Advice
Hi everyone,I feel a bit embarrassed about this, but I’m really struggling financially at the moment and I’m not sure what options I have.
I’m currently on my own with my baby and I don’t really have any support from my baby’s dad. Things are quite tight and it’s getting quite stressful trying to manage everything.
I’m also worried that I may not be able to go back to work after my maternity leave ends because childcare is going to be really difficult to arrange and afford, which is adding to the stress.
I was just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any advice on what help is available (benefits, grants, childcare support, anything really), or even just ways you managed to make things a bit easier.
Any advice or kind words would really help right now. Thank you 🤍
Am I the only one that struggling to actually make friends on this app?
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel like it’s really hard to make genuine friends on here. I feel like I’m constantly the one asking questions, like I’m interviewing people 😅 and a lot of the time the conversations stay really surface level, turns into them just talking about themselves, or I end up getting ghosted.
I came on here hoping to build real connections, especially with other moms, and I thought that’s what most people were looking for too. But lately it’s been a little discouraging. I feel like I’m putting a lot of time and energy into conversations that slowly fade out or get dry.
I’m still going to keep trying, but I’m curious, is this just how it is? Are people just more selective with friendships on here?
If anyone has tips on how to build more genuine connections, I’d really appreciate it 🤍
