When did you go out without baby?

I cannot bring myself to do or go anywhere without my baby girl. I wasn’t like this with my first, but my anxiety has intensified with postpartum and I can’t shake it off. I haven’t even gone to the nail salon because I don’t want to leave her 🥲

Am I the only one? When did you first leave baby?

Any tips? I know deep down this is probably not healthy lol but I can’t help it.

Start day by day. Maybe going out just for 15 min and increase it from there!!!

Me and my partner left the baby with his mom last night and once last week for a few hours over night I was abit worried but I had fun

ok I’ll definitely try little by little. That seems more achievable 😅

My little guy is 4 months now and the longest I’ve left is for occasional 2 hour stretches (for a workout class, pedi, grocery shop), and he is only left at home with dad. Neither of us are ready to leave him with someone else to go out just the two of us. We love our third wheel. ☺️

so glad im not alone ! She tagged along for our anniversary dinner too 😂 going to work on bringing myself to go get my crusty nails done 😅 thank you 🤍

He came to our anniversary “dinner” too! He passed out on the boob and we enjoyed the extended nap (we went at 2pm 😂), mom had dessert AND a decaf espresso martini.

I am currently feeding him and soon to be nap-trapped, wondering if I’ll have time to paint my crusty nails tonight (yes, it’s sadly come to this!).

I just started with him in the carrier or stroller walking to stores nearby like target or vons or even just around the apartment when he got older I started taking him to places like the park, we play loud or adventure playground

I left my baby girl at home with my sister for a date night (1.5 hours lol ) first time 2 days ago and I was on the phone with her nonstop 🤣. You definitely are not alone

Thank you ladies for the encouragement and tips! 🤍🤍🤍

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

What happened to Zainab

Hey guys haven’t been on here in a sec! Just come to realise I haven’t seen any posts / comments from Zainab (I’m sure that’s her name 🫠) hoping she is ok , I’m sure she was a Mod but can’t seem to find her anymore 🤔

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”
