Making Friends…

I feel like before kids I always had friends to do things with and now that I have kids, the texts have slowed down and the invites are non existent. My husband and I are from 2 different areas so we haven’t made “couple” friends yet and when I go to parks or play date meets ups, everything feels so surface level. Why is making friends in your 30s and post-mom life so difficult and lonely?

It’s sooo hard! I’m 28 & my husband is 30, and we’re in the same boat. We don’t really have any steady couple friends. I hardly have any mama friends bc I’m not on Facebook & my best friend doesn’t have kids. So I can relate. 🥲

Husband finds me unattractive

Husband told me he finds me unattractive that I constantly complain about the pain I’m in while being pregnant.. a shame that I have to worry about my partner finding me unattractive over the struggles of pregnancy.

Linkedin job title

I'm wondering if anyone here as a stay-at-home mom has put on their LinkedIn "stay at home mom" or something witty like a "children's managerial expert", "children's personal assistant" or "toddler supervisor"
I'm hoping to go back to work in 3 years time when my son goes to school, but I don't want it to look like I've done nothing in that time

Is it bad that….

Is it bad that I am married and very much pregnant, don’t wanna have sex with my husband but dream and get turned on by the thought of sexual intimacy with a woman?

This pregnancy has changed me alottt…

Going out in a bug group of people and splitting bills. What is your etiquette?

This doesn't include the tip and it is not about dating either. It is about when you go out with friends.

Do you think it is best to divide the bill evenly even if the attendees didn't consume the $ame?

Do you think it is fair that each person pays for what they ordered?
