You’re right, motherhood can be so lonely. I think we all feel that way sometimes. Drop me a message if you want to chat x

My boy and I go to the baby and toddler group at Malpas Road evangelical church every Tuesday that runs from 9:30 - 11:30am, it’s just £1 and they have tons of toys and serve toast for parents and kids! You are more than welcome to come along! My boy is almost 4 months and we have several other babies of similar age if you’d like to come meet us x

It can be really hard moving to a new area and motherhood can be really isolating too. I'm not to far away, up in Monmouthshire. I haven't lived here that long either so know what it's like. Feel free to message me :)

Hey! I live in Newport feel free to private message me be happy for play dates etc x

I'm in Newport wales, I'm due any day but 3 of my friends have moved over and have babies maybe we could catch up?

I feel similar to this! I’ve moved to a new area not too far from Newport (Monmouthshire) and don’t know anyone here or any other Mums yet. I get a bit anxious over baby classes but would love to meet some others in the same position! It’s hard isn’t it xx

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Go to dinner ideas

Looking for recipes you use in your family that are not the traditional lasagna, shepards pie, ect

If you DO NOT buy things second hand, it is mainly because:

Answer only if it applies to you.

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️

Hiiii!

Hey yall! I’m Mahala and socially awkward as hell. I’m looking for other moms to connect with to hang out in person or on FaceTime. Drink coffee while the kids destroy the house. Literally anything. Making friends is hard in motherhood when you don’t know how to talk to people. I’m pretty low maintenance friend and we can talk whenever. And I’m down to do anything within reason. Let’s chat!
