Who’s ready for a supportive community in S Seattle ?

Look I know everyone is busy, I am too, and a lot of times overwhelmed by life as a single mom who is coparenting with someone who definitely caused me most of my stress in my life.

But I really really want a community here.

It’s been hard to find a mom friends but I have not lost hope, I have this vision of a supportive group, one that allows us to be ourselves and not only laugh but also cry and help each other out and just have dinner together and stop by just because and not make a whole event out of it. I want the kids to play in the backyard while the parents relax and chat or cook or do some housework together.
I get stuff comes up but I want a community that’s reliable and supportive whether over the phone or in person. There needs to be some level of effort, compromise and reliability to make it work though.

I have been ghosted more on these apps than I have ever been on a dating site to the point where I wonder if most of the messages I get are from bots. So I sat with myself and asked what did I do to contribute to this? Are my needs too specific? How am I not showing up? And I think the answer is I wasn’t consistent on here either, I’ve never ghosted but I haven’t put consistent effort in finding and creating the community I want.
So my intention is to check every single day for 2 min for one month to both put an effort in but preserve my energy if I don’t see traction.

Caveat is, I am looking for people close to where I live to make meetups more realistic and have a few common interests at least (like art / spirituality/meditation) and a boy who is around 6/7 with hopefully some interest in wrestling or similar ( just accepted that’s who my son is interested in playing right now no matter how much I try pushing otherwise but I’m hoping to change it later or if enough people gather it won’t matter)

I’m willing to host a get together at my house near south Seattle at least once a month, do some art with parents and kids or just play etc. after an initial play date :)
Who’s ready?!

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?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.

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.
