Lonely

So I'm posting this incognito because honestly I feel like a right loser.
I used to have friends I always had someone to talk to, to go out with, to have a text to reply to. I literally would do anything I could to help anyone. Then I moved to be with my husband and lost afew of them but made some more at work. Then we moved and had our children and one by one lost everyone I tried to meet up with people but when people forget about you, forget they made plans with you and don't turn up, are too tired to meet up, say they will see you and never arrange it, it all gets a bit too much and I stopped trying with them because at the end of the day it was me upset not them.
Now I don't work so can't make friends that way, I stay at home with my children, I have them, my husband and my mum to talk to.
School has been open 3 days now and everyday I see people talking, me I stand there by myself, I say hello how are you they answer but walk past. Yesterday I stood waiting and may as well have been invisible people just joined the queue in front of me.
I've met people on here one I thought was going to be a great friend but she turned nasty others just haven't progressed to anything. Honestly I don't know what's wrong with me I don't know why I'm the one stood alone. What's wrong with me. I think I just needed to put that all into words and I also hope it helps someone. If you see someone by themselves at the school gates smile, say hello, include them in your conversation because we don't know what others are going through or how they are feeling.

I feel miserable

I know people only show the good on social media but I’m so fed up of the mum’s who film DITL’s on mat leave etc where they’re often going out for coffee, lunches, shopping, beauty appointments etc. where are they getting the money from to do this? My 1st mat leave felt miserable as some months I was only being paid Ā£400 which didn’t cover the bills and didn’t leave much to enjoy. I really struggled initially until I found a way to make the best of it. My baby was born 2 months early so I ended up in a really complicated situation with my leave. I’ve gone back to work part time and earning absolutely nothing. Now due our second next year and already dreading mat leave as I know it’ll be so different to my 1st and on minimum pay with another child to fund. My husband has an average job on a reasonable salary like most of us do. I’ve had to stop getting my nails done each month, I never buy myself anything like new clothes etc, I’ve completely lost myself and I hate it. I’m looking into letting go of my car to release some extra money and alleviate pressure. Am I doing something wrong that all these TT mums aren’t?!

How does your male partner wash his face?

Do you think men should wash their faces with a cleanser too?
