Are friends really be allowed to say anything to each other?

Or are there subjects that should be off limits and judgments not voiced out loud?

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

What do I do??

I am 7 months pregnant and today had a horrible gut feeling when I woke up, I checked my partners phone and unfortunately found flirty exchanges between him and this woman and a 20 min phone call late last night that HE initiated whilst he was out supposedly playing ‘football’ with his mates. I confronted him about it and he cannot see the issue at all.

For me this is a huge betrayal. Whilst I’m at home filling out mortgage applications, he seems to apparently be on the phone to another woman who I’ve never heard of before. Am I overthinking this? I want to run a million miles.

Am I a bad friend for denying being a Godmother to my best friend’s child??

I really need to know if I’m in the wrong here… okay here it goes. Years back my best friend got pregnant mind you this was her second pregnancy after miscarrying her first, which she never announced it to me until she was 7-8months in. That broke me because we shared everything… so with her second one I knew right off the bat, which brought us a bit closer then ever. Months after giving birth, she asked me to be her baby’s Godmother and at that time you guys have to understand I was dealing with a lot I just launched my business, I was in school, I made debts after debts It really was a blessing but the busiest part of my life. I had politely declined and stated my reasons and she just said “okay” with nothing else to say. We haven’t spoke since that day marking it 2years and boy I miss her soo much but I don’t know whether what I did was wrong enough for me to start and apologise first and make things right, or should I just leave things as is?? Help!!

Coffee/Brunch Meetup

Hi mamas 💛

Thinking of organizing a casual coffee/brunch meet-up sometime mid-June (Seattle area)!

Figured it’d be nice to connect with others in the same phase navigating sleep deprivation, feeding schedules, body changes, and everything in between 🤍

Super low-key, baby-friendly, and judgment-free. Nothing fancy, just a chance to get out, chat, and meet other moms. Little ones are totally welcome but not required — come however you can!☕️👶

If you’d be interested, comment below on your preferred date or DM me and I’ll coordinate a date that works for most of us!

Nappy bin in the nursery - how to reduce smells!

Sorry mines just a random silly one😆 but in my little boys nursery is his changing area and nappy bin and despite having a bin that seals, when we shut the bedroom door, it shuts the wee / poo smell into the room and it becomes such an overwhelming smell in his room.

I just wondered if people had any tips to keeping the room smelling fresh?
I darent use any air fresheners in case they have harmful ingredients. I change the bin ever 2-3 days.
Any little tips would be great 😌

WE ARE MARRIED BUT I STILL DONT TRUST HIM!!

Sooo… I’ve been in a relationship with my now husband for 2 years and we just got married about a month ago. This relationship was the best thing that’s ever happened to me and he confirmed it himself after being cheated on in previous relationships. The first year we couldn’t say away from each other to the point he promised to marry me. Fast forward 2 years in I had a gut feeling and went through his phone and found he was flirting with over 10 women. (I still remember all those chats as if it was yesterday) I confronted him, he was sincere and apologised and vowed never to do it again. 2 months later I found out he was talking to his ex basically talking about how he could have done things differently. Again I confronted him he apologised and promised to never do it again. I forgave him… 😩another month or 2 later I discovered he was having sexual chats with a women basically miles away and on top of that had started talking with another ex of his cause she owed her money and was organising to get it back by driving to her soon. Again I forgave him but the relationship was never the same we tried fixing it and it seems like he has changed and he even proposed and vowed to be loyal but I can’t trust him anymore. How do I go about this😭😭
