I would, from my daughters. Especially since as coparents and still “a team” in a sense, the ultimate goal is to be friends.

I definitely would

Think of how best to give a gift at this time though… maybe give a parenting book, a self help book, a journal, something to keep things in perspective while still honoring the holiday spirit.

I agree with what Jeca suggests. You are still a team when kids are involved. Finding something that he would value and appreciate would be a great place to start.

I’m hitting 6 months and was petty on his birthday and was thinking the same for Christmas but that’s just me

Why should you? You guys are no longer together, you are not obligated to gift him anything. If you want to help the kids pick something out for their dad, sure. But from YOU personally? I would not.

From the children, yes. You’re a coparenting team and it’s a nice white flag x

Even if your separated please try to be civil with each other. This includes being nice to each other so you can coparent. And buying gifts for each other from your child.

Nah, unless I wanted to make it an olive branch to try again. That’s just me tho.

I would get one off your children rather than you. But that's if you are able and happy to spend the money

Why are you still referring to him as your husband?

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍
