Asking for help…

I hate making a post like this, but I’m swallowing my pride and hoping you guys can help me. 🩵

My youngest turned ONE on Saturday. 🥹 And while I know, truly, that presents aren’t what birthdays are about, it still broke my heart that the only people who got him anything were me, his dad, and his siblings.

His own family didn’t get him a single thing for his first birthday.

I know times are hard right now. I know everyone has their own families, bills, struggles, and priorities, and I would never expect anyone to buy my child a gift. But as his mom, it hurts knowing that a milestone this big came and went without the people who are supposed to love him showing up for him.

So I’m going to do something that feels incredibly uncomfortable for me and share his Amazon wishlist here. If you’re in a position to do so and want to send this sweet boy a little something, it would mean more to us than you probably realize. 🩵

It doesn’t have to be anything big or expensive. A little book, a toy, something silly, or even just a card would make him feel loved.

I know he doesn’t understand who bought what right now. But someday, when he’s older, I want him to be able to look back at his first birthday and know that even when some of the people closest to him didn’t show up, there were still people in this world who chose to show him love.

Thank you to anyone who even takes the time to read this. And absolutely no pressure or guilt, just love. 🩵

Here’s his wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/213RFMYRXZ69W?ref_=wl_share

Are people finding it hard to leave the house?

My LO is 3 weeks old. We've managed to get out of the house a handful of times to go shopping or for a quick walk, but mostly we're just at home. I'm torn between feeling anxious about taking her out and having quite intense cabin fever. Anyone else in the same boat?

Remote work

Any ideas of remote work during evenings or any ways of earning some extra money? My partner is the only bread winner and the self employment is not great as he just hurt his foot and can’t drive and that will make him loose money. I feel bad every time when I ask him for the smallest amount of money and even if we are not proper struggling we have just enough to get by. We are totally fine with baby items but we are trying to save money even on food ,and stuff for us that are not absolutely necessarily are not really an option anymore. Any tips on how to earn a couple of pounds on the side?

Struggling

I work nights and am home all day. Both kids are in school all day. I feel so alone. I have zero friends or family and am just by myself. My
Husband has a career that has taken off. He travels often and also has his own hobbies that he’s often busy with. My self esteem has completely gone out the window. I genuinely feel like a loser. My husband is a great guy who makes time for me but he has a whole life outside of me
