Intimacy

I’m just over 8 weeks pp, and I have 0 interest in being intimate. Has anyone else felt like this?

Looking for my girly group

okay where is my girly group because i know you’re hiding somewhere 😭

i’m looking for a little group of girls around brisbane who actually want genuine friendships — coffee/matcha dates, brunch, cute little outings, shopping, walks, dinners, playdates if you have kids, sending each other stupid reels and eventually getting to the point where we can just show up at each other’s houses looking feral 😂

i’m a mum of two but you definitely don’t have to be a mum. i’d actually love a mix of girls where our entire friendship doesn’t revolve around being parents.

i’m into beauty, skincare, books, reality tv, spirituality/psychic stuff, cute outfits, y2k everything and having conversations that somehow go from completely unserious to deep life shit within five minutes.

i’m not looking for the “we should totally catch up!!” and then never speak again type of friendship 😭 i want my actual girls. group chat, spontaneous plans, checking in on each other, celebrating birthdays, the whole thing.

bonus points if you’re a little introverted, a little unhinged and also wondering how adults are supposed to make proper friends 😂

where are youuuu 🤎

Where you at?

Why is making friends in your 40’s so hard?! I’m 45, SAHM and have 3 kids with a big age gap. Looking for a texting bestie that actually responds. Let’s chat, send each other memes and support each other. Don’t care where you live! Honesty, non-judgmental and a sense of humor is a must. Let’s talk
about our kids but also ourselves and anything else because let’s be real, it’s all about the kids 🤣 I love plants, reading, true crime and crafting. Throw some iced coffee in there and my new bestie and I’m a happy girl!

SAHM + Blue collar husband = solo parenting most of the day

Anyone else have a blue collar husband and tends to be solo parenting, on survival mode while they work long hours ? It gets lonely here and could use some relatable connections! 🫶🏻

Universal Credit & Tax Free Childcare

Hey, so a quick back story - I live with my 3yo & ex (applied for council housing in July but waiting for confirmation so I can start bidding - he doesn't know this).

I applied for UC on the 10th of this month & had my job centre ID meeting last Monday (he also doesn't know about this). I'm waiting to hear back if I'll get it or not (I spoke to Citizens Advice prior to applying & they said I would be eligible).

My issue😬😬😬 I need to resubmit on my tax free childcare account by the 17th of October (I know I can't have both UC & Tax free childcare) but I don't wana cancel it in case I'm not accepted for UC 😬

Annoyingly, my childminders fee is due on the 1st of October. If I add money to my tax free account, will I get the top up even though I haven't resubmitted yet?

Also, if I add money & need to cancel to use UC, is withdrawing the money I added simple/straightforward?

Ugh, I duno what to do!😳😵‍💫 As I don't wana cancel tax free childcare in case they don't give me UC.

Any advice please? 🫣

Who wants to be friends

Looking for more mom friends

Idk what to think

My partner and I have a baby together, he cheated on me during my postpartum period 1y ago . We sort of got past that and are supposedly fine but I haven't been sexually active with him since. I need an emotional connection first which I don't feel exists and his poor personal hygiene makes my body physically repulsed by him. Consequently, whenever we do sleep together, it’s always at his initiative. Last night in bed, he kept insisting I kiss him, but I didn't want to because I don't like it. He ended up getting angry, storming out of the room while yelling at me, and insulting me, he said something like if he cheated on me again, I shouldn't come crying to him. He never shows me physical affection unless it’s to have sex, so I don't like it.
