Feeling lonely

I ventured out to a soft play with my daughter today and it was full of mums in their own little groups. I felt like a real outsider. Whenever my daughter approached the other babies it was as if a lion had just entered. I almost felt like my daughter couldn't play with the others because her mum wasn't part of the group.

I wanted to have the confidence to ask to join however the feeling of being judged put me off.

I always feel super lonely coming to these places as I always seem to be the only mum on her own. I would love to meet others and go together however ive tried arranging plans with other mums before on this app and they've made plans but never shown.

Is it just me or do others feel this way ?

I took my little girl to soft play today too for the first time on my own and I also felt like this but I am also quite an awkward person though so I find it hard to mingle with other mums if the option was ever there 🤦🏽‍♀️

Hi lovely , I don’t live far . I have a little boy who’s 15 months and a little girl who is 5 months . Happy to look at meeting up . If you want to message me xxx

I feel the same way sometimes, we’ve been going to Tree babies which I think massively helped me feel a little bit more confident taking my daughter out by myself. Making mum friends is so difficult when it seems everyone else already has their own friends, my dm is always open if you want to chat or arrange a coffee or anything x

I dont live in Doncaster anymore I live in Howden but id be more than happy to meet up with your and your little one if you wanted!! My little boy is almost 4 but he is happy playing with any kids any age as long as he can play😆 feel free to get in touch if you want to and we can sort something! Xx

A little revenge

So I been going through a lot, found out my partner was cheating on me, got pregnant, got in a car accident and after a few weeks we got pregnant again, I shouldnt have taken him back bc he was still with the other girl. I was nice to tell the girl he was playing with both of us when I found out. Anyways she didn’t care. He didn’t want me to tell his parents so he try to harm me and the baby two nights in arrow before telling his parents, we talked after a whole misunderstanding since his family kick me out. I did post ànd expose him on social media which made them more angry, have it time ànd in two weeks he come back but just lying and bc I wanted my baby to grow with his dad I took him in but he was lying he was still with the other girl while telling me he wanted our little family and stuff. I ended up finding out and went to the girl again asking her the truth and he had been lying to her as well ànd rejecting our baby. Long story short I got so upset bc there is more, so I called and reported him to his work for stealing goods, and buddy punching manipulating his work time, as well as I reported the girl’s parents to immigration since they use fake papers to work. I know it’s bad 😭I should let karma or God take care of it but I can’t with all the pain 🥺I was being nice to both of them how could they? How can I turn this type of person that I’m not.

Feeling gross

So I was trying to seduce my husband because he was standing in the bedroom doorway when I took my nightgown off he just gave me a look that broke me he looked so disgusted by me now I'm left crying alone in the bedroom I don't know if its just my pregnancy hormones overreacting or if he actually gave me that look idk what to do

Routines please

Please can someone share their day/ night time routine. I know it’s early but I’m all over the shop 🥹🤣

When you randomly run into naked pictures of women selling sexual stuff ,how do you feel immediately?

Obviously to each their own ,I’m just curious what women think obviously we all mind our business.
We know men pretend to hate publicly but privately is different story.

Moral question? what would you do

Hypothetically- you’re an of girl. You’ve just got a DM from one do your biggest spenders wife’s asking is he’s subscribed do you …

Like what?

I don’t get why I see people asking for friends then you message them and they start off being so dry like you bothered them and there not interested to talk but there making 20 post talking about how they don’t have friends or need people to talk to ? What’s up with that
