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.

I need a bestie either close by or long distance

Hi Yall, I’m looking for a life long bestie!❤️ I recently moved and haven’t found much friends. I need more adult interaction and all the mom’s friends I’ve been trying to be friends end up canceling plans. If anyone is interested in a long distance bestie hit me up! ❤️ no judgement here all love! 🫶🏻❤️

Hi mums so I’m 25 &
I have a two year old little girl and it’s only us two everyday … I have no friends myself so it’s hard to find stuff to do daily especially alone as I have really bad anxiety we are still waiting for a nursery place

I just wish I could find a genuine mum friend who doesn’t have a secret agenda towards me and we can just raise our kids together but it’s way harder for me because I feel like I don’t fit in anywhere at all anymore ..
I know there are some mums going through the same

Am I justified???

I have a friend of 12 years we met through work. We are both pregnant (2 weeks apart) . We have been supporting each other through the pregnancy. It has been great because she has kids and has done this pregnancy thing twice already and just nice to have someone who gets it. We live an hour distance from each other so we made a commitment to meet every couple of months.
We met last time in January end of 1st trimester celebration and we went to their place.
For our March meet up we agreed somewhere mutual to do some baby shopping and see each other on a Saturday.
I asked her about meet time several times and she kept on saying she needed to check with her partner
Last time I asked was Friday before our meet the next day at 8pm and she was still checking.
Saturday (day of the meet) morning I heard nothing but didn't want to come off nagging. Bear in mind I can see her posting stuff on socials. Nothing all of Saturday nothing Sunday nothing Monday then Tuesday 9pm I get a 2 sentence apology "sorry I forgot and sorry it took me till Tuesday to realise'

I have ignored the message because I am pretty angry. I just feel disrespected and that mine and my husband's time is not valued of theirs. She didn't even bother to give a good excuse ? Am I justified to be angry ?
I do hold a grudge so I can overreact

would you stick around or leave

not about me personally or anyone i know!! but i saw this online on a different app and wanted your opinion, just for fun! i like seeing everyone’s perspectives! okay so, if someone you know and you’re close to (friend, best friend, or a family member) was in a toxic/ abusive relationship would you still be friends with them and try to help get them out or would you cut them off for your own safety and mental health?

Why are women out here making excuses for their useless partners ?

I don't get it. Why do you tolerate bullshit from men ?

Some of you need to be shaken.

With love ❤️
