Maternity Pay

I am receiving payments from DWP as I am self employed on maternity leave but have now worked over 10 keeping in touch days and need to let them know to cancel my payments but can never get through on the phone. I think I’m going to have to write to them but do I list the days I’ve worked and will they check these as I think I’ve gone over - some days just doing a couple of messages to clients etc and some actually working but only for a couple of hours or so 😬 I’m scared if I inform them and they check I’ll need to repay some and I can’t afford to do this.

Made these hoagie rolls with crockpot chicken Phillies

These were so yummy!

Do you mind your partner watching porn?

Right, I want no judgements lol!
So, was doing morning feed with baba and he went to sleep. My partners phone was glaring at me, I trust him 1000000% in no way would I think he would cheat, but if I’m being real I’m a nosey mf and like to have a snoop🤣.
So first I read his and his mums chat, nothing exciting, a few minor comments from his mum but nothing I’ve not heard before 🤣.
Then I decide to go through his photos just to see if there’s any of baba on there that I haven’t seen. Lo and behold there’s a few porn videos on there.
Me and my partner last had sex when I was 4 months pregnant, I’m 5 months pp now. We’ve done things but I’m just scared of having sex now, I’m scared of the pain, of it feeling different and getting pregnant again but tbh that’s a whole other story lol!
What I’m getting at is I feel like I should be annoyed but I’m kind of not as I know I havnt been having sex with him and people have needs.
Would you be annoyed?

8 months pregnant and my boyfriend hasn't told his kids

I (26) and my boyfriend (35) accidentally got pregnant after only knowing each other for 2 months. I think he's the perfect boyfriend, small gestures, grand gestures, wants to have the hard talks to improve our relationship, ex. However he's rather on and off with me. We will have 3-6 weeks of a good steady relationsip before he needs space that will last 1 day to couple weeks.
Fast forward to today and I am now 8 months pregnant and despite him showing much excitement and support for our baby he still hasn't told his other children that they will be getting a new half sibling. I've been trying to be patient about it cause I know it is a hard topic but it seems pretty late to be telling them. Any longer and it won't be you're getting a new sibling, it will be surprise their already here.

Husbands

What kind of gifts do yall get for your husband? I have no idea what to get him he kinda already has everything he wants😭

Friends

I feel like I’m failing my kids it’s so hard for me to make genuine friends. I have a few childhood friends sure but they’re not mothers. I can’t seem to make any friends for my kids and I don’t want them to be a loner. Everytime we go to the park I’m being told by my son how much he can’t wait to play with his new friends 😔
