Do you sometimes feel like a bad mom just because you want a little time for yourself?

My baby is almost 7 months old, and sometimes I really crave some me-time. When I ask other moms about it, the usual response is: ‘I can’t imagine going anywhere without a baby.’ It makes me feel a bit strange, like am I bad for wanting to catch up with my old life, even just for 2 hours?

Looking for friends to text, snap, call, or facetime

Its really hard to find friends in my area so I am looking for online friends that truly want to be friends. Who want to hang out from the comfort of our own homes but FaceTime with me while I clean my house, cook dinner or sit on my porch+

Anyone wanna be friends? 🫶

Don’t have sex unless he’s prepared to be a dad

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I think women shouldn’t sleep with a guy unless you’ve discussed how they feel about becoming a dad. Doesn’t have to be “what would you do if I got pregnant?” just a basic conversation to gauge if they are even interested in having kids or not.

Because if they say it’s a firm no, and you get pregnant, be prepared for the possibility that he will not man up and be there for you or your child. We’ve seen and heard about this exact scenario too many times sadly.

Now I’m not shaming any women who have found themselves in this position. It’s not their fault, it’s the deadbeat guy’s fault if he leaves after getting a woman pregnant. But we as women can at least going forward set a higher standard for who we choose to sleep with and not waste time with someone who tells us upfront they want nothing to do with becoming a dad.

Humble brag

What’s your humble brag? Something that you don’t sing about often, but people sometimes notice about you and then you are like… damn. I did that !

preparing for going back to work

Maternity leave has honestly been such a nice experience, and I’ve really settled into a routine that’s been working for us. But with full-time work starting back up in June, even thinking about it makes me anxious.

I’m very grateful that my daughter will be with her tias and cousin while I work until a daycare spot opens up, but I still can’t fully wrap my head around being away from her for 8 hours a day. Mentally, I don’t feel completely prepared, even though I know providing for my baby is important.

For the moms who’ve gone through this transition, what helped you prepare emotionally? Any tips or advice to make going back to work a little easier? 🥺
