Not my cup of tea

What do you do if your mum starts to chat you you on here but she’s not your cup of tea so you’re not interested in being friends?

I have 2 under 2 so very little time, a mum has messaged me who had kids way older than mine so we’re could never do play dates and our interests don’t align. I don’t even have time for my family right now let alone new friends who aren’t my vibe. But if there was someone who contacted me who looked like bestie material I would make time for it.


So what’s the kindest thing to do?

So when I was first looking for mum friends on peanut some just didn’t reply and I assumed they were inactive/busy / I feel like I would have taken a “you aren’t my type” much worse?

Comments that irritate

‘This is why you shouldn’t have kids unless you are married’

Someone said this to me on a video I commented on tik tok, however I was with my ex HUSBAND 10 years married 3 and a half before we had babies. A piece of paper makes no difference.

Maybe the signs were always there but I feel he definitely changed after I got pregnant with our eldest…

Do you think trans children grow out of being trans?

Someone close to me has a child that came out as trans. They are waiting to tell others in the family this "just in case" their child changes their mind or grows out of it. In my experience I came out twice, the first time at a young age and was repeatedly dismissed that it was a phase and was told not to tell others in the family, I went back into the closet, the second time I was much older and felt I had wasted my twenties after letting family gaslight me into thinking they knew me better than I knew myself. That's just me, I know others who thought they were trans and later realized they weren't, but I want to know how common do parents think it is for their child to not actually be trans after coming out.

*I will report any transphobic or hateful comments, you can make your point without being impolite. This isn't a debate on everything transgender, only about if parents believe their children when they come out or if they have doubts.

Debating on seperation

I'm at a loss and not sure what to do my husband and I have been together for 12 years and 3 years married however my love for him and connection is fading his true colours really showed during my pregnancy when he wasn't there for me when I needed support and only came to one appointment with me since the arrival of our daughter he hasn't really stepped up to the dad role is always working late which he chooses too and really only helps on weekends. He barely even knows her ques and what she needs or wants and she is already 8 months old. I'm so lost on what to do and yes I have been talking to a counselor about these issues just good to hear others opinions

Maternity leave anxiety!

I finish work in 3 weeks. I am terrified. I have no friends, as in zero. I speak to nobody other than my partner or mum when i am not at work. I felt so lonely on my last maternity leave and that played a huge part in me getting postnatal depression. I don’t know what to do or how to make some friends but i’m so scared of going through it all again.
