I don't drive but my husband does. We drop the kids to nursery and school on our bike then come home to work. We both WFH most days but go into the office once a week each.

I do drive but I find it extremely stressful. He starts work at 9, I start at 8, so he'll be dropping the kid off and I'll finish earlier so I'll be walking up to pick them up 🫤

Here in Aus anyone can teach us how to drive, as a learner, as long as they have their full license- we only pay for the testing, the actual day we are going for the test w a professional driving instructor. So as a mum my daughter has her L’s- I’m the one teaching her drive and to get her minimum 120hrs in. She’s never paid for one driving lesson. She only pays the day she goes in to get her P’s. Can you ask anyone that you know, to teach you or get your hours up? (Is that how it works in the US?) Back then, Hubby did the same w me I got my L’s, I drove w him in the car, got my 120hrs, when I’m ready and confident I book and pay to get my P’s.

Hey not sure where you are located. But some of the daycare’s here have a pickup and drop off service to your home. Is that a possibility

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!
