Loneliness☀️

Is anyone experiencing loneliness during pregnancy too? I have an amazing partner, who is super helpful in everything. Although he’s happy to listen to me rant, or moan about certain symptoms. We both know that he’ll never truly get it, he’s a man. This is preventing me from sharing things with him, especially prenatal depression traits. It leaves me feeling alone at times. I don’t have other mum friends to relate to. I love to know if I’m the only one feeling like this so I can suck it up, or actually others do feel like this. ❤️‍🩹

I can relate to this - even more so once baby comes, as the mans life goes back to semi-normal pretty quickly, whereas ours is completely flipped upside down!

I found it so helpful having some mum friends with babies of the same age - I was just lucky that I already knew people who happened to have babies around the same time! Are you going to go to any prenatal classes? NCT groups? I know a lot of people who have made great friends there!

Relationship 18 weeks pregnant

Today I asked my fiancé to grab me beef ramen packs, super simple super cheep when he got back he brought the wrong thing home I was sad and said I didn’t want what he got, and because he was working on his Pokemon business he got an attitude that he had to drive literally across the street again it hurt my feelings so slammed the door and left it at that and went to shower. After getting out the shower I was straightening the bathroom out and he came up to me not to apologize but to complain , so I shut the door and locked it on him (I didn’t want to hear anymore) and he literally kicked it down the door and frame in it almost fell on me and I lost it. I told him I wish I never got pregnant by him I thought he would be nicer to me while pregnant but it’s never been this bad in our 5 years together. I feel terrible because I wanted to have a baby so bad but now I feel like I regret everything… I’m at a loss and have been driving around for the past 6 hours just because I don’t want to go back home. I don’t have anyone to go to either so I just don’t know what to do ..

Are you tired of looking at the inside of your house????

Listen, I've been a SAHM Mom for about 2yrs now and all my friends have jobs so I rarely see people or have adult conversations! I don't like being on the phone long cause my son is loud. I need more than the inside of my house, who likes park meetups and doing something with the kids just to get out the house!! Hit me up if you're in Atlanta

FINANCES DURING MAT LEAVE

Hey so I’m curious to know — did/does your partner give you a set amount of money when you went on maternity leave? If so, how much? I don’t mean just paying for bills or buying things, I mean an actual amount transferred to you each month. Just wondering what other couples do.

Is it rude to not give a gift?

My teenager has a birthday party tonight & I honestly can’t afford to buy the girl a gift or give money in a card. I am struggling financially and don’t have the funds to send her with a gift or sacrifice $20 I don’t really have right now. I’m considering just giving a birthday card but is this rude/wrong?

Can’t get rid of inappropriate feelings

I get so jealous everytime my boyfriend’s best friend brings home a new girl. I have the biggest crush on him, and it’s so inappropriate. I feel bitter hearing about his flings, and I get so excited when I hear he’s coming over.
