Am I wrong

Am I wrong for enjoying a night away from my baby? I have friends who would never seperate from their babies despite being really worn out and exhausted. If I get a night to myself I almost feel guilty for enjoying it, but I think I am a better mum if I am in a good headspace myself. I feel like some mums make you feel bad for having time to yourself: please tell me I’m not the only one who enjoys time on their own since becoming a mum

Absolutely NOT wrong at all!
I am ALWAYS a better mum when I have time to myself and time away from the smaller loves of my life❤️❤️❤️

ABSOLUTELY NOT! You enjoy that time to yourself! Have as much of it as you need to be able to function effectively! Everyone needs a break no shame in that! I value my time alone so much now I have the baby! I look forward to days I know I have bits to do for myself and have a break for just even an hour! Helps me refocus and settle myself 💞 don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for doing what’s best for YOU and YOUR BABY! Remember happy mums = happy babies 🥰x

Listen, I'm a mom with separation anxiety that can't stand being away from my baby. I would absolutely never shame another mom for taking "me time", you need it. I managed to get away for one or two nights and forgot how much I enjoyed being my own person for a hot minute, knowing someone else was taking care of my little guy. There's nothing to feel guilty about.

Absolutely not! I actually think it's healthy for both mum and baby to have a little time away from each other.

Helps you break the routine of being mum and enjoy a different environment and time to yourself and it also helps lo build bonds with others xx

Yes so so wrong.. 100 percent wrong. (I only say this out of complete jealously)

You're a mum yes but a person aswell, sometimes we lose that! Enjoy your break 💓

Nope you are not wrong go enjoy yourself! Me and my group of friends enjoy a Friday night out while the kids are mainly sleeping at home w their Dads. We get home at 1-2am not overnight, but it’s a good break for us. Much needed.

My village is missing

This is a late night vent session obviously but l make it short. My boyfriend and I went to a basketball game in Orlando. His sister was babysitting our son. We come back tonight for her to say he slept for 6 hours and just woke up. Now what type of shit is that. I’ve been feeling lately like no one cares for me or helps out in the way I need them to. People want to see you smile but don’t try to find the cause when you’re not. I’m an only child and my mom lives far. I feel very alone even with the dad involved. I feel alone and like I’m doing it all. I can’t even imagine having another kid which I want but this life here is tough

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠

Whyyy?

I get horny when my man isn’t around but when he’s around and in the mood I’m not. This last Thursday he made me squirt a lot for by birthday. We only get intimate like 2 times a month.

Question about ejaculation

I tell my partner to wear a condom not only for protection but also so that there's no mess to clean up when I get up to use the toilet. Is this normal?
I ask because I now have the contraceptive pill but I still want him to wear a condom.
