How are we making friends in our 30s?!

Help!! I feel like such a loser. I have like no friends and just hang out at home with my kids and husband all the time. He is my best friend. But I also want girl friends to hang out with. He goes and hangs with his guy friends and I just stay home. He asked why I never go anywhere and I told him I have no friends and no idea how to even make friends. So help! How do you make friends these days?!

I tried Bumble BFF, joined a local women’s network, a book club and reached out to past friendships. So far that hasn’t led to deep friendships but the odd coffee date and events i go to and lots of friendly acquaintances. Maybe there are classes or groups you can join? :)

Literally in the same boat! It’s so hard for me to make friends,especially since I’m a stay at home mom and don’t leave the house most days😂

Rant about leaving work !!

So, I had two previous children before meeting my partner and didnt want more children. I raised them basically on my own whilst working. I met my now fiance who is amazing and we decided we wanted a 3rd. I however said if I was to have another baby now I want to enjoy it and be able to focus on being a mum and not juggling too many things like work aswell as I had a busy job. My partner is more then happy to support us as a family and is amazing. Im not 17 weeks and left my job just before the summer holidays as we were moving anyway and it just felt like the right time as I worked term time.
The amount of people the are gobsmacked when I tell them im not working now im focusing on my baby and my older kids and being the home maker.
Like the look of confusion!
What's wrong with mums being mums and not carrying a million things at once?
Especially since my fiance is happy to look after us all financially.
Im a modern woman ive juggled ive done it all independently but whats actually wrong with traditional roles too these days.

It's making me feel subconsciously guilty. 🤔

Partner has pretty much lost interest in sex since I got pregnant

It's been 3 and a half months.. he says he still fancies me and smacks my butt and grabs my boobs but says there is just nothing going on down there.. he's said it's his antidepressants and it happens sometimes but we used to have sex constantly.. I'm just worried he's gone off me cause of the baby... Has this happened to anyone else?

Bank account

I’m wanting to open a savings account for my little girl and was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for what’s best? I’ve done some research and have an idea of what I might go for but there may be people on here more wise with these things, who may have good tips so just want to double check before I commit to anything 😅 TIA x
