How do you accept money?

A childhood friend offered to send me $100 because he knows I’m going through a tough time. I’ve never been offered money before and have never asked anyone to borrow money. I don’t even know how to answer yes. It feels so weird. We only speak through Instagram so I don’t think he still has my number.

Do I reply with my phone number and say “you can send it through Zelle or Apple Pay” — that sounds so crazy to me.

Someone please help!

Be careful, money tends to come with strings attached!

I have a friend who has asked for money on ig but not personally. She posts it on her stories and the amount she needs. Its basically like a fundraising opportunity as she is an artist and is between jobs often. I think you could potentially acquire more funding if you present it as a go fund me campaign but yea. No shame. Hes obviously close enough to you that he knows your situation. Just offer up how he can send the money

Feeling done

I’m really not enjoying motherhood at all like I miss my life without kids. I constantly feel so overwhelmed and overstimulated, my children’s dad really robbed me from a soft & safe experience. I’ve literally been in survival mode since having my first born and I just feel like I can’t breathe. When they cry I want them to stfu, when they touch me I don’t want to be touched like I feel so disconnected with them and I just don’t want to do it. I do it for the sake of it, bc I love them but it’s like I don’t want this life at all I’m so over it. Has anyone felt like this? How can I move past it I’m tired

🚨 Bestie Application Now Open 🚨 😂💕

Okay y’all… where’s my person? 🥹
I’m looking for that one best friend that’s basically like, “Yep, that’s my girl.” 😂 Someone to text every day, send random memes and TikToks to, gossip about absolutely nothing, celebrate each other’s wins, vent when life is life-ing, and remind each other we’re doing our best.
Let’s hype each other up, motivate each other, check in even on the hard days, and build a friendship that actually lasts. I don’t want a conversation that dies after two days—I want a real friendship where we both put in the effort.
Bonus points if you’re clingy (the healthy kind 😂), don’t mind double texts, and are down for random “what are you doing?” messages at 2 p.m. because I found something funny.
If you’re looking for a loyal, drama-free bestie too… girl, comment or message me! Let’s see if we click. 💖✨

Feel really worried and scared :(

My husband has been super unreasonable during my postpartum period especially with boundaries around his family. He is now suggesting going to his family’s staycation with my baby who will be 6 weeks old and if I don’t go he is willing to take baby without me. He seems to want to go for a whole day.

Does anyone know if he can do this or if I should speak to the health visitor or something

Birth Control

Has anyone gone back on any form of birth control since having their babies yet? Im so unsure what to do, I never went on any type of birth control after my first as I found my mental health was so bad on the pill, but I don’t want to risk getting pregnant again as we are definitely 2 and done

could you be friends with someone with very different opinions to you?

i think we’ve lost the ability to do this as a society. don’t get me wrong, i couldn’t be friends with someone racist or homophobic, but if one of my friends had a different “big opinion” (anti-vax or anti-abortion or voted reform) or whatever i can’t imagine dumping them
