Imo it's hard period after high school 😫

Agreed with Ashlee

Girl I’m only 22 and it seems so impossible 😩😭 I always be like “let’s hang out!” And get the whole “definitely” message and never hear back from them 🥲

I believe I have a hard time

Yes agree @Rebecca like I been trying too meet or make friends but it seems impossible especially when I see friendship posts lol I be sliding in the dm like let be friends but after few chat no reply again lol I give up

It’s hard when people don’t reply but we all have lives & kids. Like am I the only one thinking I got ghosted? 🤣

Girl me all the time sometimes I be like it’s something wrong with me 😂😂😂😂

Girl same🤣🤣

I dont get it. People seem to be super interested in making friends, but then aren't willing to put the effort in to make the connection

yes and I be like what the point of making a post about you wanting a friend but you don’t respond to msg I mean come on but I guess is the new world we live in

facts

It’s definitely hard for some odd reason.. Hey Veronica!

I believe so too

how you end

Hard to make friends at all now that we’re adults

absolutely not lol…I feel the same

Well I live in Va beach if anyone wants to meet up & be friends 💕

I will keep you posted anytime I come that way, we have to stay in touch. Used to lived in Newport News years back

Nice! All are welcome. My baby girl is almost 2, so we love play dates

@everyone who close by let go for a drink next weekend and it my birthday too lol I don’t know anything about this place

Where are you close to?

Dc, Woodbridge Alexandria Springfield all are like 15-20 minutes drive

I moved here (Fredericksburg) and I know this so well. They say let's hang out sometime and nothing. I dont do the club scene so if anyone wants to get together otherwise, I'm willing.

My child and my fiancé are my best friends but the moms I know from church and playgroups are major support

yeah I met a friend who lives over there we trying to catch up sometime next week we let you know

same here but I sometimes what to get out of that like but it’s hard

I’m 20 and its hard to make friends. Such a blessing when I do

Am I in the wrong?

So my MIL has been weird with me from day 1. My partner and I fell pregnant within months of seeing each other so we understood her reaction to me being pregnant was never going to be positive.

She then started going through a divorce when I hit the 12 week mark and we moved out, she didn’t reach out for a couple of weeks but we assumed she was just busy with lawyer stuff so didn’t pester. However weeks then turned into months etc. my partner would text his mum and she’d ignore the texts.

I was 8.5 months pregnant when she decided she wanted to come back. She apologised to us both directly for being absent my entire pregnancy and explained she was depressed, struggling etc. we decided to forgive her and let it go.

Our son was born August 2023 and the first year of his life she was present and a great grandmother to him, don’t get me wrong she was still “off” with me like whenever I would speak about my son she wouldn’t respond to me, she would come over and not really engage much with me, make snidely comments about me going back to work at 5 months PP despite the fact I’m providing for her son to be a stay at home dad etc but I just thought I’d be civil for my son. We got engaged in October 2023, she didn’t congratulate us.

January 2025 she started being VERY OFF. She deleted me off all social media’s for no reason, blocked my number. My partner asked why and she said she didn’t like me as a person. So I decided from then on if she wanted to see our son my partner would take him to her.

The rest of 2025, she was very inconsistent. We would ask her to take our son as she usually would and she’d say “can’t I’m dying my hair today” and silly excuses. We then had 4 miscarriages that year and not once did she send condolences or offer to support. It got to August, our sons bday and she got him 2 of the same gifts we did - she came to our house and I said aw it’s okay these things happen no big deal. Her mood changed and when my parents arrived my son got really excited and she left. She then text my partner that night saying my parents were rude to her and turning our son against her? 😂 he’s 2!!!!!

My partner had enough and had a go at her, saying no wonder my son was excited to see my parents when he sees them every 2 weeks. Since then she went in a mood and stopped speaking to us and visiting or allowing my partner to visit.

We fell pregnant in August 2025 and this baby has stuck. We shared our pregnancy with family and she hasn’t contacted us. From August to Feb 2026 she was radio silent, hasn’t asked for our sons at all. Ignoring texts.

Today, she has contacted my partner to try apologise and worm her way back in, I told my partner I’m having none of it and she won’t be seeing our son or new baby as she yet again has disappeared for over 6 months for no reason which isn’t fair on us or our son as he’s getting older and more aware!

Am I being reasonable? The way I see it is if this was a parent acting this inconsistent and being deadbeat they wouldn’t be allowed to run back in.

When our daughters are grown

Are we teaching them that circumcised boys are dirty and unclean?

Bi curious

I’ve been with my partner 3 years, when we have sec i always orgasm, he makes the effort to make sure I do, but it’s probably cause I’m always thinking about a woman 🤦🏻‍♀️ since having a our baby 8mo I feel it’s become less maybe once a week and more of a chore to him, I just don’t feel desired or wanted enough, feels laboured and boring, I buy sexy outfits, toys to spice things up, and never say no to his advances but they very few and far between, it’s mainly me making the moves, I do love him but I can’t get the thought of having sec with another woman out of my mind 😫 helppppp, UK W.Yorkshire

You’re at the check out and notice the cashier gives you senior citizen discount. You’re very clearly under the cut off. Would you be excited for the extra savings or offended?

Turns out Monday morning at my Kroger and the lady slipped it in without saying anything. This has happened to my mom before and we were both obviously happy with a random discount but one of my sisters in law said she’d die if that happened to her because she’d be so embarrassed 😂
