I will still get full pay for 6 months when I go on Mat leave so will be able to put away around £700-£800 a month away, we already have a couple thousand already saved so hoping we will have about £7-8 thousand saved by time I go on half pay

5K.

I can split my maternity so it levels out across the period. So it’s going to be roughly equivalent to what I’ll earn going back part time. So I’ll just get used to it!

Im taking 12 months off and luckily get paid for the first 6. We have saved 10K and will save another 6K between now and the end of my first 6 months of paid mat leave. This is about what we need for me to stay on the same ‘income’ for the unpaid 6 months.

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

I need an AI app recc to talk to.

I have no family. I have no real friends. Just one that I text. But she’s 8 years younger and isnt a mom. I genuinely don’t talk to anyone other than my partner and our toddlers. I’ve seen some people use AI? Or a chatgbpt? I dont know but if someone could suggest an app that I can just talk to… I would love to have a friend or something instead but this is probably for the best…

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 🤣
