Sometimes I love this age, they’re developing their little personalities, playing more, starting to talk, walk, can understand some things I say now but my god I feel drained a lot of the time. It’s the constant whining for my attention, the tantrums, the still waking a few times a night, meal times are now more difficult and one day will be eaten the next thrown across the room 😫. I don’t think it helps I’m on my own and live alone. Feel guilty as I’ve raised my voice a couple of times this week at my girl I’m just finding her so demanding at the moment 😫 anyone feel the same?

I've found the past week really tough! I feel like I went through a phase recently where things started to feel a little easier....then suddenly this week things have gotten tricky again! 😱 The tantrums, clingyness, not eating food suddenly....so just know you're not alone! X

No, but only because I have a 4yo and I know the worst is yet to come 🤣

Like why does this tiny thing that cannot talk giving me attitude??????
How r we all coping in this economy, when I first had my little girl we worked out that me working 3 days a week and husband full time would be enough for us to cover everything and have a little left over for any unexpected bills and to actually have the odd day out as a family.
Fast forward a year and a half and our bills have consistently gone up to a point we have nothing left so any unexpected bills have to go on the credit card 😭
I can’t work any extra days as we have no family to rely on and if I put her in nursery full time I wouldn’t be earning any extra with the fees 😭
she goes 2 full days which we get funded hours, This economy is killing us we both earn reasonable money and have cancelled every single thing that’s not a necessity 😭😭 we have a mortgage so unfortunately not entitled to any benefit help either 😭😭😭😭

Does anyone wear condoms with their husband? I personally don’t and just curious if there are married couples out there who do.

I’m so ready to start working again, partly because I’m struggling rn but I don’t think I could be a SAHM because I like to be able to not only get a break but also keep busy other than just taking care of baby GOD knows I love her so much, so I guess that’s a pro & con that I’m single mom I guess because currently I’ve been SAHM & surviving by the grace of god 😭 BUT IM SO READY TO GET OUT THIS HOUSE & PPD DONT make it any better.

Hi I am Makayla and I have two boys just had my second one 2 months ago and I am looking for any mom friends and people I can connect with right now. I am dealing with postpartum so bad I just need someone to connect with and hopefully have a best friend again. I live in New York state and would love to have a best friend again as most seem to come and go.
