Hey! My babies are 3 and 5 and I still feel like this ❤️ it does get easier ! Xx

I try to find things to do out of the house I go crazy looking at the same 4 walls every day a good friend group can be a big help

Yes, I miss my life before, baby. I wouldn't want all of it in exchange. But mostly the freedom to do whatever I want and to have time for myself. That will eventually return one day, I believe. 😄

Yes... I find I just miss doing whatever I want... But I try to make myself and my son happy at the same time so I'm not just giving up everything.

I honestly feel the same I hate how I have to money and I can’t really get anything I want

I don’t miss a career. I miss traveling with my husband. We took a road trip yesterday and he said he doesn’t regret our child but he misses our life before him. We don’t get to do things like this anymore

We don’t have time for one another and he misses it

I feel like no one wants to meet my baby

Today was supposed to be the day part of my extended family meets my baby for the first time. She’s only met her grandparents, aunts, and uncle. But I found out yesterday that Easter get together was being canceled so they can go to some kids birthday party. All their kids are grown, so it’s weird to me that it’s a priority for them. Theirs been no other discussion about meeting her before the next family event (4th of July, she’ll already be 6 months old then). No other family on either side has contacted me or my husband about getting together to meet her besides my grandma. Am I supposed to be reaching out to them? No one’s even said anything to me since I’ve given birth. Idk if I’m over thinking this and I’m still just very hormonal, but I feel hurt. I don’t know what to do. I just want to do more things with my baby now that she’s 3 months old, including meeting all the people I care about. Any advice would be great, I’m not the best at communicating.

Lube recommendations

Can anyone recommend a good lube? We tried one other night (durex) and it made my partner go floppy!!!

Put a finger down if xx

you only ever had sex with one person, only ever kissed this person, been with them 8 years and are still currently with them, started a family and now wondering if dating or having other sexual relationships would of been beneficial to a long term relationship in terms of experience ✊🏻

5 months postpartum..

I’ve gained a lot of weight and my body is stiff from carrying my baby all the time. I am told by everyone to get fit again but I’m struggling to figure out where I can squeeze a workout in? The only real window I can do something for myself is in the evening but I’d rather put my feet up for a bit than workout. How is everyone’s fitness journey going? Has anyone started? And if so, how are you implementing it?

I just need a genuine friend during this time..

A genuine friend that totally gets it, is what I long for. Yes, we may get busy from time to time but when we get back together the energy never changes. Our kids play together and possibly grow up being best friends, when we are both wrong in a situation accountability and communication is never an issue. Just a hug, sitting back in the yard talking about sweet nothings and probably end up crying about anything.. Why is it so hard to find that?

YOOOO

just bored. looking for a friend to talk to... preferably someone that talks back 😭🤣
