Alone

I don’t know how to make friends. I’m a 30 year old woman, a wife, a mom. I’ve always just existed. I don’t even know how to talk to people. But I’m so lonely. Sometimes I even just text myself to try not to feel alone.

Urethra hurts

20 days since my elective and my urethra hurts, just standing or sitting, its hurting. I’m very wet down there too. I’ve been on antibiotics for 6 days for a possible UTI, and I also got prescribed a thrush cream as I’m also itchy, however it’s very red down there.

No one has tested my urine or checked etc. has anyone else had these symptoms? Do they go away on their own??

Friends🧍🏻‍♀️🫩

Hi everyone I figured I’d step out of my comfort zone and introduce myself since we just moved here and I don’t know a soul. I’m a stay-at-home mom who’s hoping to build a genuine community of kind, supportive women and moms. If I’m being honest, I’m a huge introvert, so making this post is definitely me pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. But I know meaningful friendships usually start with someone taking the first step. A little about me. I love baking from scratch, arts and crafts, texting throughout the day, FaceTiming, thrift shopping, browsing cute stores, beach days, being outside, trying new coffee shops, going on little adventures, and making simple memories with the people I care about. I’m happiest with good conversation, lots of laughter, and people who value genuine, drama-free friendships. I’d love to find friends who enjoy checking in on each other, planning playdates, grabbing coffee, exploring new places, or even just chatting while we fold laundry or bake something together. Building a village feels so important, and I’d love to meet people who are looking for the same thing. If any of this sounds like you, don’t be afraid to reach out. I’d love to get to know you

Anyone struggling to make mum friends or even make friends?

Since I’ve had my wee man and he’s turning 11 months old this month and all my other friends had their babies as well it’s like everyone went their different paths/ways and it’s like your left on your own and am I the only one that’s finding it so difficult to make friends?…

Step grandparent from Hell!!!

My baby will come from a double headed broken family. Where both sets of grandparents are divorced and remarried. My husband’s mother is a dream MIL I love her. My own mother is MIA and stuck in her own world somewhere in Ohio far away from us and doesn’t care. As is my father (he’s never been around) my issue is my FIL’s wife.
This woman has allowed herself to sit and fantasize and build unspoken expectations about my pregnancy experience and has made it all about herself. All of my very simple, very modern boundaries are unfair and suddenly specifically pointed towards her. She’s made my first pregnancy all about her feelings.
I never had an issue with her before even though my husband and BIL and MIL have all told me that she was nightmare to them back in the day and kept the boys away from their father by acting like brat when she didn’t get her way. She is younger than her husband by maybe 8 years. I am freshly F30. This woman has to be no older than 40 and no younger than 38.
Tell me why she thinks she has the authority to treat me like a child who made a mistake in high school and got pregnant. I have told her several times that I am not a child who needs lectured or corrected. Period. I am a 30 year old adult who has been waiting for my chance and my dreams of being a mother to come true.
Well, she makes that all about herself as well. “What about my dreams of being a grandmother, it’s unfair for you to think I’m not entitled to her too. When we are the ones who have been so kind to you”
So your love and kindness is conditional to how much access you have to MY child.
She randomly blocks me on social media and then will unblock me to comment on my posts and harass me. Random psycho check-ins where she feels the need to just lay into me and my choices as a mother. How I’m hurting her feelings. I don’t care any more.
This woman is so entitled I’ve met her maybe 15xs in the 8.5 years I’ve been with my husband. She thinks that makes us close, blood related. That I should want her there to hold my hand in the hospital. I don’t even want my own sister there. But that’s another thing that makes me so unfathomable to her. That I want privacy. Right now she’s mad at me because she doesn’t know my address and she literally thinks she is entitled to access my home whenever she wants. I really wish app let me post more than one photo because I’ve got screen shots.

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.

Need Friends!

Looking to build my village. In my 30's, so hard to make friends. I am shy but once I open up there is no stopping me! Haha just trying to build my village and someone I can get close to to be able to vent about life and get advice. Looking for someone who is looking to create lifelong friendships
