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...

It’s a hard thing to do as a mother. I work part time for abit of a balance instead of returning full time. Sometimes you just have to remember who you’re going to work for. Knowing that I can go buy my son a new toy or some books ect. As silly as it sounds it gets you through the resent I think knowing you’re working hard for your babies :) x

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 !!!

no longer giving over the counterr..

I’ve received this from my Gp…

Dear ….
Further to your e-consultation, although you are entitled for free prescription in your pregnancy, but please note we are no longer prescribing any over-the-counter medication. I have helped you on this occasion, but for future prescription, you need to get it from your local pharmacy. I have prescribed cetirizine, which is the safest in pregnancy


Have they stopped?
And is this deffo good for pregnant ladies?

thanks ladies

Was my MIL saying I have a flat ass??

My MIL came over yesterday and I guess noticed I look like I’ve been working out and gave me a compliment.
I know that I don’t have much of a butt though (thanks breastfeeding.)
So she asked me if I follow a certain fitness girl on IG, she said “you should really check her out she has the best glute exercises.” I was like okay cool thanks.
Then this morning she went ahead and forwarded me the girl’s IG page and said “some cool things to try here.”

Am I crazy to think she was trying to tell me to work out my butt more 😅

HSV 1

My friend had something weird going on down there that they've now determined is due to an ingrown hair, but she got tested for all sti's and it turns out she has HSV 1. She's pretty sure her ex, who gets cold sores gave it to her but who knows how long she's had it as she's asymptomatic.

Intimacy

Hey guys I’m currently 36 weeks and 2days pregnant. Me and my partner have been trying to have sex but I’m just so uncomfortable with the belly being huge and all. Was wondering is there a way to make this easier ?
