Any single mommas in here

As of today I am a single mom, we may try again later down the road but this is where I’m at right now. My emotions are everywhere, I’m stressed.

Being a single mom is the best imo 🫶

thankfully we still get along great as friends, the relationship part just wasn’t working. I’m just scared. I’m going to have to move back into my parents temporarily. We are going to remain in the same house for a few weeks so I can get things situated, sleeping in separate rooms ect

He works so much he won’t be able to see our child every day which breaks my heart

I’ve been a single since I’ve been 4 weeks pregnant. It’s tough, but you got it. This will show you strength you never knew you had.

Yessssss single mom here. We made a decision 2 mths ago and we are actually getting along great lol. We will be moving into separate homes

how do you handle being the only one taking care of your child EVERY night all night

how did you handle the transition? It’s weird being in the same house (for now) but sleeping in separate rooms

It’s definitely hard but I get it done. My mom helps where she can. I hate having to ask people for help so I try to do it all myself. I have full custody of my son, I didn’t put his dad on the birth certificate and I love that I make all decisions myself.

It’s actually been good. We talked and basically agreed on everything. As far as daycare and how will he get her on weekends or every other. We both just need our space. We still play and crack jokes. When you both know it’s not going to work out I mean there is really no need to be mad at each other

we still joke and stuff too. I feel like it’s just going to be a rough transition having to move and eventually not seeing my kid everyday

It will believe me. But we have to do what’s best for us, we can’t make our kids comfortable if we not happy 💖

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.

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

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 ☺️
