Same here😭😭😭 only 11 days left and I’m so heartbroken💔 he’s too small to be without mom 💔 how they think 6 weeks is enough?

I’m in the same boat😭😭😭 I go back Friday too and I also work full time and work 12’s. I don’t know how I’m gonna do it😭💔

I go back to work Monday I’m not ready

Its so unfair maternity leave is 6 weeks. We are barely healed! Babies want and need to be with their moms as much as possible ugh im sorry hang in there 😞 be gentle with yourself.

Are besties even a thing🥹

I’ve been trying to find friends forever but always end up getting ghosted! It’s been really hard and lonely. I’m 18 with a 11 month old girl from Idaho trying to find mom friends!! Let’s ft or text :))
My snap is haaiiilleeyy

I work part time but bring my child with me to work, would I be considered more in the work force or more of a sahm?

I feel like I don’t hear about part time working moms!

bestie application

Where my future bestie at? 🩷I need a cool homegirl to vibe with whether it’s going out, eating, chill days, or playdates. I’m a mom so I get both sides of life 😂 just want a real friendship, good energy only.🫶🏾

I seriously need a mom friend

I have two friends right now and neither of them have kids. One is younger than me and the other is not the ideal friend. I care about them both but I need a friend that understands what im going through. My baby just turned 1. Im in Missoula now and all alone.
