Any girlies wanna become besties??

As a stay at home mom, it is hard for me to get out- and hard for me to do much of anything besides call and text. When I do get out, I love to hang with my friends and read, write, color, or sleep (honestly 😅). My kids are 6, 4, and 2- the oldests are boys and my youngest is a girl. They love games, brain rot (im definitely not a fan), and bluey, coloring and drawing pictures. If anyone is interested- shoot me a message!!

Baby’s surname

My partner messaged other women during my first trimester when I was signed off sick and struggling apparently I didn’t give him enough attention; since then he’s been lying constantly about anything and everything and even admitted he has a problem. He’s moved out and I’m 6 months pregnant already a single parent and juggling it all alone.
Of course he’s welcome to all appointments, the birth, and can be as involved as he likes but am I wrong in now considering taking his surname off the list and keeping mine?

He believes this gives him less of a connection to his son and makes him less of a dad?

Maternity allowance...

Hey everyone, I'm currently 31 weeks today and after hounding my HR/Payroll dept they finally got back to me and because I moved NHS trusts during early pregnancy I'm not eligible for SMP.
They said they'll need to give me a SMP1 to apply for maternity allowance..
has this happened to anyone else?
To make things worse the lady is on AL for two weeks now and no one can send me the form so I can get the ball moving... as I hear it's quite a lengthy process????
Is anyone else going through similar? Xx

Traumatic Birth & Postpartum/Best Friend

Looking for someone to talk to. I need a friend so badly. Motherhood has been absolutely so isolating and lonely. I had a really difficult labour and postpartum has been really hard. If anyone is up to chatting I’d really love a friend.

Am I in the wrong?!

My partner has asked if he can go play darts and out drinking tonight… I’m 38 weeks pregnant and we have a 7 year old. I never feel comfortable with him going out as he usually comes back in a state. I never stop him going but I just feel like he isn’t thinking about me. I dunno is it just me and my hormones?!

Does anyone ever respond on this app?

I need someone to talk to, I’ve been stressing out with my marriage and it’s really taking a toll on me. I’m in California and would love to make some friends to hang out with. It’s really hard to make friends at my age but it’s worth a shot. I have 4 kids and sahm. I need to go out and get away once in a while :)

Graduation gift ideas- 8th grade

My step daughter is graduating 8th grade in about a month. I want to surprise her with a gift. She lives with her mom. So I would be mailing it or through Amazon or similar. Any ideas? I don’t have a lot to spend but I want to get her something great. She’s such a good kid and unfortunately we are going through a lot as a family right now.
