Struggling

Anyone else really struggling at the minute? The days seem to go by so slowly and I feel like I’m not doing enough and it’s just like living the same day over again. I don’t have a lot of help from my partner and i just feel like I’ve completely lost myself.

Have you gone to any baby groups to try get yourself out and about? Maybe help break your days up abit? Can you see if your partner will have baby in the evenings even if just for half an hour so you can go for a walk? Or have a catch up with friends?

Yes you're not alone. The advice above is great but personally I have such bad social anxiety and ontop of that I feel like I just can't take my baby out alone it seems like an impossible task so it's really hard to join groups etc. If you can that's one of the best things but if you're like me at least join a few online groups of mums so you can speak to them and see how you're not alone in your struggles. Trust me it makes a big difference just knowing that it's not only your child not sleeping or not being put down or whatever else. And it also sometimes just eases your mind when you have a question and your partner isn't helpful

I feel you I suggest maybe plan some days of the week with a class or meeting a friend nothing too crazy. it helps so much I still have some alone days at home but I also try to have few days that are different and maybe a bit more challenging because I have to take baby by myself out on transport sometimes or longer distances than usual… and this has been help with confidence and day went so fast

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!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
