Do you get any baby-free time in your day?

Mums, do you get any baby-free time in your day? Time for just you. Just to be.

I feel terrible but I find it difficult to be with my baby all the time. I just feel like I need time away from her sometimes. Apart from my husband I have no one else around to help with the baby.

Only in the evening when baby is asleep and I have the monitor on, or if I give my son to his dad and say I'm taking a shower I'll get 10-15 minutes to myself 😅

Only during nap time and after they're asleep in the evenings! We've had maybe 2 nights out where the in-laws have watched them but it just caused chaos for a day or two afterwards with disrupted routines and clinginess that it almost doesn't feel worth it 😭

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. 💖✨

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!

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

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
