Hi 👋 yes I am too I have a 5 yr old girl

Me also. I have a 3 year old that im also raising alone. My ex and I officially split not long after I gave birth - and its still hard now but each day can feel different. Happy to talk if and when you need to.

absolutely yes. every emotion. mine is 2 and nearly 4 months. I'm finding the tantrums so so hard. I hate the disciplining part and the fact that the burden falls entirely on me. it's really shit. I do it mostly solo. he's at nursery four days a week and with my mum one day. we live alone and spend most weekends alone - I try to arrange playdates but it's not super common yet. we started to live on our own when he was 10 months' old. no one, unless you've lived this, knows how brutal this is - particularly if the father/ex is narcissistic/controlling/abusive etc. My little one hasn't seen his dad in nearly six months and very rarely says "daddy" but I think he might have said "daddy" during a tantrum today and it breaks you a little bit (or a lot). just hear to say that all your feelings are valid. it's isolating and very very hard for most of us.

Seeking Conversation

So I'm bad at friendships. (I know. What am I even doing here?) I suck at responding a lot, but I just moved to this tiny town and away from my family for the first time and just need someone to distract me from all the stress! Flirty is fine as long as you're not pushy lol Snap is: thatbiitch90

After having your baby… is he cheating if he’s not getting at it everyday?

What would you do?

I used to LOVE ballroom dancing. I would regularly go to swing, salsa, and waltz clubs, dancing the night away. I even won a salsa competition once for moves I invented with my partner (friend). I know 3+ different kinds of swing…
It was a huge part of who I was.

My husband can dance one kind of swing and the two-step, but even then is pretty limited. Enough for me not to mind at weddings etc, and for the first 5 years of our relationship. We’ve now been together 9 years.

I’ve hinted and told him outright that it would mean a LOT to me if we could do a class together so we can *really* dance. He feels like he can already dance fine? Just having a good time? He doesn’t get it.

What should I do? What can I do?
No guy is going to ask a pregnant lady to dance 😂 And besides, I’d feel weird standing on the edge of the dance floor like a single girl after years of marriage lol

Queer here

Hi all, I joined here as I’m queer. I’m not technically bisexual - my partner is non binary and I’ve had female partners in my adult life. There was no other groups for queer mamas. All good for me to be here? 😊

Where's my village?

Its recently occurred to me that I dont have a single person in my life that lives a similar lifestyle to me and its very isolating.

Are there any other mums out there who have young children (i have 2 under 3), work full time, and have a barely reliable "partner"?

I need a conversation with someone who can actually understand and relate!

New friends?

Looking for other mama friends, distance doesn’t bother me, just want to surround myself with more people I relate to and who can relate to me🩷
