Do you know what a SAHDM is?

Just saw a video using this term, it had over 100k likes and hundreds of comments from women saying that they're SAHDMs.

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?

How do you make friends in adulthood?

I had no trouble making friends in high school, yet I struggled in college and struggle to find friends (that I don't work with) as an adult. Am I just too intimidated to talk to new people? Does anyone here feel the same? (Is that why we're all here?)

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.
