What are moms without a village doing?

My daughter will be starting school soon. What are moms without a village doing with so many early out, school breaks, & teachers service days.

I want to go back to work but have no idea how we would make it work.

See if the school has an after-school program. Really helps working moms

Am I the only mom that doesn’t want to be around my family tomorrow? Like at all?

Unfortunately, I’ve been battling with my relationship. I’m a mother of two (ages 1 and 11) and my partner is not the most “thoughtful” person. I feel so unseen, under appreciated and just overall not the greatest. I’d much rather spend the day alone - relaxing than to feel so uncared for on a day that should feel extra special. Am I the only one?

What’s your thoughts!!!!

Ladies, if you tell your significant other that something they keep saying bothers you, and they continue to say it anyway on multiple occasions, that’s not “just joking” anymore.
Imagine having a normal conversation about food or a restaurant and you mention, “Remember when we had pasta from there?” and his response is, “Must’ve been your other nigga because it wasn’t me.”
The first time may be brushed off as a joke. But after you express that you don’t like comments like that, and he still repeats them, it starts to feel disrespectful, passive aggressive, and unnecessary. What would you do next?

Looking for friends

Heyyy! Trying something new! My husband and I moved out to Kansas about a year ago, he’s in the military and we’re looking for couple friends! We are currently going through some infertility issues, but we know the lord will make it happen at the right time. We’ve been trying for a little over 2 years now. I’m 22 he’s 25 praying this is the month! We’re both very outgoing people and love to be outside or inside. We both play video games, and love boardgames/ card games. We have 3 beautiful puppies. If anyone has any advice for going through infertility I’d love to hear it! Or just any advice in general. 💙

New friends

Hi everyone, my name is Safi. I’m 26 years old and honestly, I’ve been feeling alone ever since I’ve been pregnant. I just really need some girlfriends people to talk to anything at this point. Baby daddy is not in the picture currently and my family doesn’t live around me.

Lonely.

I’m going through SO MUCH and I need a safe space to talk, without judgement, and to have an actual conversation. Not just someone to say “I’m sorry” or “I can’t relate” it really sucks not having a village or family.
