I feel so terrible leaving toddler at nursery

She's been going nursery for 10 months. But as I dropped her off today she cried and screamed, she just wanted to stay with us. The look in her eyes.

I work a 9 to 5 from home and my partner works longer hours.

I tried for 18 months to work whiles she was at home with me. But it became Impossible, she needed stimulation which I couldn't provide while working. Trying to balance the both resulted in me going into a Pip and almost loosing my job.

I feel so lost and don't know what to do.

Maybe see about booking some time off and having a mummy daughter day or getting your partner to have some time off and have some family time. Maybe thats just what she needs

Is anyone else either on the verge or divorce or totally fine?

My husband and i have gotten into many huge and stupid fights since we had kids, most of the time ending in the big D word on his side. I got so tired of hearing it that I took my wedding ring off for 24hours honestly hoping he'd even look at me long enough to notice and nothing. Share your stories with a confused mama please.

I’d love to genuinely know if there are other mums out there wanting this like I do?

I’m a mama of three on the Gold Coast who, in all honesty, has spent years searching for a real community of mothers. Women who are devoted to their kids AND to themselves. Mothers who are in the thick of it but still crave the things that light them up as a woman, alongside other mums who genuinely get it.

I’m creating a new community on the Gold Coast centred around regular, curated experiences for like-minded mothers. Think a Saturday morning Pilates class followed by coffee, an afternoon pottery and wine workshop or a meet and soak session at a local bathhouse. Experiences that are social, nourishing and exclusively for members.

Would you go to something like this?

Group chat?

I’m postín incógnito only because I’m sure there will be someone will be upset of me saying this for some reason.
I need a SMALL like no more than 10 people group chat of women who understand there might be a day or so I don’t respond because life gets busy sometimes. I’ve been kicked out of three groups just for not responding the required 5 messages a day.. and when you continue to add new people everyday how are we supposed to get to know each other personally when there’s 20+ people and people are going in and out … I’m desperate to make an actual friend group that understands at this point..

Has anyone ever just given up everything to start over?

I am a single mother. I have a career, I own a home, and I grew up in this town. There’s nothing pulling me anywhere else, but I look around and I hate everything about our life… the people are fake, and no one actually cares about me or my children. I have no friends, my family is so toxic, and I have no one. Like I see people I know everywhere I go, but when I fill out forms for my kids and get to the emergency contact section, there’s not a single person I can list there. It’s very eye opening to be alone while surrounded by people. I feel like I’d be happier surrounded by no one and feeling alone without the fake niceties and drama. I fantasize about selling my house and moving somewhere else all the time, but then the world feels so big, and I feel so small, and I don’t know where to even begin looking for a new place to start over. I just know I need to leave and start over for my children. Has anyone ever done anything like this? How did you decide where to go? How did you switch everything about your life at once (home, career, routines, etc.)? Did you regret it? Please any advice you can give me.

Bumble bff

Anyone made friends from bumble bff? I am considering using it. This app is lovely for support in app but can't seem to make any real consistent friends that want to actually hang out in real life here.
