They said it was a pretty bad case of croup cough and booked a follow up app later on today to see if he needs another dose of the steroids. I called my boss (the owner of the small buisness) to tell her I wonāt be coming and she went crazy on me saying she has a life too she needs to take her kids to swimming class and make dinner. Iām shocked at how she reacted and compared her situation to mine. In general that place is really understaffed and Iāve been working for weeks without an actual day off, we also get lunch deducted from our pay but we have to eat while working due to being understaffed. Iām currently pregnant and because my son was ill the past few days Iāve not been sleeping so today I started hallucinating and felt like Iām gonna pass out few times during the day. I am so mentally drained from this place being toxic and I feel like I canāt quit cause I wonāt get any maternity pay later on, Iām thinking to report her but I donāt know where

Why is it so difficult to make lasting, ride or die, bestie friendships as an adult let alone a isolated SAHM. It feels defeating. Itās even harder when youāre an introvert on top of being isolated. Has anyone else experienced this?

Does anyone feel like they are not cut out to be a stay at home mom?

My daughter is 8 and she just has such a hard time maintaining friendships. She isnāt into boys yet and she doesnāt like to be sassy or mean at all and unfortunately she hasnāt been able to find many friends her age that donāt just bully her ā¹ļø Iāve tried meet ups Iāve invited people from co ops Iāve taken her to church classes and other gatherings and Iām such at a loss. Any advice?

Hi ladies!! I'm Cassy, a 25 year old momma of one girl (she's quickly becoming a mini me) I'd love to make new mom friends! I'm in the Richmond, VA areas and I don't have any mom friends nearby. I'm happy to talk, text, or potentially meet up to vent & connect. š©·š©·

Iāve applied for maternity allowance and got my letter through today saying I would get the least amount. However I also got a letter asking me to pay towards the national class 2.
I have now done this but just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and if they then got the full amount after paying the cost they asked for. Thank you!
