A double pram 😂
That’s it poor child has nothing like the first I feel terrible haha!

I haven’t got much as kept a lot with my first child who’s now 2 but I am so not prepared as the first child 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

I don't even know where to start

The only thing I have already is the infant car seat as the one I wanted was massively discounted so got it while it was.. and one of my work friends has a brand new pram she said I could have.. but on my list other than this will be:
Clothes - more 0-3 and 3-6 than first size (predicted at least an 8lb baby!) as well as a cute coming home outfit
New mattress for cot, crib and Moses basket
New bag for on the pram
New bottles
New dummies
Nappies and wipes (probably bulk buy if I can)
Muslin squares (the bigger the better!)
New changing mats

I can’t think of anything else, but I’m quite lucky I have some stuff already for last time around ☺️

Im on my second child amd there is a 4 and half year gap. Ive kept moses basket and swing. But I've bought some clothing and got a 3 in 1 travel system. Also got a crib for when baby outgrown moses basket. Baby changing mat and packs of newborn nappies. Already have the monitor from the first. Still need other stuff like bottles ect

Haven't bought a thing get 🤣 however all I really need is clothing, bouncer and bottles as my little girl is only 2 and kept that majority of her stuff.

Maybe I’m a weirdo

I am single 40 year old with two children and I feel I don’t have any friends. I find it hard to make connections and when I do speak with potential female friends, I think I over compensate and talk for England. All I would like is a friend who I can be my true self with.

This shit is breaking me.

Feels like I've been reaching out for help for days now and still nothing. Im pretty sure when I lose my shit ppl will wonder why.

I’m straight but

Okay, so I’m straight and taken, but I keep having this weird situation where I really want to be flirted with and talked to by a woman. 😭 I can actually feel myself getting turned on by it, and lately I’ve been having thoughts about being with a woman too. 🥴🤷🏻‍♀️
Now I’m sitting here wondering… am I actually straight, or is there something I need to figure out about myself? 😂 I don’t even know if I should post this asking if I’m gay/bi or if I just want someone to talk to and explore these feelings with.

The problem is, I’m taken, so my Conscious is definitely telling me not to entertain anything. 😭

Alone and disconnected

I moved to an entire new state i March of last year after losing my job. My fiance and I were in different states because of our careers. We took that as a sign it was time for me to move so we could actually be together year round.

I was super active and immersed in community before the move. I was on a social volleyball, kick back, and softball team. I loved all my teammates. We bbq’d , hung out, really bonded into a family. My coworkers were my girls and we were tight. I had gym friends, college friends, my best friend. I MADE A FAMILY. Mind you I wasn’t even from this area.

But for some reason I haven’t been able to find that where I currently am. Now I was pregnant by September so that made it even harder to get out but I tried really hard before that. I found a gym, I tried some of the social leagues, I researched places to make friends on social media and it just still hasn’t worked. My pregnant was so lonely.

My fiance works 7 days a week and his career doesn’t allow a lot of spare time during the season. So I’m just feeling soooo alone and it’s make my PPD hard to get through.

Idk what to do anymore.

Would this make you question an online friendship, or am I overthinking it?

I have an online friend I’ve known for a while. We’ve FaceTimed, gone live together, talked regularly, etc. However, I’ve noticed that I’m often the one who has to reach out first.
The other thing that’s been bothering me is that over the last 3–4 months, he’s asked me for probably 4–5 different times. The amounts have been small — things like $5, $15, $30 — but I’ve never offered him money, and I’ve never actually sent him anything.
He’s recently started a new full-time job and says he won’t get his first paycheck until next week, which I understand can happen with a new job depending on the payroll schedule.
What really makes me question it, though, is that I’m literally due to have my baby any day now. I’ve been pregnant this entire time, and despite knowing I’m this close to giving birth, he’s still asked me for money multiple times over the past few months.
Am I wrong for feeling like that’s kind of off? It’s not even necessarily the amount of money — it’s the fact that someone I’m supposedly friends with keeps asking me for money when I’ve never given them any indication that I’m willing to do that.
Would you see this as a red flag that he may be keeping me around because he thinks eventually I’ll give in, or am I reading too much into it?

Friends always wanting to meet at places near them - how to approach

Whenever I see my friends they always suggest meeting somewhere say 10 mins from them but 40 for me. I'm getting a bit fed up being the only one having to do the longer drive all the time. How would you approach this?!
