Returning to work

Really stuck with what the right thing to do is. I’m due back in a few weeks with my 1 year old son starting nursery. He and I have not been seperate this whole year and I am dreading letting him go. Previously I worked 40hrs a week and have now dropped to 19.5 over 3 days so I’m barely going to be earning anything. Even after funding it could still be over £200 a month nursery fees. It just seems so pointless earning so little to pay someone else to care for my child. I’ve tried applying for jobs that are early morning or evening to bulk up my hours away from when my child’s awake but I’ve not yet been offered interviews. A friend of mine recently started her lo at nursery and has pulled them out after a few weeks as the cost wasn’t working out for them. Not sure what alternatives there are or how to know what’s right for all of us

Maybe I have an unpopular opinion

Why does it matter so much to others if you are straight, gay, lesbian, bi, nonbinary etc (yes, I know there are several others, but I gave up a while ago keeping up with all the variations). If you are not harming anyone or anything and are not pushing your lifestyle on someone else, THEN WHO CARES. I've seen so many posts saying "does this make me gay or bi" Honestly, who says sexuality is linear? If you like it and it's not hurting anyone then go for it. You only have one life.

Now I have to admit I do have an issue when you identify as an animal or alien or something like that.

Don’t like sex

I don’t want to have sex with my husband anymore because it’s boring and has become a chore. But at the same time I don’t want him masturbating. I feel so conflicted. I even hate it when he cums in his sleep because I’m wondering what he’s dreaming about!

Tonight he was trying to initiate and I just didn’t want to because I’m on my period (which takes up half the month - another story for another day) and he fell asleep and an hour later was up and masturbating in the bathroom. It lasted like 5 seconds so he must have been desperate.

I just don’t know what to do, I love my husband but I don’t really like sex that much. I don’t want him to get bored and find someone else to do it with so I’m pretty stuck! Does anyone else feel the same?

Lost of interest

Hi. I don’t know what I should do… My husband and I rarely have sex, and when we do, it isn’t good for me and it lasts maybe two minutes. I’ve honestly lost interest in sex. Some days, even giving him a kiss feels really difficult for me. I’m starting to feel really scared about it… Has anyone been in the same situation? Any advice?

I need help

When me and my partner met he already had a 6 month old girl, who I fell in love with straight away, but when me and my partner fell pregnant with my baby boy it all changed, I said that nothing would change but chemically or physically it did! Now I always feel like I’m being told that I’m not making an effort with his little girl even though I look after both because he works…. I domt know what to do

Embarrassed

I’ve been a stay at home mom for 15 years and am really shy and don’t really like interacting with people cuz I get awkward and don’t know what to say but with having older kids I have to interact with friends/girlfriends parents and after being with a 6 month old baby all day it’s like I don’t know how to talk to adults
:( just venting thanks for listening

Looking for someone to match my crazy!

Okay, I’m officially looking for friends 😂

Bonus points if:

- You can beat me at Mario Kart
- You love random late-night conversations
- You’re down for movie marathons or gym talks
- You understand the chaos of mom life
- You don’t mind a curvy gym rat who quotes movies way too often

Making friends as an adult is weird, so here I am shooting my shot 🤝
If you’re funny, genuine, and slightly unhinged in the best way… hi.
