Side hustle??

I’ve been feeling really guilty for not working while I stay at home and take care of my 2 month old. Does anyone have suggestions of what I could do? I can’t do anything that requires calling, also don’t have an up to date laptop.

Raising a child is a full time - no pay job

No need to feel guilty

Enjoy these moments ❤️

Honey we may not begin paid but taking care of a baby being a stay-at-home mother is a 24-hour job that a lot can't fathom let alone attempt to do You're a superwoman whether you see it or not 😉

Assuming y’all planned it this way, you shouldn’t feel guilty about it, you’re saving your family money on daycare & probably at least fuel as well. I know the legit WFH jobs here require you to have childcare, I had a friend get fired bc her dog could be heard barking in the background, after they had gotten onto her about her dog being in the room with her during work hours. The type of childcare we’d prefer would’ve cost us $3,500, that was literally just taking care of an infant FT plus making sure our then 12y made it back inside after chores & making enough lunch for him to also eat w/the nanny/manny & his brother, he didn’t need watching, kept up w/his own schoolwork & activities, but we don’t do farm chores w/o someone else home or close by, jic of accidents, doesn’t matter if we’re 12 or 50, it’s safety habits we all have, even w/easy chores. It would cost all of my check & part of my hubs for me to work, especially since I’d need transportation. I save us lots of money🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you have sex on holiday? Please read before voting

Hubby and I are on holiday with our son. He doesn't like the bed he has been given so is Co sleeping with us in our bed.

Hubby keeps whinging that we can't have sex because we are Co sleeping. He's like 'what's the point in being married if we can't have sex on holiday?' he'd had a bit to drink. Last holiday was the same and we had sex in the shower. We tried to have a bit of fun in the shower yesterday but the bedroom is open plan (no door for the bathroom just a shower door) our son walked in on us. I felt a bit uncomfortable about it and we haven't tried to do it since.

Am I just overthinking this or does anyone else feel uncomfortable with having sex without the guarantee of privacy? Or are not bothered and having the sex?

So my partner and I dont live together as he works away and sometime with the price of fuel costs to much for him to come home every weekend so we make the most of bank holidays and houng away we have a LO who is 10 weeks we haven't had sex since LO had been born. Not sure how I feel about doing it in the same room as LO obviously only if LO is asleep. Where do you all stand with it?

Give me an advice like a big sister

My husband is scared to post or allow me post our baby on social media and just enjoy motherhood publicly online . our marriage was not accepted by our parents we went ahead and did it anyways cause we loved each other and they all cut us off but we know they stalk my page . It’s been 2 years and our child is 7 months he put that fear in me to be scared to post the baby hide my pregnancy also .

Right now I’m going through postpartum I hear my baby crying even when he’s asleep sometimes I cry myself for hours my face gets so swollen and painful why? Because since I gave birth my husband has refused to initiate intimacy but aside this he’s doing everything 💯 yall in 7 months we had sex 3 x I stopped initiating so no sex 🥲.
I have no one just my child I’m an immigrant he is American refused to file for my greencard after we got married in August 2025 he said he’s broke and I’m a SAHM

He hides he’s phone so much I confronted him asked to see his phone and he refused we dragged the phone I hurt my hand then I got so angry I tried to leave he he locked the door after me 😂 I came back cause he took my phone and my baby I banged the door he said be careful the police will come and you will go to jail like this man has my name tattooed on his body ..! We was good and the baby changed us .. he said people don’t like us or support our marriage and if they they we know have a child they would harm our child spiritually like I’m confused
