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

Dont know what to do. SAHM wanting to leave husband

Wanting to leave husband and take my kids with me across state lines to live with family. Have never really had a job. Every time I tried to get one he would quit talking to me until I left the job. Always told me he was the provider and I was a stay at home mom. But now its getting bad between us. He gets jealous of our kids getting to spend time with me, he has mood swings like no other. He is very back and forth on everything making it unstable for the kids. There is so much more, but I feel stuck because of having no job or way to support my kids. Let alone a lawyer that costs $6,000. Any advice or suggestions hoping would be helpful.

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!!

Finding motherhood lonely

This is my second child and I find being a mother incredibly lonely. I don't have many friends they all work full time or live a long drive away so I don't see them that much. All my family work full time and don't have kids.

I feel isolated at times, I would say I'm an introvert so I don't tend to leave the house much, but if someone was to communicate with me first I will talk back I'm incredibly shy at times no knowing what to say.

I am 32 years old and I feel like it's hard to make friends at this age.

I take my 4 month old to a baby group on Fridays for an hour but it's not the kind of group where you can talk to other mums. I want to force myself to go to more baby groups in the week but I'm so anxious about going somewhere new.

I feel like she's a bit behind as she doesn't see other babies much to watch them.

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!
