Feeling nervous about after he goes back to work from paternity leave!

Getting a bit ahead of myself (36 +3) but its dawning on me that 2 weeks seems so so short before your partner goes back to work and you are left the figure everything out!

Does it all just fall into place and you know what you are doing? Im looking to exclusively breastfeed as well so I dont get how we are supposed to juggle it all in those early weeks 🫩

Hey bestie!

Looking for a mom bestie who actually texts back and doesn’t make it weird 😭 just easy convo, no awkward pauses, no overthinking replies like we can talk about life, kids, chaos, and random nonsense without it feeling like a job interview. Bonus if we can be funny and consistent 🫶 I want a real friend, not an off and on situation LOLL 😭

Mommy Bestie

Hi everyone! 🌸 I'm a stay-at-home mom to the sweetest 5-month-old (born Dec 13th!) and honestly I'm looking for my people. I don't have much of a tribe right now and I'd love to change that.

I'm looking for a genuine best friend, not just an online connection. Someone who's down to FaceTime, text regularly, go on playdates, and have real mommy dates too. If you're in the Toledo, OH area and want to actually hang out this weekend, please reach out! 💛

I'm also actively job searching and would love to connect with anyone who's hiring, knows of openings, or works as a recruiter. I'll be sharing my resume soon!

Don't be shy feel free to message me, and yes, more than one person is more than welcome! 🙋🏾‍♀️

My ex husband has asked for my wedding rings back

Should I give them back?

I’m sooo pissed off, has this happened to anyone else?

So I have been absolutely killing it at my job. I had my performance review today and I thought I would be getting a raise because I asked my boss about it prior to this meeting. Apparently, they only had funding to hire external employees. She said she should have the funding in July or August for internal but also on that same call she asked me to train the new hires that are above me so how am I good enough to train new hires for a position that’s higher than mine but I’m not qualified to get that position. I don’t understand. My performance review was absolutely fantastic. I got exceeded expectations and my boss said only one other person at my level got exceeded expectations. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m so pissed.

Are you expecting a ‘push present’ from your partner?

Just wondering what’s ‘normal’ for you, ladies, and if you have told your partner what you would like to get or this is not something you’re expecting or even thinking about. :)

Where I’m from the husband is expected to bring flowers and chocolates when he comes to take the mom and the newborn home, and have a present for the mom, a jewelry most often. They don’t need to give the present in public but it’s considered a sweet appreciation gesture which would disappoint the mom if skipped.

How are things in your family? In your culture?

I finally did it AND 💩

Drove to a local library for “babies and bubbles” time. Trying to get better about getting out for my 16mth old. I don’t drive a lot since an accident before being pregnant and now just get a lot of anxiety towards it. Being responsible for him and trusting the general public to handle themselves safely. (I was hit and pinned in my car by someone driving past traffic in the shoulder illegally) Well I did it, 20 minutes each way. Was all good, that at least went well.

Well? Got there, 10 minutes before door opened by accident. & then?
No one showed for the class or whatever.
So, The librarian let us just play by ourselves for 20 minutes. Sweet of her not to turn us away. But it was pretty pointless in the socializing department obviously 😞

Sigh. It’s like whenever I really TRY, it’s always met with defeat. I really hate it. My rejection syndrome spirals
