Maybe I’m the problem

I’m so tired of being lonely. I’m so tired of spending all day at home doing nothing but parenting, cleaning, and working. Just to have a toddler who’s toddlering and doesn’t listen, a dirty house, and no money. My husband doesn’t understand how it feels to feel trapped in your own home and your own life cause he’s content with never going out and spending all his free time at home but I can’t take it anymore. Being 29w pregnant and hormonal isn’t helping either. I wonder if it’d be different if I had a friend to come and spend time with me but I don’t. I have “friends” who I haven’t seen since I was in my first trimester, and I have a friend who’s like a sister but she lives out of state and has her own life and issues going on to worry about reaching out everyday. I feel so alone. I try to reach out with little to no response from anyone and trying to talk to new people is hard cause I feel like no matter how much I try and I put myself out there to meet new people it doesn’t go further than literally one or two messages before I’m ghosted. Is it me? Am I not as friendly as I think I am? Am I that boring? Am I doing something wrong? I know I can’t go do fun stuff all the time cause money isn’t a luxury I have to spend outside of food bills but I thought I was at least decent company to have. What’s so wrong with me that the universe thinks I need to be and feel so alone!? I don’t understand.

I'm so sorry. I've been in your shoes as well. My bestie is in South Korea! And I've been reaching out for mom friends for a while now.

I'm having a live pod about this tomorrow night but also going to start hosting basically speed dating for mom friends on Fridays. Since going out and doing luxury things isn't an option, this may be a good solution for your situation. Ill post a link here in a minute for tomorrow's discussion and the event on Friday.

☺️ Hi

I’m tired of asking nicely… which one of you bitches wanna be friends? 😂💕

I’m a wife, mom of two boys, and teacher who loves shopping, family time, and a good laugh. I’m looking for a real friend to talk to, make plans with, and maybe take a girls’ trip along the way. If you’re looking for your person too, message me! 🫶🏽

Working parents - what is the sweet spot for hours worked?

Feeling really overwhelmed juggling my job and parenting, all the life admin etc. We don't have a support system nearby so it's just my husband and I and we are struggling.

I went back to work FT (but work 4 longer days) and my working days are intense.

Would love to hear from other mamas who are working - what hours do you do per week, and do you find it manageable?

Thinking I might need to put in a new flexible working request. I wanted the hours for the money, but now I'm not sure it's worth the stress I'm feeling daily.

Hi

Hi everyone 👋

My name’s Joan ✨ I’m 32 and a proud mum of 3 💙💚💛

I’m looking for real mummy friends — the kind who are true, genuine, and actually stick around 🫶 Friends who get it, chat about everything and nothing, laugh together, and are there through the good days and the hard ones too.

No games, no fake stuff — just real connections and proper friendships that last 🤝💛

If you’re looking for the same, drop a comment or send me a message! I’d love to meet you 💬✨

Would anybody like to chat?!

I'm a little under the weather and also a stay at home mom for the time being so I'm up for all the talks today. It's been so hard to find new friends (or even keep up with current friends) and I so miss the socializing at work. I've met a lot of really cool moms on here but not many have stuck! 😩👻 Would love to find a bestie girl to test with consistently, vent with maybe meet up with at some point. I love baking, reading, binge watching TV shows, working out, crafting. All the tingzzzz. Feel free to message :)

How long did it take for you to get pregnant after coming off the pill?

Me and my partner have decided to start trying again for a sibling for our little boy, we know it’s not going to happen instantly but how long did it take you?
