Begging

Feeling like I’m begging for friendships on here and no success.

Hello 🙋‍♂️

Begging isn't going to get you very far. Try messaging moms in your area. Friendship is built on common ground. See what you can find in common with moms close to where you live.

You have to find ppl similar to you, not easy

Same😭😭

I invite them out in the first 2w when the chat is most active, I’ve met 14 mums and stay in touch w 3-4 of them. Only chatting will inevitably fizzle out so I plan to meet her before the chat fizzles out then we can do play dates or girls nights every couple weeks. Finding mums “similar to me” means finding mums that like taking their babies out like I do.

Hey I'm here guys 🙋🙋 I live in Alabama though but y'all can message me directly I love meeting new people I'm a people person nd a huge texter nd talker ❤️

Friends!

So I see many posts of people saying they are not making friends, people taking forever to answer etc. I’m just wondering could that be the fact that people don’t want to message first? Or they just don’t match on the waves? Or notifications are not coming up?!

Confronting Cheating

I am 11week pregnant rn. He confronted this infidelity of past two years. He mentioned sleeping with 7 different women. It’s was when he traveled and hung out with his friends. And he decided to tell when I was pregnant. He counter blamed me. He said he dint cheat on me, he was not trying to hurt me, in fact he was the one getting hurt so he did what he did.

My in law are also very mean, controlling & intrusive. Which adding to all the stress. Also I have 0 support from own family. And I am immigrant and I have no friends in LA/USA.

He say he wants to fix the relationship for the baby. But his words and actions don’t line up. He ignores me, doesn’t try to keep me happy. And he lives in his own world of escape.

I feel so stuck. I feel like I have no where to go. I feel like this baby is suffering and I am failing to give him/her a safe environment. I am financially dependent.
I don’t know where to start from. Forgive for the baby. But he keeps on hurting me by ignoring me, never actively listening, stone walling me, I feel like I talking to walls, etc.

He never showed up to any ultrasound & ignores my calls.

I feel I am going crazy day by day & losing my sense of self and grounding. I have been gaslit for all these years that I can’t understand the difference between reality n my thoughts.

I want to leave him but how do I do it ???
Please help me to draw an action plan to leave him and build an independent life.
It’s so hard to even leave cus he keeps me trapped… if I want to leave he guilt trips into staying by crying and if I stay he shows 0 interest/efforts in doing the very basic work that a relationship needs..

Plus I keep getting flashbacks of the cheating and all the lies of all these years I feel I am such a fool to not notice anything while everything was happening right in front of me… I am in shock !!! N it’s so hard to cope with this trust… I don’t even know if he is lying about cheat just to hurt me & to make me leave or is he actually tell me the truth...?

It’s so hard for me to see through things & his intentions !!!!

Wow if I had a nickel for everytime I got raided I’d have 2 nickels

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice right?

Non refundable deposits from nursery

Just been reading about how the government have clarified that non-refundable deposits are not allowed by nurseries unless the child does not take up the space
We’ve paid £100; £50 of which will be taken off bill and £50 “non refundable”. Has anyone had any joy getting this money back? Thanks in advance 🥰
