Set a weekly and daily list of like things to do and look up crockpot and air fryer, easy quick meals

I started what i call “recharge rituals” througout the day. I noticed when i take 10 minutes to focus not on family or baby… but to do something for nyself I felt better. It could be 10 minutes to make a coffee for myself. 10 minutes to pray and read a few scriptures or motivational stories. 10 minutes to eat a fun replenishing snack. 10 minutes to do skincare or hair. I just pause to refill and refuel because u can not pour from an empty cup.
Then i also say being a mom u need to pull on real life skills… time management, project management, and investigate and research systems and routines that make things easy. I watched tons of declutter, organize, and adhd cleaning videos to help me get a better grasp on things. I watched tons mom routines on youtube and adopted a few things that have made things easier. I realize clutter really weighs me down so i have put things in place where its a bit more visually pleasing. An example is for baby drawers i label and no longer fold.

Cyst

I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and got a cyst near my ovarie it’s over 10 cm I was on waiting list to get it removed but due to being pregnant I had to cancel my appointment for that has anyone ever been in this situation? What other options is there if you’ve been in this situation?

Let’s have a real conversation??..

Not to be rude but… if our convo is just ‘wyd’ and ‘lol’ I might fall asleep mid-text 😭
I need a friend who can get into deep talks, random thoughts, and life convos ☕️✨”

420 friendly looking for mama friends

I have a 5 yr old daughter married to my best friend for 10 years MAJOR POT HEAD I wanna find mamas that love to text and send videos of us smoking up lol 😂 I’m blunt and outspoken I have a big heart ❤️

I hate being a mother right now!

The bad days outweigh the good. Am I doing it wrong?
I never expected to feel like this about being a mum and I hate the way I feel because I’m always miserable. I acknowledge that I made the choice and everything but it’s so much harder than I expected. Is it because I’m in survival mode? I feel bad for my kid because she deserves a mum who isn’t miserable. People say you can’t pour from an empty cup but I’m rarely able to get a moment to myself. I don’t get any help 😭. I’m so exhausted!

Just need an outlet today, feeling lonely and really low mood.

Literally my only support system is my husband and he means well but sometimes just does not get IT. My mum has been admitted to hospital and I'm use to speaking to her every day, my dad is in respite as he's also disabled. I have no friends, or they're currently going through it themselves. My family are sick. My husband works mon-fri. The eldest attends school. I love the time with my baby of course but I'm fucking lonely. 😭

always initiating sex

not really looking for advice just wanting to rant… i feel like im the one constantly initiating sex ever sense getting pregnant (now 10 weeks postpartum and I have been having sex again since week five). It feels like unless I give him head first he just doesn’t take the initiative to have sex with me. there was a week where I was giving him head every single night before bed and so we had sex every single night, but I haven’t done that the last week or so and so we haven’t really been having sex. Sometimes I’ll make comments during the day about getting it on at night, but it just doesn’t happen. idk just kind of miss him inititiating
