Is this whole app SAHMs?

Trying to find friends who may not be on my whacked out shift working schedule but at least work full time. I feel like we'll have a lot more in common. Feels like 99% of the women this app shows me are SAHMs though and I can't relate. Is this some weird algorithm bent or should I just leave now?

There are full time working moms on here, but I can only speak to my own location. I think you can set your matches to only include people in the same sub groups as you and working moms is one of those. I found a much larger working moms group for my city on Facebook. Maybe full timers are more likely to just stick with an app they already use? I am a full timer but finishing up half time family leave

Im a working mom but I have noticed this too - most on here are SAHMs and want to make plans during the day so its not necessarily that I "can't relate" to them but I just dont have that kind of availability to connect. I'd guess most on here are SAHMs because working moms dont have as much time to be on their phones (before anyone comes at me, im not saying SAHMs arent busy or they just fuck around on phones all day. Im saying working moms have employers who tell them they arent allowed to be on their phones)

I used to work full time until 3 weeks ago. I hadn’t logged into Peanut in the last 4 years. I took a break and now I’m trying to connect with people here. For me personally, I was completely exhausted and had no energy for a new connection

Advice please on where I can report my employer

This morning I had to call an ambulance because my 2 year old went pale and was struggling to breath. They came and gave him oxygen and steroids. They said it was a pretty bad case of croup cough and booked a follow up app later on today to see if he needs another dose of the steroids. I called my boss (the owner of the small buisness) to tell her I won’t be coming and she went crazy on me saying she has a life too she needs to take her kids to swimming class and make dinner. I’m shocked at how she reacted and compared her situation to mine. In general that place is really understaffed and I’ve been working for weeks without an actual day off, we also get lunch deducted from our pay but we have to eat while working due to being understaffed. I’m currently pregnant and because my son was ill the past few days I’ve not been sleeping so today I started hallucinating and felt like I’m gonna pass out few times during the day. I am so mentally drained from this place being toxic and I feel like I can’t quit cause I won’t get any maternity pay later on, I’m thinking to report her but I don’t know where

Making Friends As A SAHM

Why is it so difficult to make lasting, ride or die, bestie friendships as an adult let alone a isolated SAHM. It feels defeating. It’s even harder when you’re an introvert on top of being isolated. Has anyone else experienced this?

Long term friends

My daughter is 8 and she just has such a hard time maintaining friendships. She isn’t into boys yet and she doesn’t like to be sassy or mean at all and unfortunately she hasn’t been able to find many friends her age that don’t just bully her ☹️ I’ve tried meet ups I’ve invited people from co ops I’ve taken her to church classes and other gatherings and I’m such at a loss. Any advice?

Struggling

Does anyone feel like they are not cut out to be a stay at home mom?

Birthday/Christmas Presents

I'm struggling with what to buy for my baby. MIL has taken my idea to buy baby a rocking horse and has already bought her that for Christmas (another story) so feel like i need to get something better but I'm struggling for ideas. Can anyone help?

Anyone else self employed?

I’ve applied for maternity allowance and got my letter through today saying I would get the least amount. However I also got a letter asking me to pay towards the national class 2.
I have now done this but just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and if they then got the full amount after paying the cost they asked for. Thank you!
