I’m really struggling I just can’t stop crying I miss him so much, how am I supposed to cope for 10 more days, has anyone else gone through this, it’s so annoying because I just think would he be out there all emotional because he misses me? Absolutely not, I keep worrying about silly things like him cheating on me ( even though he’s on a family holiday) I’m just so anxious at the moment and feel so depressed 😔

I’m sorry you’re feeling like this. My husband goes on business trips every couple months, usually to the US. This time he has been gone for 10 days and it has felt long! I have a 2.5 year old and a 10 month old.

I fill my diary up and have a plan for each day. We go to soft play, go to the play ground, have play dates. We also go out for dinner once or twice, so the playground and then an early dinner at pizza express etc.

I also eat with the kids so I don’t have to eat alone. And I binge on my tv shows!
I believe in fake it till you make it. It is a mindset. You can do this and you are doing the best you can. Yes you might need to cry for a minute but then remember your little family and that it won’t be long!

Its never good sign when people go abroad on there own in a realtionship ... even if its part of there job they basically can get upto what ever they want I wouldnt go out or marry someone who has there lives spending it away ... yes people say its about trust but its not it means they want two lives wife or gf that does everything whilst he goes does what ever work gamble sex drinking partying money showmen ship fighting all them factors then they get family style as well they think its okay but you can't be family person if your spending it separately... you might aswell be on ya own how much are they helping as family dad or mum you have to ask yourself would you do that yourself to them ... would you go abroad and leave your kid with just one parent expecting that one to do everything .... your better been with someone who you can rely on and trust and respects what family means ... I know what this feels like I do but you got make them realise they had child to and they should be the one that also

Has to take responsibility as parent to be there question yourself .. would you do what they done weather its holiday or work related would you go leave then expect other parent to do all the hard work no it takes two to bring child up ... why would you go on holiday abroad when you have 1 year old

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?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
