Hard second time round

I’ve recently had my second baby and struggling with no village. My parents are dead, my mum died last year before I got pregnant and she was a massive support to me especially when I was a first time mum.

I live an hour away from my family (siblings) and I still see them once or twice a month but it’s just not the same as having my mum here.

I used to FaceTime her 3/4 times a day from the moment I was up till I’d go to bed even whilst I was working! She would always check on me to make sure I was ok and I had that person I could ask anything. Now I don’t have that and it just feels such a shame.

My siblings are great but it’s just not the same as a mum, and I think because we are all grieving still, we all need support not just me.

I’m not really asking anything, I don’t know I’m just a little lost if I’m honest.

I don’t know that it helps but just wanted to say I totally get it and feel your pain. My parents died a long time ago so were not around for my first or second baby. But for my first I was living in London and had a friend next door. I’ve since moved to a new area and so for my second I have nobody and it’s really hard xx

Hello there mamas!

Are there any jobs that are friendly towards pregnant women and hiring? I’m looking for an extra income to save up on a house

Friend on this app

Anyone else just sick of people putting in their bio or on a group page that they want to make friends and meet up but when you message them the conversion goes dead fast and they don’t seem interested. It’s hard when you have no friends as it is and socially awkward so you don’t go out either and hoped to make friends on here and eventually meet up. So annoying

Looking for a momma bestie ✨💕

This is me... No makeup, acne, hair falling out... Me 😂

I know Imma bout to sound desperate 🥲 but I'm looking for not just a friend. But a bestie to do life with. We can talk, cry or laugh about anything. You NEED to love to video chat. I'm one of those where I'll call you just to clean or stare at 😂

I'm 28. I have a 2 year old son and I'm married to my best friend! I'm in Trussville Alabama. But open to long distance. I have Cystic Fibrosis. I don't drive right now (maybe in future) so meeting up may be a little harder at the moment. I love Jesus! I love any type of crafts. I love gaming and watching shows like friends, medical and crime. I don't smoke or drink (just a personal choice). I'm caring, loving, a good listener, chill, funny and looking for that good ole bestie genuine friendship. Message me and comment if interested. This feels so desperate 😂💕
