I just need to rant 🥲 I have no one else to rant to (mum drama)
So my mums a mix of things, narcissistic, manipulative, self absorbed etc etc.
The past 2 months we’ve been living in a different area (1hr drive away) before this we lived 30 mins away, and before that we lived 1hr30m away, all within the span of 3/4 years. When we lived the furthest away, she never visited until my son was born because we told her we absolutely won’t be driving with a newborn for that long, so she pretty much said we “forced” her to visit, she was the last one to meet my son.
Living 30 mins away, she only came round to drop our son off (if my partner absolutely could not go and pick him up) but they were never “visits” she’s never sat there and had a cup of tea or even a chat/gossip with me (she loves gossip) it would always be what I can only describe as a co-parent drop off situation, or she’ll come in and belittle my home, then leave.
Anyway, so I knew moving away again would mean I go back to being alone most days (my partner works 12 hours a day sometimes longer) I settled with this, she hated that I was “taking her grandsons away” I’m currently pregnant with my 2nd. We’ve been calling each other most days, in the beginning it was a joint effort, 2 months later it’s like I’m the only one trying to have a relationship with her? I told her the other day I was feeling extremely down and I was struggling with my mental health…something I never say…but I needed someone to know I wasn’t okay and needed help (my partners working away) her response “or no x” like what??? I just told you I feel like drowning etc etc and that’s it?
The past couple of weeks when I’ve been calling her she’s not been actively there you know? Like we’re on ft but she’s not acknowledging a single word I’m saying, she says all the time “I miss my grandson” I don’t drive. My parents drive & have constant free time…but won’t make the journey :( she makes me feel constantly unloved and just like I could disappear tomorrow and no one but my partner will notice :( I just want an adult conversation with her, but I’m left feeling like a burden, like “urgh she’s calling again”
How do I stop giving into her? I want to distance myself from her & stop letting her hurt me everyday. Because I’ve done the whole “let her reach out first” and I’m left feeling guilty and she will lure me back in with all these false loving messages.
SAHM sounds depressing
I’m pregnant and thinking about being a SAHM mom sounds a bit depressing to me, I’ve always worked, always held two jobs since 16 years old, that’s just how I like it, I work for my money. But bc of my husband hefty schedule and commute I might have to really be a SAHM. I don’t know why but I feel sad… being a stay at home sound great but the mental load behind it sounds depressing and lonely and it scares me, feeling like I’ll just be home and have all these things in my head sounds awful on the mental.

Hi! I’m a ftm to a almost 3 y/o 😭 I’m 25. I would say I’m a bit more mature than most whether from experience or just being a mom. I’m a homebody fs. I only go out to the library, casino, FOOD places, the park, ROSS (my sons fav store), etc. I don’t drink alcohol. I don’t mind if you do 💕 I’m looking for a friend who loves the same boring stable life. No drama. Just tranquillity & encouragement to grow as people. I’m also applying to nursing school this summer, so if there’s any science nerds hmu. I prefer a book over most … I don’t have social media. I barely came back to my hometown after being away for 7 years. I love being alone but I wouldn’t mind grabbing coffee & going to a picnic while our kids run around. I don’t have friends here especially w kids.
Looking for a friend 🫶🏼
Hi moms! I’ve tried this a few times before, but haven’t really gotten too far (sometimes it’s my fault as I was dealing with undiagnosed ADHD and just was not good at responding)
I am looking for friends! Preferably local, but I am open to anyone. I am in Burleson, TX.
I currently work from home for a psychiatry clinic and have no childcare, so my days are pretty busy and very minimal adult interaction LOL.
I am 27 years old and my daughter is 21 months old.
I enjoy reading, binge watching TV shows and doomscrolling Tiktok.
Just looking for someone who can keep me company throughout the day and build a solid friendship with.
