Mum friends

Why do other mums give up on friendships and making the effort? I have a 14 month old and throughout my maternity leave I was often going to different groups to get us both out and in doing so I made a small handful of friends with similar aged babies. Had a good few months where we’d meet up fairly often and could always message when needed. 2 of these said friends disappeared with no word at the start of the year the rest I have not seen since before my babies birthday. I seem to always have to be the one to make the effort or make the suggestion of meeting which even then it takes weeks to organise. Was meant to be seeing someone today whose now made a pathetic excuse and cancelled. I don’t understand how there are mums who have a regular and consistent group of friends? It makes such a huge difference seeing other people and I’d love for my lo to have other babies to hang out with. Am I the only one or am I doing something wrong?!

I’m trying to figure some things out for myself

Do you genuinely like touching your partners penis? Of course I’d hope you want to please them but like do you want to and crave his penis? Or is it closeness and general penetration?

Having my daughter made me hate my career

I am 2 months postpartum (10 weeks) and I return to work tomorrow. My daughter is the sweetest baby girl, she is so easy to care for, breastfeeding has been a breeze, she barely cries, sleeps well, and smiles and giggles soooo much! I love spending time with her throughout the day but being a SAHM isn’t in the cards for me/realistic. Before her, I loved my career in ABA working with children on the spectrum. I’m a year away from finishing my program working towards my BCBA. It was my passion, and I loved it. I was great at it. But the idea of leaving my daughter brings me to so many tears and emotionally I cannot handle it. Prior to starting work I went places alone for a few hours (appointments; hair, nails, etc…) and I legit was itching to get back home to her. I have a lot of mom guilt about being away and missing things with her. I’m crying typing this just thinking about it. I know I have to go back to provide her a better life but I just wanted to know I’m not alone in that, and if resenting work/my career is normal in this stage.

I now want to be a SAHM 😩🤔

My daughter just turned 4 months. She's the cutest little button and I cannot stay away from her too long. I'll have separation anxiety. I was supposed to return to work after my six weeks (May 15, 2026) but I extended it and is supposed to return back to work on the 17th of this month. Im literally freaking out! I might extend it longer but I need money to support my family. Im a police officer and that alone freaks me out due to mandatory overtime. Idk I have a big decision to make. In only 2 weeks 😩
