Honest question 🥹 Does anyone else find it hard to make real mom friends on here? Some moms have messaged me, but many conversations stop at “hi, how are you?” 😂 I’d love to find a real connection with someone to talk, share, and support each other through motherhood. 💕 I speak Spanish and I’m learning English. 🤍

Hi mama, someone recently asked the question whether mamas really wanted to make friends because of the same reason! They come on but never follow through on responding and building a meaningful relationship together!
Nonetheless, I have made 3 good friends on here.

yes! it really was hard for me so i stopped swiping or trying to chat, I just wait now to see if anyone has

I'm finding it hard to start a conversation 😕 I don't want to start with the usual boring stuff.. I'm so much better to talk to in person!

Honestly this a fact. I have message /got like 20 messages. From different people and it always stops at how are you or how’s your pregnancy going

I would like to make a few friends. I feel like it's hard to make friends because they rather be with family and don't reach out to do anything. I'm always trying to initiate and that makes me feel bad and not wanted in a friendship.

Always it’s my 3rd time on here trying and it’s like super dead .. almost a waist in my opinion

Honestly, making friends on this app doesn't work.🤷‍♀️

Yes 100%, I’ve talked to one person on here that I have had a solid conversation with and talk to outside of the app on Snapchat but we don’t hangout because of distance

Relationships are difficult in general. Practice asking deeper questions- notice something they wrote on their profile and ask them about it. Ask their opinions and experience in different areas of life- parenting style, why they moved to the area they live in, what activities do they enjoy doing, what’s something they are passionate about, what was their childhood like and how are they changing the way they parent vs how they were parented. You have to be willing to ask those deeper more intentional questions even if it’s awkward messaging with a stranger

I have messaged so many women and it’s stops at a hi how are u doing I don’t care if it’s long distance friendship we moms that’s going through a lot and need a village of other moms get together I’m open to chat to women younger or my age or older let’s come together make a group chat talk I live in Chicago we can hang out

Avatar

yes its very hard. ive made a few but it normally ends with us stop stalking after a week or two

Avatar

I have always had a hard time making friend in general. I feel awkward and like im not very well liked 😅 (comes from trauma tbh) but i genuinely want to have friendships. Like it would be nice to hangout with mommy friends but also even if long distance I just want a genuine friendship with moms

Avatar

I thought it was just me that felt it was hard to make a connection

Avatar

I try and be optimistic about making mom friends but honestly most of you intimidate me 🥲

Maternity Pay

How do people do it? I’ve just dropped down to the Statutory Maternity Pay amount and it is obviously a lot lower than what I have been getting previously, with my enhanced pay from work.

How on earth do people balance this money to cover household bills, personal bills, food etc? Starting to panic a little and feel like I might have to go back to work early☹️

am i missing something?

it’s 4:32, my bd woke me up around 3 wanting to have sex and i declined. he woke me up at 4:32 YELLING that he’s tired of the way i treat him and if i don’t wanna have sex let him know so he can find it somewhere else (weird as fuck to say) but i’ve tried to explain to him that multiple times cause this isn’t the first time i’ve heard this. sex these days feels like a super hard task i can’t accomplish. shit be weird as fuck

Appointment

Has anyone been referred to obstetrics during pregnancy? I just wondered what it was for and what they do ?

Thanks

Sister in law problems

So me and my sil fell out when my baby was born, she turned on me and turned her family on me and almost split me and my partner up all because she got angry I wouldn't let her babysit my newborn (i had only met her a handful of times previously)
Instead of trying to get to know me and build a relationship/trust she demanded my partner take our newborn to her house and leave me at home (we had no issues previously just no real relationship) of course I said no but made it clear she was welcome to visit any time but she decided if she couldnt see my baby without me she wasnt interested! She sent me a ton of abusive texts saying I was weird for neing with my newborn all the time!
Shes very stubborn and my partner has always said its her way or no way!
My daughter is now 5 and we see her at family gatherings thats all, shes very fake towards me but at the se time passive-aggressive and so is her husband, he tries his best to avoid me (if she said the sea was red he would agree)
Ive struggled with this for years and even reached out to try build a friendship but its always thrown back in my face.
My partner knows she is nasty but still he wont tell her.
I just feel lost how to act around her and her husband, I tend to shy away but im thinking thats making me look like im in the wrong when in fact she 100% should be apologizing to me.
How do I act towards them?
