Birth control

I am sooooo sick and tired of birth control! I have a copper IUD(very effective) From the day I got my period I never experienced super bad cramps, this IUD has made my cycle so horrible, I've always been a heavy flow type girl but this BC has made it so much worse and the cramps!!!! Oh heck Jesus take me now, they are soooo bad. I want to switch but nothing has been more effective than this birth control.... I chose this type due to it being non hormonal and I was able to get pregnant right away after my 1st child... Does anyone have any other suggestions??? Currently dying..

I have the mirena IUD and LOVE IT! I’ve allways had issues with bc and cramps and very irregular periods from it and everything and this has completely stoped my period no cramps no nothing the only thing I will say I’ve noticed from it is major craving ( I ate a whole jar of pickled jalapeños by itself) I would say if you’re tired of it then have it taken out don’t suffer with it or whatever just because you know they say that the copper is the best or whatever, my OB/GYN doesn’t even use the copper ones. They don’t like them at all they do the one I have and one other one, a lot of people that I know personally and have had the copper IUD have nothing but complaints. My sister had the copper IUD and actually switched the one that I had and she’s the one that got me onto it! But definitely do whatever makes your body feel most comfortable. If you wanna have it taken out get it taken out don’t have somebody forced you to keep something in your body that you don’t want!!!!!

Working Mamas - Help Please!

I’m due to return to work next month after my second maternity leave, currently at work I do three days, Mon-Wed. I’ve been offered to work Thursdays as well and I’m in two minds if I should.

Obviously the additional money will be a huge help, but it will mean less time with my girls and once my eldest starts school next year, after school childcare costs will be massive.

I’d also like to have a third little one, but after working out childcare costs once they’re in school I’m just not sure it would be possible 😭 the extra day at work would help with that cost, but it’s also the reason the cost is higher 🤦🏼‍♀️, just feel either way I’m losing! 🤷🏼‍♀️

In job interviews, do you have to tell them you are being made redundant? Or can i still say i have 3 months notice period and i am working part time hours etc?

Is it liying? Can they find out? What do they ask when talking to references?

Relationship issues

Anyone else start feeling different toward your man. Just don’t even want sex or kisses or anything anymore? Starting to see them as a friend at this point. So weird.

New bestie??

Okayyy trying this I’m looking for a genuine friendship where we actually talk regularly not just the occasional “how are the kids? how are you?” every three weeks lol. I want the random texts, life updates, venting, sending each other things that made us laugh, talking about books/shows/movies, and eventually FaceTiming once we’re comfortable! I’m a mom of one little boy and would LOVE another mom who’s also looking for that close, everyday kind of bond. No pressure to respond 24/7 because obviously ✨life✨ 😂 but I’d really love someone who actually wants to get to know each other and build a real friendship. If that sounds like you, PLEASE come say hi because apparently we are both hiding from each other 😂💗

Giving someone attention

I kinda just want to make someone feel special, loved, and good about themselves. 🥺🩷 I used to have this with one girl, but she ended up telling me she didn’t really like when I was that affectionate after a whole year pretty much and meeting her in person.

I’m naturally super cute, clingy, and love giving attention. 🥰 I do have a partner of 5 years, and he knows I call everyone babe and that I can get really close and affectionate with people. 💕

So if you’re looking for someone who will hype you up, give you lots of attention, and make you feel special, comment if you’re interested! 🥺🎀🩷
