Mums with teens on the GC

I'm looking for mum friends with teens here on the Gold Coast. My teen daughter who is 16 has moved up after spending some time with her Dad, which unfortunately has left her with CPTSD.

It's with this reason we are going down the home-schooling route to help lessen some pressure. The thing is, this really restricts her from finding friends which is needed. She is missing her Melb friends.

I also have a 5 year old girl as well but since moving up here I haven't really put myself out there to meet many friends myself.

If anyone has teens and would like to connect that would be great. Or even ideas of how my daughter could meet some friends up here.

Thanks so much

I don’t have a teen (I’m about to be a FTM) but I moved here from Darwin fresh out of school as an 18 year old knowing no one. I’d recommend social sports and part time/casual work, that’s where I met people my own age! I played social netball at Ashmore Indoor Sports Centre (I had never played in my life!) and you can simply join another team, just send an email. It’s also pay as you play, no signs up etc. I worked casually at Zambrero and also made quite a few friends in the same age bracket, with most staff being from 15-22 roughly.

I only have boys. Oldest is almost 14 and still more in the "girls are gross" kind of stage 😂 the other two are 8 and 14 months. But good luck! I've been hoping to meet people with kids around my oldest sons age as well because most of my friends only have younger kids. It's hard out there for mums of teens!

Hi Kiandra,
I have two teen daughters and one in her early twenties.
My teens are 14 and 17, and would be keen to meet your daughter. My youngest is now homeschooling and would love for her to meet people to do homeschooling activities with.
We are based in southern gc but can drive anywhere.
Feel free to reach out 🙂

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Spicy chat

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

(If you’re going to reply please keep your responses respectful and polite.)

What happened to Zainab

Hey guys haven’t been on here in a sec! Just come to realise I haven’t seen any posts / comments from Zainab (I’m sure that’s her name 🫠) hoping she is ok , I’m sure she was a Mod but can’t seem to find her anymore 🤔

Vitamins?

Does anyone do vitamins for their one year old?
Just seeing if it’s worth trying as the never ending colds and illnesses are battering our house 😂
