Gift for a friend

Those of you with older babies, please can I have your input?
I would like to buy my best friend of 20 years something to celebrate her daughter’s upcoming first birthday. I like the idea of celebrating her too on her birth day because she’s a truly wonderful human being. I am going to get her a bunch of flowers but I would like to try and get her something else too but I have too many ideas and I’m not sure what would be best. Did anyone get you anything on your child’s first birthday that you really loved? Can anyone make any suggestions please? I want to give something that is meaningful and celebratory of motherhood but won’t just collect dust. I’m finding making the decision hard because I haven’t reached this milestone with my son yet so I can’t use my own experience to help me. Perhaps I’m over thinking it and flowers and a card would do the trick.

This is such a thoughtful gift! One of my friend done me a little hamper of self care bits.. had some face masks, bath bombs, a new book, a new journal, a Costa gift card and a book mark with photos of me and LO.. it was such a lovely thing to receive! - especially the book mark! X

Exactly what said, a self pampering gift is such a nice touch. Mums often get looked over, so something that promotes self care and love is always nice x

You could either put 1 together with all her favourite things or 'not on the high street' or 'etsy' have lovely options x

A necklace with mummy and her daughters name.

I did this for her birthday and she wears it every day ♥️

I little spa kit would be nice . Neals yard does nice ones

We always pay for days out for all of us x

@Fizzy my sister did the same for me and I love it

Thanks everyone!
In the end I packed her a gift bag with the following:
- Two Milka chocolate bars: the plain milk and the mixed milk and white.
- A nice scented candle which I know she’ll light while she’s in the bath.
- A load of the Superdrug clay face masks because they were on offer.
- A pack of hyaluronic acid tissue masks
- A card with a nice message from me.
I know she hasn’t opened it yet because she presumed it was for her daughter so I’m looking forward to her discovering her goodies when her daughters birthday comes around ♥️

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”

Is it normal to crave my partners 🍆 in me but not sexually

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 🫠

Friend 🥺

Let’s skip to the good part and just be besties? Text, call, ft.. play dates or just simply hang out. Just want a genuine mommy friend. I’m in NW Indiana but we can be long distance besties tooooo.

Proud mom💕

First day in public wearing underwear & no accidents! We had a play date at my friend house even though I took her about every 1 or 2 hours its the fact she stayed dry, & poop as well💗
