Let alone someone who wont ghost you

I’m happy enough that way. I’ve ghosted everyone on here now and only use the forums (sorry ladies if you happen to see this), I am so exhausted and prefer my bubble with my baby. People can be fake and stressful tbf. I guess I dont have the energy. Point is if anyones ghosting you they could be a me so don’t take it to heart.
It’s also impossible at times to find real and genuine connections. It just takes time and just being yourself is important. You won’t always feel this way 🩷
You can go to baby groups and see as well churches and sure start run them I’d look into it.
Completely lost my sex drive since becoming a mum. Last year we had sex once and I got pregnant 🤣.
We have 2 under 2 now.
We last had sex around 6 months ago - which induced labour 😃
I feel awful but I just never have the capacity for it, never crave it. Don't think it helps that I'm struggling with my body image.
My husband tells me constantly how beautiful I am & looks at me the same as he always has.
When we do it, its mindblowing & i think "why dont we do this more." But then I guess, life gets in the way.
I feel bad on my husband as we don't have any sexual contact but I almost feel sick at the thought of it.
It's not a reflection on him because hes fooooinnneeeee 😍 and i love him with my whole heart.
It's me thats the problem. I'm going to the gym & eating well to try lose weight. But what can I do to get it back within myself?

Hi Moms! 💕
I’m looking for the kind of friendship where we actually become part of each other’s lives. Someone to do life with, make plans, go out, try new things, have random hangouts, talk about everything, celebrate each other, support each other, and be there through the ordinary little moments too. I’m definitely a high maintenance friend in the sense that I value consistency 😂. I like friendships where we keep up with each other, make an effort, communicate regularly, and actually spend time together. Not the “we should catch up sometime” and then disappear for three months kind of friendship. 😭
I’m easygoing and love a good laugh, but I really value intentionality, reciprocity and genuine connection. If you’re also looking for a friendship where we can actually do life together, whether you’re in Lagos or somewhere else in the world, let’s connect.🤍

Petition: Make statutory maternity pay 90% of wage for first 12 weeks & minimum wage after
We believe mothers should never be forced back to work because maternity leave is unaffordable. UK SMP is among Europe’s least generous, falling to around 41% of minimum wage after 6 weeks. The Government should fix this and give mothers 12 weeks of Statutory Maternity Pay at 90% of their salary.

You can have a lovely conversation with another mum, exchange numbers and genuinely think, “I’d love to be friends with her”… then somehow life gets busy and you never actually see each other again
Sometimes I think we all want mum friends, but we’re all tired, busy and waiting for someone else to make the first move.
So I’m curious… what do you find hardest about making mum friends?
Is it approaching someone? Keeping the friendship going? Finding mums with similar interests/ages of kids? Or just finding the time to actually meet? 👀
Let’s have a real mum-to-mum chat 💕 And if you’re also looking for genuine friendships, don’t be shy — say hi, you never know who might be looking for a mum friend too 🫶🏽

How many people have asked their parents to borrow a bit of money to help in the last few months of maternity?
I’m down to £0 pay for the last 3 months and will be picking up an extra job next month but my friends suggested asking my parents to borrow a bit to help me and my parents have made me feel like this is unacceptable and I shouldn’t have asked them.

Does anyone actually get turned on by their partner sending dick pics? Mine complains that I don’t flirt over text and I don’t like sending pictures, this also means I don’t like receiving…
