Lonely

Hi I’m a stay at home mum to my 2 year old girlie. I love it although it is challenging at times. I’ve lost all my friends I only had really two close friends and they no longer keep in touch which is hard as I thought they would. I’m so lonely. Does anyone else feel this way?

Hi Jodie, it’s hard to read your words but know that you are not alone in the way you feel. I’m a first time mom to a gorgeous boy and although I don’t feel extreme loneliness, I am a South African living in the uk and it took me a long time to make a community, don’t have any close friends (that’s a tough challenge) but the small interactions I get from people I know in the shop, a family face on the street, a neighbour really help me feel connected to the world. Look in the small places, you may find some comfort there.

Hi I'm a stay at home mom and I get very bored most times, I don't have friends so I got no one to talk to sometimes I wish I had friends or people I can talk and laugh with because it does get lonely

HELP!!!

I’m so frustrated I’m trying to be considerate but it’s getting ridiculous at this point . I’m not used to being in a relationship where a man has 10,000 excuses as to why he’s not having sex with me . And at this point I’m starting to get to a point where I don’t even want him to touch me . It’s been literally a month since we’ve done anything sexual . He’ll tease me but not do anything and that makes me even more mad . I’m really starting to believe he’s a narcissist and he’s using sex to control me bc I’ve been keeping track of the dates and it’s only after we fight or when he needs it . He said before the problem is I don’t initiate but really how I’m supposed to do that when first I don’t feel attractive bc I’m 8 months pregnant and second you give off bum energy don’t want to do anything fun but play around and complain about how you have to work all the time and your tired . I don’t know what to do anymore besides just let the connection fade bc at this point he’s my roommate and I’m starting to resent him . Please help

Am i being unreasonable?

Back story is i have been with my parner for 7 years now, had has 2 kids from a previous relationship boy aged 14 and girl aged 16, his teenage girl lives with her mum and rarely comes round, she wants nothing to do with the baby no matter how much my partner trys to push a bond (i can see her giving the baby weird looks with zero attempt to play or talk to the baby)
However my partner has booked us all to go to scotland for the weekend to visit his brother and he is expecting me to pay for his daughter for the whole trip whilst he pays for his son, i get the whole splitting the cost but i do pay for most of the babies stuff out of my wages whilst also splitting the bills down in half so i put my side to why he should pay for both of his kids and im happy enough to pay for myself (the trip wasnt my idea at all, if anything im not really wanting to go with a 3 month old baby because he doesnt wanna take the pram and he is expecting me to spend everyday walking around with the baby in the carrier) but here we are not picking a argument because it makes him happy.
Sorry for the rant but am i being unreasonable for not wanting to pay for his daughters whole share of the trip?

Baby Fell Off The Bed!!

Guys im freaking out. Our baby is 1 week off five months. We don't leave him unattended on beds because he can roll both ways. We were getting ready foe bed and my husband sets the baby down close to the edge. The he sits down on the edge of the bed next to the baby. So the bed like bowed where he sat and sent my baby rolling off the bed. Im freaking out. My husband hasnt let me hold him because I guess he feels guilty and wants hold him. But i also feel like I need to because I was also scared. Hes taking his bottle just fine and stopped crying immediately after we picked him up. But like will he be OK? Do i need to get him checked out just in case?

Gym and fitness beginner tips needed

Any help please
I'm almost 3 months postpartum with my 3rd child.
I've been to the gym around 3 times in the past but I only went on the treadmill as I'm a complete beginner and have no idea what to do
I want to get into fitness and start going to the gym regularly but I'm not sure what exercises I should be doing, or what equipment to use etc.
My main goal is to lose my belly fat/mom pooch but I'd also like to work on my glutes, chest area and maybe my arms.
Any suggestions on what I should be doing at the gym.
