Is it just me?

So I joined this to make friends find connections, but I feel like I connected with some people had some conversations and then it just dies out fades out. I feel like and I might be the only one here, but I feel like some people are just on here just to know about other moms and then that’s it, or read posts of Mom‘s going through things and that’s just not why I did this like I moved to a town where I am new here. I don’t know anybody I’m a new mom well, he’s 18 months now but still I’m a new mom. He’s my only son you know and like I do everything and anything for him like 24/7 he is my life so I forgot about who I am and I’m trying to make friends here like I’m trying to create something so when it comes to his birthday parties I have Mom friends that bring kids! My older sister has kids and I go to her birthday parties they’re huge! I’m not jealous but at the same time, I envy that because that’s what I want. I want connections I want friends I want my son to have friends, I feel like maybe some people are just like here for the wrong reasons it sucks! I’m really here to try to make connections and I wish I can get the same effort I’m putting in back. Don’t get me wrong I connected with one girl and it’s been great haven’t set a play date yet.

but I know I’m ranting right now but that’s just how I feel and it’s hurtful the whole reason for this app is to feel better about not feeling like your the only one and there are people out there but I’m trying and it’s just been frustrating I guess

I know how lonely motherhood can feel. You only have one and he’s still so young! Don’t forget to take care of yourself as well. & All company isn’t good company. Also, We all have things going on that keeps us from socializing the way we used to or would like to.

I feel it’s hard to make contant conversation. Like it’s hard to make friends or if I am reading too much into it.

I feel so similar! With a 16 month old only baby, and we work from home and don’t do day care yet so it’s so hard to meet moms/toddlers. Have been on this app for only a few weeks but I wish it was a better situation somehow. I think I might just make a group/mini event in my area for moms with babies that age so we can meet all at once

Same!!! The thing is what we are really cautious about people too, so that’s probably why. I’m here too!!

Going back to work..

How does the nursery funding work? Is it 15 or 30 free hours? I am currently self employed and getting maternity allowance until December 2026.

My daughter was born on 2nd April, so does this mean we will have to wait until April 1st to start the new term, I've heard it's either January 1st, April 1st or September 1st?

Thanks in advance!

If you're only an ally in hindsight once the proper sources verify the obvious, or in theoretical situations, or when it’s finally socially acceptable then you aren't an ally at all, and in many cases you'll be waiting in vain forever

I'm talking about Palestine, about ICE, police brutality, and yes about Nolan wells and all the others just like him. Hindsight is 20/20, have some conviction in the times that matter most

Mirena coil- feeling tired and a bit down

I had the mirena inserted this time last week and I’m pretty sure in that time period I’m noticing that I’m feeing extremely tired almost reminds me of pregnancy tiredness and struggling to get out of bed in the morning plus slightly moody. Has anyone experienced this? I do have a 4 month old and 2 other kids so I’m obviously a bit run down at times but I do tend to run on adrenaline quite well and I do think in the last week I’ve felt different and quite foggy I just can’t explain it. Not lost much blood so I’m fine in that department. Unless I’m just genuinely tired and moody I’ve no idea. The doctor who fitted it really recommended it to me over the copper coil but now I’m starting to wish I had the copper one as it’s not hormonal. Would really appreciate anyone’s advice as feeling a bit rubbish x
