Can I be real for a second ?

I’m honestly getting so irritated with this app. 😭 I joined because I actually wanted to make a genuine mom friend, not have the same conversation over and over just to get ghosted.

Like… does anyone actually want to be friends? I’m tired of the dry conversations that go nowhere and people saying “we should hang out” but never following through.

I want a real friendship. Someone I can text every day, go on coffee runs or Target trips with, get our nails done, have playdates with our kids, and actually grow with over the years. I don’t want another conversation that’s dead in two days.

I know making friends as an adult is hard, but I didn’t think it’d be this hard. 😩 Please tell me I’m not the only one feeling like this.

Sexless

Anyone else not having sex with their partner after having a baby? Our baby is nearly 6 months and I think we’ve literally done it about 3 times since baby was born …

I literally say about it all the time and he either ignores and changes the conversation or will agree and when it comes to it has an excuse. Starting to get really fed up. I know it is selfish but I also have needs…

Intimacy with partner

We are first time parents to an 8 month old. I’ve had bad PPD and complications with my cesarean so intimacy has been limited. My partner has been fine about it- never pressures me or anything but the other night our baby fell asleep on the sofa and we were watching a film. He tried to initiate but with the baby there - albeit asleep it just felt weird.

I want that part of our lives back but I don’t know how we can with the baby always there. We don’t have much support around us to leave him with. How does everyone else manage it?

Sorry to ask about Christmas in July

But I like to plan ahead to spread the cost over the latter half of the year.

I'm looking for suggestions for gifts for adult family members. I feel like I buy the same things every year (candle, shortbread, socks blah blah) and it's boring and expensive! And I'm not really sure how much people actually like these gifts.

I wanted to do something a bit different and hopefully more cost effective this year but I don't know what.

Any suggestions?

Friends would be great lol

Hi! I’m one tired momma who is always bored but always busy at the same time. I could use more people to talk too! Be besties as people say lol!

Co parenting?

So I left my baby daddy in April. And he has come to visit where I moved to w my fam . I have been way happier here. He slides for about a week and it’s been hell. We argue all the time & I don’t want to see him or his family ever again. So much so I agreed to let him take our son to his county 7 hours away for a week in August. We live 7 hours away but I never want to deal with my baby daddy & his fam again. What can I do ? He’s just one of the most inconsiderate, manipulative, assholes I have met. He complained to me about how a week is too long for him to take our son since he works but I have been unemployed since OUR son was born. And then he complains that I’m trying to keep him from his kid …Nothing in his life has changed. I just don’t want him here anymore. Me and my family tried to go out since he’s here to spend time with his son and he complained and set the negative tension mood that he always does. Me and my fam are not here to cater to him like … how u still gonna ask me to pay for stuff if im the one watching the baby 24/7. Like everyone in my fam works too. Me and my son ain’t even living w my baby daddy he has all the time in the world to make $. I don’t want anything to do with my baby daddy but I still have to deal with him. My son will probably be miserable for a week without me and my fam but my baby daddy has rights. What does everyone else do?

Looking for drama free friends

Hi! Southern California looking for friends without the petty mom drama. Everyone I've met just gossips about the others who aren't present that day and I'm honestly over it. Just want to meet people who are down to do stuff, want to hangout with or without kids, and shoot both fun and serious shit about life.
