Hey fellow mommies, I’m a young single mom with an 1 year old. Doing everything alone living off one income.. is there any tricks or strategies any of you may know to help with finances? I feel like I’m always behind or trying to figure out what to put next. I’m trying my hardest not to sink and have a budget plan where I don’t have to stress about the little things like gas or food.. help please!

Hello, have you tried contacting Job & Family Services to see if you qualify for WIC (women in crisis)? We have this in Ohio, not sure if you have something where you are.
Also, look into local food panties- some have fresh produce and really help during the month. Churches can help with utilities and rent.
When I get taxes or any extra income- I forward pay my electric/gas so there is a credit so it’s not as hard to pay those bills if money is tight for the month. Also, if you do get back taxes sticking up in TP, pull-ups, wipes etc so you don’t have to worry about those purchases. Where are you located?
I was due to return back to work on 30th November but today I received a phone call asking if I would be happy to go back on the 9th November instead.
I dont know if I am ready or not yet even though its a few weeks early. It is a nursery setting so my LO will be coming to work with me.
How do you know when your ready?
Any advice on what to do in this situation will be great as I currently feel lost and dont really have much to say about it all because I just dont know

At what point do people stop having sex or it becomes too uncomfortable?
I’m 21w and over the last 6 weeks we have maybe only had sex once or time and it’s just to uncomfortable.

Maybe it’s just me but everyone’s profiles are like “ looking for mom friends “ , i then match with people I think I would vibe with just for us to have conversations and it’s either one word replies or one sentence come from the other person or no questions/ follow ups nothing. The conversation is like talking to NPCs.
I try to have actual conversations based on their profile so it shows I have interest and we can get to the point of being able to hang out in person and sometimes I get completely ghosted and it’s just like are people actually on here looking for Mom friends or are they just looking for a penpals??
I would actually go and hang out whether it’s for dinner, Lunch, walks in the parks, Anything as I truly do believe in community. But I don’t know maybe it’s just me lol I’m just excited about this new journey in my life and want to share that with like minded women.
