Having trouble connecting with other mums...

I'm having trouble connecting with other mums. I don't really have any friends and lost most of them once I had a baby due to the fact they are still partying and living their lives. I'm 27 yrs old so im not that young and idk how to talk to other mums I shut off mostly as when they talk about pregnancy or birthing my storie is sad and I dont want pitty as at the end of the day I have my healthy baby. I love park and playdates but it's just the talking that I don't really know what to say my whole day is about playing, feeding and napping my baby who is now a toddler but routine hasn't changed much besides I now study I.T ( Information Technology) but I just dont know how to keep a friendship going... and i don't like to go out without my baby's. 😪

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated 💛 TIA X

I’m going through the same thing… it’s hard trying to get back to the old you. This new phase in your life is one you have to find a way to navigate. Try chatting up with some mums on the app.. I’m 30 also going back to school and I don’t know how to talk to mums too.🥹

Hiya girls, would you be upset over this or am I being too sensitive ?? 😢

So basically, how would you girls feel if your partner only took notice of you for his own sexual pleasure without making you feel loved, wanted & appreciated? So basically, my partner will only take notice of me when he wants something, no compliments - if I show him an outfit on and I feel good every thing is “looks ok” but will compliment himself. Tell him I need to feel loved and wanted to and he goes “I gave you a cuddle the other day” - just to clarify he said and I quote “come here go I can feel your 🍒”. He told me he sees nothing wrong with it and I’m just saying all this stuff and he will never be good enough?? Am I wrong for being upset over this?? I want a partner not just feel like I’m here for someone’s pleasure.

Idk who needs to hear this but…

If you get overwhelmed by going to the grocery store and having to decide what to cook every week (like I do), you could try looking up recipes on your favorite platform and placing a curbside order.

Just a suggestion. 🤗

Stealing from large chain, Fortune 500 type companies is okay

I don’t think stealing is inherently bad.

How do you find your Birthdays since being a new Mums

Does anyone else feel different on their birthdays since becoming a Mum?

My little boy is 14 months now. This will be my second birthday with him here. I know it's a huge blessing and I am so lucky and love him to bits. In a lot of ways it's more special now.

All of my close family on my side have passed away now. No parents siblings aunties or cousins. I miss them like mad.

And friendships have changed dramatically as well over the the last few years.

Whilst I've been grieving some friendships drifted away which broke my heart when I needed them the most.

I left my home town years ago and my friendships groups haven't been consistent. I occasionally meet old friends that live further away from me.

I have had some fun birthdays over the years so I'm focusing on how nice it was to have that, but since being Mum it feels like no one cares to celebrate..

I think about people who have passed on my bday now. I do want to try and be positive but I just feel sad. Like I'll be happy when it's over.Ill try to do something but can't help this feeling

Can anyone relate?

"Falling pregnant"

When people say "I fell pregnant" I find it really annoying.
