PP Periods

OH MY DAYS! I am having ANOTHER period!! This is so annoying. I've now had 4 periods since February and had 6 weeks of lochia before that. I'm also on the mini pill - however, was prescribed a completely different pill to what I used to have previously, so I'm wondering if this is why?! Is anyone else the same and having quite a few periods? Grrrr.... 🙃

Trying this again 🥹

Looking for a bestie in Texas, but honestly can be long distance. It's just my daughter and I most of the time so we get pretty bored and tbh lonely 😅. We like books, movies, the park, and playing in the water.

Missed pill

I am on the mini pill, a few weeks ago I missed taking it the Thursday and Friday as I had lost it🫣 and then when found again I took it the Saturday but had unprotected sex that day, has anyone fallen pregnant this soon from not taking the pill is it even possible? I have a one year old already and have started feeling similar signs to when I did with them but haven’t tested yet as I don’t know if it’s all in my head

Alone

Anyone else just completely overwhelmed at times? My little girls is almost 11 weeks and she is always attached to me, second I try to put her down she has a meltdown. I breastfeed and formula feed too since I unfortunately don't produce enough, oh and I pump! I feel I am always stuck in the house or when I do manage to go out.. it's never for long at all if it is just us as I get nervous if she has a meltdown.
My partner works away Mon-Fri so the weekdays become very lonely and isolating..

Mum friends expectation

Is it just me or did you have an expectation that you would meet a group of mum friends when you went to classes etc? I haven’t found this to be the case, it can be quite clique-y or people don’t really talk? Hoping this isn’t just me who feels disappointed!

Curry 🍛

LOs favourite dinner… a classic curry. So simple to make and it’s always a hit. 😋

Unfairness

Alright bear with me ladies.
Ive always been used to unfair treatment of kids. When I was young I was on the unfairly treated side. My mom tried her best to mitigate it but couldn't quite cover it up.

Now come to present time. My kids definitely get treated unfairly by my family (15 year old son and 12 year old daughter, both are not mine biologically and I think this is why). I also have a 16 year old brother who is on the other side of my kids. Hes the kid that my mother and older sister absolutely dote on (I dont hold this against him).

Heres the actual dilemma.
I was asked/told that (brother 16) wants a very expensive gift ($475) for his birthday and I should get him that.
I want to get it cause I do believe that he would benefit from having it and that its a very useful gift. However, last month (daughter) got maybe $25 bucks in random trinkets for her birthday from (Gma & Sister). I also know for (son's) birthday in Aug. they are planning on buying him 1 or 2 horror books as his gifts.

Now where im stuck is how do I very politely point out that if I get this gift for (brother) that my kids are owed a bit more for their birthdays from them.
Or how do I politely decline getting the gift due to my kids not getting the equivalent?

If I need to clarify more things ill gladly do that. Also here is my pup cause why not.
