I'm a sahm in Colorado and I feel bad allot but I also don't want anyone raising my child. We had made a packed before getting pregnant that if i would become pregnant then i would become a sahm. No daycare fees and she is learning straight from me and not someone else.

Absolutely agree with ELZIA!

Could you look for a side hustle you do from home around childcare? Lots of options out there - Etsy, print on demand, social media - I personally make websites for companies which was easier to learn than it sounds and can be done in my own time.

Solo parenting

Solo parenting this weekend. Feel so incredibly lonely no one to see. Also struggling with insomnia etc so I am a zombie. Anyone else relate?

Toddler Trainers

Mama’s with boys with chubby feet, what trainers are we putting our boys in? I’ve tried alot of Nike trainers and they seem to be really narrow and uncomfortable for my boy. Any suggestions?

Financial struggle

Hey ladies 💕

I’m a stay-at-home mum and lately I’ve been feeling the pressure of the cost of living. My partner has been working so hard to support our family, and I hate seeing how exhausted he is.

To try and help out financially, I’ve recently started making candles from home. It’s completely outside my comfort zone, but I’m hoping it gives me a way to contribute while still being home with my little one.

I’d love to hear from other mums who have started a small business, side hustle, or found ways to earn an income while raising their kids. How did you get started, and what helped you keep going when things felt overwhelming?

Always looking to connect with other mums who get it 💛

Is it just me?

I’ve been trying to make mom friends for a few years now and I have met people but no one that has really stuck. I think and have been told that I’m friendly and can hold a conversation well but I don’t need constant contact with someone so I can be slow at responding to texts. I get so exhausted trying to make friends because no one actually adds to the conversation, they simply respond, then I’m left carrying the weight of keeping the conversation going so I lose interest very quickly. Does anyone else experience this? What do I do? I want to make friends but it’s been feeling like a lot of effort and no reward

Need support

Wish I had someone called as family in this country. Sometimes everything becomes too much and it goes over my head. But can’t turn to anyone to just get a hug or simply cry my heart out. Does woman really don’t have their own house ever? — feeling hopeless.
