The men in my life are inescapable

they hold everything over me i feel like i’ve been reduced to nothing. i had a job interview today and i had to ask permission to go. i didn’t even end up going. i begged the interviewer to let me bring my baby because i have no one. i thought if i could find a way out things would get better but idk.

If it’s the dad why didn’t you leave the baby with him?

Is this your father? Sounds extremely abusive tbh. And id personally never ask an interviewed to bring your baby. That immediately tells them you don’t have childcare and will likely call in or be late often. Obv if it’s a last minute thing, that’s different.

I feel like no one wants to meet my baby

Today was supposed to be the day part of my extended family meets my baby for the first time. She’s only met her grandparents, aunts, and uncle. But I found out yesterday that Easter get together was being canceled so they can go to some kids birthday party. All their kids are grown, so it’s weird to me that it’s a priority for them. Theirs been no other discussion about meeting her before the next family event (4th of July, she’ll already be 6 months old then). No other family on either side has contacted me or my husband about getting together to meet her besides my grandma. Am I supposed to be reaching out to them? No one’s even said anything to me since I’ve given birth. Idk if I’m over thinking this and I’m still just very hormonal, but I feel hurt. I don’t know what to do. I just want to do more things with my baby now that she’s 3 months old, including meeting all the people I care about. Any advice would be great, I’m not the best at communicating.

Lube recommendations

Can anyone recommend a good lube? We tried one other night (durex) and it made my partner go floppy!!!

5 months postpartum..

I’ve gained a lot of weight and my body is stiff from carrying my baby all the time. I am told by everyone to get fit again but I’m struggling to figure out where I can squeeze a workout in? The only real window I can do something for myself is in the evening but I’d rather put my feet up for a bit than workout. How is everyone’s fitness journey going? Has anyone started? And if so, how are you implementing it?

Partner not lasting

Every time me and my partner have sex roughly once a week he lasts about 10 seconds and it’s staring to bug me now as I don’t get any pleasure from it at all . Does anyone have experience of this and know why this happens ? He doesn’t want to talk about it so the issue isn’t getting resolved .
