Lucky! I applied for mine last year and received nothing

Yeo xx

it’s only Wednesday and Monday was a bank holiday. So you’re probably looking up until next Monday to receive it x

It’s working days, so you’re only on day 2. Next Monday is day 5.

you wouldn’t of had it yet it only classes working days so it’s been the weekend plus a bank hoilday Monday so latest you should get it is Friday x

Thanks everyone 😂 xx

Yes

What’s this? Does everyone get xx

Goggle maternity grant, will tell you if you can get it. X

@Katherine if baby is under 6 months I believe you can try again but don't hold me to that. X

yes anyone can apply. First child £500. Second child £300 I think.

Is this only for people on UC ?

only if you're eligible, so you have to be receiving benefits. For example if you aren't right now, wait until you start mat leave and if you become entitled to UC (and there are other things too) they'll grant it to you but you need to be claiming already

not just UC, there are a few different things, I would recommend looking into what if any benefits you're eligible for when starting Mat leave & then if they align with the maternity grants eligibility. Google "maternity grants" for full info

I got the payment guys!

Look up The grant if haven already x

Hey, how long was the time frame from that first text and second text? (28day text to the second text you received)😅

How long after you posted your letter did it take for them to contact you?

I sent my matb1 and grant forms off to DWP on 22nd of april. I received my matb1 back on the 29th of April with a note with it saying they are reviewing my application (no texts). I then received a text yesterday morning saying I have been awarded the grant and would get it in 3-5 working days, along with my decision letter within 5 working days.

I was already claiming one of the benefits listed so I didn’t realise there were requirements. I automatically received it. At least I know now. Thanks hun

So…….

So question
Do yall think 🤔 that texting other men/women online is consider cheating? Or do you think cheating is just physical and texting?

Hii💗

Looking for a friend to chat with
I do have Snapchat: gbaby582
Pls let me know if you add me on there😊

Gay relationships or transgender people being mentioned/ shown in children shows and movies

Are you uncomfortable with the topic of either being in children’s books or shows?

be careful who’s on here

This is supposed to be a space for moms and children. I just came across a profile named “Rebecca” that openly said they’re on here because they feel lonely and want to talk to mom . That does not sit right with me at all.
It was a man with a half ass wig and beard. We do NOT know people’s intentions on here, and there are kids involved. This is not a random social app — it’s meant for mothers and a safe environment.

Am i a shitty mom

My son is about to be 9 months, and we currently live with his dad in a duplex. He doesnt work. If he does he works maybe 3 days and finds an excuse to quit. He says its not worth his time for what they pay. I work sunday through friday 5 am to 1:30 and i cant make ends meet. When i was on maternity leave he let bills rack up crazy and i had to use my whole retun to pay off the bills. And now ik the asshole because we obly jave about 200 dollars till i get paid again on the 18th. This is what he had to say when i complained that we wouldnt have had to use all of my return of he wouldve ketp a job that was perfect for our schedule and for our commute. He quit the job because they obly paid him 18/hr and he wasnt gonna do the job pf a machine for soemone who smokes a vape( he hates people who vape and his manager was doing so). Am i a shitty mom if i take my son away from his dad and run to harbor house? I just cant keep with financial abuse. I try everything to keep us above water and he just spits in my face about it.

Does anyone else ever feel like the “disposable” friend?

Like you show up, you care deeply, you try to be there for people… but the moment you can’t give 100%, it’s like your value drops. Like you’re only needed when you’re strong, available, and pouring into everyone else. I’m the kind of person who responds quickly and will continuously be there. I just feel like it’s not reciprocated…

I guess I’m just wondering… how do you know the difference between outgrowing a friendship and just going through a rough spot?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s felt this way 🖤
