literally going through the same exact thing rn. having a kid young means never exploring yourself during your youth and now i’m confused 😭

Just ask chat GPT I’m sure you’re good at something.

I feel the same, ughh! 😒 Hope u find ur thing. 🙏

Honestly you need to start your own business. That way you can do as much or as little as you want when youre able. I'm just glad I figured out something that doesnt involve selling cuz I suckkkk at it 😅😭 If you want me to pass your phone number along to the couple that helped me I'm happy to. Good luck moms. It's rough out there. Even the gas driving to and from the library feels excessive now 🥲

Same here man but idk 🤷🏽‍♀️ I just want my own funds for me and the family

Hey girls, You should start with what excites you and you talk about to people easily or what your close friends and family ask advice for on a regular basis. For me, it was when I lost weight after my Eclampsia experience in 2015. By 2017 I began actively coaching women online, with the birth of my first son however, I discovered I enjoyed shopping unique baby items for mums in their hospital bags. Now after my twin boys, I’m an author sharing life lessons on how to help overwhelmed moms #CreateYourEden. Working on my app to build my community- I don’t have it all figured out, don’t be fooled girls. You’re on the right track seeking to discover yourself, keep going and if you need any support, feel free to chat me up in my dm. I’m happy to share

What job do you do that fits around your child’s nursery schedule??

I’ve gone back to work part time and I’m on less money then when I started 5 years ago and I’ve looked at other jobs but the hours do not work for me.. LO starts at 9-4 so what other jobs are people doing?

How’s everyone’s partners working paternity leave?

My husband holidays are set (annoyingly) so he can only get 2 weeks off
He’s got a holiday 25th-31st and C-section is supposed to be between 27th-3rd so it could fall while he’s already off then take the 2 weeks after but we want to some how make it longer 😩 we fell really lucky with our oldest because he was born a little over 2 weeks before a 2 week holiday so my husband got almost 5 weeks off but not falling that lucky this time

Annoyingly if I was able to go to my due date it would’ve worked out that he got 2 weeks of then 8 days back at work before a almost 4 week holiday 🤦🏼‍♀️ but now the 4 week holidays going to be about 6 weeks after birth

Baby dad worries

I’m just in the position where I just don’t know what to do anymore there are a couple of problems going on and it’s getting to much for me to handle

1. Me and my baby dad are in a relationship he goes to work 40+ hours a week and I’m a stay at home I am grateful for that but I do wish I could have some free time away from my daughter and be working as well as making more money. My partner doesn’t help pay for anything for my daughter or for me. Including being able to and do stuff. Plus after work and the weekends he’s really tired so we don’t ever do anything as a family. I’m struggling with the amount of money I get off universal credit.

2 He has got a good job and has worked there for 5 years ish I think but recently they have added a women to the workplace and ever since he has been a bit off and he enjoys going to the pub with her and his boss. I’m not included anyone when it comes to going out with the work lot and I do think it has something to do with her? I don’t know if I’m just a massive over thinker but he just falls out with me whenever we talk about it. Sex life what the hell even is sex that’s what it has turned into we don’t cuddle and we don’t ever kiss. He goes to work comes back I put my daughter to bed I make his tea then he rolls over and goes to sleep

3 He never lets me look at his phone. The other day when he was asleep his phone received a message and I looked over and as soon as I had moved he put his hand over his phone just so I couldn’t see. Which I think is being secretive

4 every time we have an argument he turns his location off which I think he must be doing something and then when I ask for it to be turned back on he says it’s gone forever I have lost it.

5 i feel I am being over dramatic but also not at the same time. I’ve struggled with post natal depression since my daughter was born and still on the anti depression medication

Is there anyone on here that has dpd as I think I might have this disorder and wondering if I should talk to the doctors about everything. I am at the point where if someone asks if I’m okay I just burst out into tears and unable to talk. If you’ve managed to read up to here thank you and I just want someone else’s opinion and what i should do
