School drop off/pickup ups

What is wrong with me that I hate those? On one hand I am missing the connections with other moms and this would be a perfect place and time to meet someone, but I hate it. I feel awkward quietly waiting for my kid while others chat, and if I end up talking to someone, conversation goes nowhere and I feel even worse..

You're not the only one!

Definitely not just you! My kid is old enough to ask me why don’t you talk to any of the moms?😩

I didnt start talking to other moms until my baby had a birthday party or like my daughter told me about the other girls she was friends with . But it was definitely the parties . And shes 7 😂. So it took a few years .

I would just focus on the parents your daughter is actually friends with. I’m not a social person but sometimes it is putting yourself out there and getting numbers for play dates. Even then my daughters best friends mum I feel awkward around. Ironically the dad I have a better relationship with as both girls do swimming together.

You’re not alone in this. I’m usually just there looking for my kid but I do notice the other parents are all already friends because they have older kids the same age. My daughter is a social butterfly 🦋 so it forces me out of my bubble

Probably tmi but it’s driving me insane. I’ve got like the most itchiest vagina but seems to only bother me at night, thinking it was thrush but no discharge… anyone no any natural things I can do or is this normal?

Missing my partner even though he’s right there 🥹

Has anyone else felt like this?
He has 4 weeks off work with me and baby, we’re just over half way through and have spent all our time together so far and I still have this feeling of missing him.
Baby is breastfed and is cluster feeding at the minute, we love our little boy so much but I feel a little stuck under him at times.
My partner and I are over 3 years in and have always been obsessed with eachother, baby was planned and is so loved but it’s a big adjustment isn’t it 🥹🩵
