Making friends as an adult is hard 😩

I’m a PG County/DC girl, mama, caregiver, DIY lover, and currently pregnant with my December baby. Looking for genuine women friendships. The kind where we can brunch, vent, celebrate wins, and actually show up for each other. Anybody else looking for the same?

Nursery

I’m sorry if I sound stupid but can someone please explain in dumb terms how nursery’s work applying and payment wise I’m self employed I made less than 10k last tax year this year will be about 15k ( what year does it go by when they mention earning x amount you are eligible for x)
How do I apply for funding. What funding am I entitled to do you do this before or after finding a nursery

I’m wanting to do maybe 3/4 days a week
I’m also on universal credit but I don’t get much from them maybe (200-400 a month) as I earn enough from self employment some months
I need my daughter to start as I know I can be earning more with the self employment but I don’t have time currently

Many thanks !!!

My husband cheated

While packing up my house (because my husband kicked me and my baby out) I found he hid condoms.
I texted him confronted and of course he pretended he didn’t know what it was.
I’m in shock I was already struggling with the idea that he just doesn’t love me 3 weeks after having his baby. But now to find out he’s been cheating or at least had the intention to?
I’m so hurt, confused, conflicted.
I can’t believe him.

Has your husband ever mentioned divorce?

During arguments he will always tell me that we've got until X amount of time. Let's say Christmas, until he files for a divorce. He's even looked at divorce lawyers before now during an argument. 9 years later and we are still married, he's not mentioned it for about a year now because I gave him an ultimatum but I still think about it.

The words he said and how many times he's done it. I've lost count tbh. I've never done it, for context and my reply is always "okay" because he's done it that many times I know now he won't follow through with it.

Still it hurts, the mention of it.

careers and motherhood

Any fellow high achievers or career mums who since becoming a mum just don't care about the working world at all anymore, but have to work for financial reasons and resent it?

Looking for your strategies for working through these feelings...
