Friends

I’m Christina — mama to a beautiful 7-month-old baby girl 👶🏼💕 and looking to make some genuine mom friends in the Queens/Long Island area!
Would love to connect with other moms for chats, walks, playdates, Target runs, vent sessions 😂 or just having people nearby who get it.
Being a mom can feel isolating sometimes, so I figured I’d put myself out there 🫶🏼
If you’re local and looking for new friends too, message me or comment! Let’s connect 🤍

Cheating

Hi everyone, just interested in some opinions.

The father of my baby cheated on me last month, I was 25 weeks pregnant. I found out because he gave me an STI.

Things moved very quickly between us. We met in November, found out I was pregnant in March and moved in together end of March.
We went through a rough patch for a few months. My moods haven’t been the easiest to deal with, which would cause some arguments. I suggested we had a break for a few days, as it was becoming a bit intense. This is when he cheated.

Would you ever be able to forgive and move on? Or would this be the end?

Feel sad

I feel so overwhelmed lately. I talk to my husband and a few family members but I feel like I have no true friends. I want to talk to someone who will listen and be there for me without judgement. Seems like it’s too much to ask. Anyone else feel this way sometimes?

AITA for not letting my boyfriend travel to las Vegas from Sydney for his mates birthday within 1 month of giving birth?

I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant , my partner is upset in putting my foot down on attending his mates 30th birthday in Vegas, I'll give some more details below

My partner's scheduled holidays coming up

August: 3 days boys trip to watch the footy - interstate
September: 6 day trip with myself and his friend turning 30 plus his gf - travelling interstate
December: a 1 week vacay overseas w my partner for the babymoon just us two

On top of this he wants a extra week to 10 days on Vegas(we live in Sydney, Australia- so this is a significant expense) starting 18 Feb when Im scheduled to be due 26 march

AITA for putting my foot down incase I go into labour earlier than planned or expecting some help when I'll be that heavily pregnant ? He keeps saying I don't expect you to understand but on top of not being around the support me in the first and last trimester that's thousands of dollars we could put towards the baby that he wants to blow away in Vegas . The trip to Vegas is a boys trip, so even if I could travel it's not like I'm not invited!

Scared

A fear of mine is getting close to people and then they leave me! I want and need a good true friend forever!

How often do you hang out with friends after having a baby??

Hubby and I used to have a busy social calendar, and even after I had baby I still tried. But now baby is almost 2, plus we have some changes in the friend group. We are barely hanging out with people. Nor do we have the energy to. I’m low key sad about it and can’t wait to be friend my kid’s friend’s parents when she is older. Are most people still able to stay social while their baby is young?

Big pet peeve 😤

I can't stand when my husband grabs and uses my towel, to tell me he used it or after the fact of me getting ready to jump in. There's also the fact that he'll leave the mats dosages because he had to step out dripping wet to get it 😪 How is a used wet towel supposed to dry me and then I see how that man dries his 🍆 and I think yeah I don't want 🍆 towel rubbed all over my clean body! End rant 😅
