Haven't been on holiday

Im feeling really guilty that we haven't gone on a holiday with our little girl. Im a teacher so it would have been amazing to go away during term time but she started army crawling at 5 and a half months, she hates the pram, hates the car, isn't a good sleeper and can whinge/cry quite a lot if im not holding her, so the thought of going away just seemed/still seems so stressful. However, seeing other people go away with their little one makes me feel like ive missed out on making special memories. I think its because there is so much pressure to do every activty, club, adventure etc on maternity leave.

Anyone else feel the same?

Tbh we have only had 5 days in haven this year. We usually go away but its just too expensive. Making memories at home is a perfect idea too ❤️

We stayed in the uk for holiday but haven’t gone abroad

I also work in a school and feel exactly the same. My little one needed a really strict routine else he would really struggle. I go back to work in September and I’m overwhelmed with guilt, we definitely put too much pressure on ourselves as Mothers. We have our whole lives to make memories with them ❤️

I haven't taken mine anywhere, but we are planning one next year. I'd rather take my LG away when she can get more out of it, have a little toddle around and stuff.
First year memories are just about getting to know each other, that can be anywhere especially at home.

Im a teacher too and we went away in June to haven and had a lovely time. Weve booked an abroad holiday next year and little one will be 22 months

Random question

Hi guys random question does anyone use Clearpay and have gift card?? That I could potentially use? I get money every Saturday but it’s only my CB so I could send it from that. I’m just struggling at the moment and need to get a few bits in for the kids. I get my uc on the 1st of every month. I’ve had an unexpected bill this month and it’s left me short.

Please don’t judge

Thank you everyone

Do you check your partner‘s phone often for dodgy stuff/cheating

I’m only asking this because there’s a few married men that I’ve spoken to on dating apps.
I didn’t know they were married until they told me so I take it they were cheating

My question is, as a spouse how do you not check your partner‘s phone?

Sad and hurt

Thought I made a friend but then get ghosted not sure why. Plz someone be a good true friend to me! That’s what I need and want. Want someone I can depend on always and someone that will be honest with me as a friend

Looking for a friend

Looking for my person 🥹💕 Anyone else here hoping to find a genuine best friend? I’d love someone I can talk to about literally anything, laugh with, make plans with, and build a friendship that actually lasts. If you’re looking for the same, please come say hi!

Is this app worth it..!!
