Neighbourhood Facebook Pages

UK: As you may know a lot of new build estates/certain areas/neighbourhoods have Facebook groups and pages for the residents, and we have a particular one which is a buying & selling group for our estate.
Would you think it fair and courteous, or more so neighbourly, to take something someone is giving away for free but then sell it on for money a few months down the line?

I’ve just seen someone trying to sell something she picked up from me for free on our fb page. I mean obviously it’s hers now to do with what she wishes but I don’t think it’s the done thing considering we’re all here as a community, what do you think?

It depends what it is. I'd be fuming if I donated baby clothes or items to someone and then they tried to sell it instead of donating it on. But household items I wouldn't care about, people do it all the time.

That would annoy me. I have a personal rule not to make money from baby items, I prefer to pass them on to a friend or baby bank. When I give something, I usually ask that once it’s no longer needed, it’s donated to someone else who can use it.

Is he talking to escorts (again)

So it’s 3am in the morning, I’m 34 weeks pregnant and wake up to use the toilet, I find out my husband is not in the bed with me, I stand up and notice that he is in the toilet and the door is locked( we’ve never used the lock knob so it’s pretty stiff) I ask why did you lick the door he said it was a mistake, I go back to bed, he comes back in to bed, it was a good ten minutes before I went to the toilet after noticing him not on the bed.
He comes back and I said why was the door locked he said (he mistake hit the lock) I reply that there’s no way that was a mistake you need good effort to lock that door.
Then he goes quiet, and I notice he had removed his ring in the toilet.
When I first guessed he was chatting with escorts he denies it to this day, even though I went as far as chatting one of the girls and she was nice enough to share me screenshots and he still denied it.

What do I do? How do I get more concrete proof or am I over my head?

*side note* he woke up this morning acting super nice, kissing me and the kids

How do you deal with the sadness of not having friends?

Can someone just give me some tips to deal with this please. I’ve been struggling to keep friends for so long, and usually I’m ok about it but every now and then I just feel so much sadness.

My eldest has started school this year and I managed to build a friendship with another mum (our kids are besties) but now shes distancing herself from us. I just feel like no matter what I do, this world does not want me to have friends. Everything else in my life is great but man it’d be nice to have a girl friend 😅
I give up second guessing myself all the time, I’m a nice person, I’d do anything for anyone. So it’s time to just accept it 😔

Anyone want a texting buddy?

I have social anxiety and have maxed out my social circle I can handle, but I feel like I have no one to vent to or tell my feelings to. If anyone wants to also vent/talk texting only, I just can't handle phone calls or meet ups mentally rn

Hi - I'm hoping to meet some friends with kids around my daughter's age. She is 5, 6 in June. I have friends but all of their children are grown lol. We love outside activities, traveling(she's been cruising since 1), water parks, good food, and loud laughs.
