Does anyone else ever feel completely overstimulated as a mum? 😩🤎🤎🤎

Its not that I don’t want to be around my kids… sometimes there’s just SO much going on at once. Constant questions, noise, being touched, things needing to be done, everyone needing you — and suddenly your brain is just like, I need a minute! 😂

I love being a mum, but sometimes I just crave a quiet cup of coffee, a bit of peace and five minutes where nobody needs me. ☕️😂

I feel that and like you said don’t get me wrong I love my kids but getting touched out is real

The questions back to back to back with no recovery time between them is what gets me every single time. 😂 You love them with everything and also desperately need them to stop talking for just a moment.

Yes that’s why I take my breaks 2-3* a week. Twice is to go to my dance classes. I can literally let my hair down and think of nothing and just be spun around on the dance floor- it’s so freeing, it’s my therapy, my seratonin my dopamine. And once to go see a friend, have brunch or dinner or go see a chick flick- vent laugh eat drink talk cry have actual adult convo get a lil dressed up and feel human. Sometimes I wanna go beach and suntan for 4hrs sometimes I wanna go and dance it out. There’s NOTHING wrong with wanting and taking breaks. I come back more refreshed, rejuvenated and a better mum for my kids. Take what you need mama! No one will offer so I manage my own breaks I say where I’m going with who what time I’ll be back etc. and I go.

Have yall ever kissed and or had sex with your husband and not felt anything for them.

Context I guess is we’ve been having problems since we got together and I guess I’m just not physically into him anymore.

So… How Do Adults Make Friends?

First post in here and I figured I’d finally say hi instead of just scrolling 😂

I’m 36, a mom to a 19, 9 and a 2.5-year-old, all girls!! I work full time, so life is basically always busy.

I’ve also realized I’m 100% a Type C mom 😂 I have good intentions. I make lists. I forget about the lists. Somehow things still get done.

Honestly, I’m just looking for some mom friends. Like REAL friends. Someone to text random things to, grab coffee with, complain about life with, and actually make plans with.

If you’re in the same boat, I’d love to meet you. Because apparently making friends as an adult is weirdly hard. 😂

Please yall I desperately need some sense spoken into me.

My baby is 5 month 2 weeks and since before he was born I’ve been living in a single mom maternity home. I came to the home 20 weeks pregnant and since 25 weeks me and baby dad been tryna see if we can fix what was messed up. Anyways that would be going good, then go bad , then go good , then go bad. At month 3 of baby being born we stopped talking . Everything, so I just been handling and caring for baby on my own while he barely checks up on baby . Fast forward we spoke again and it seem like it was aight , then he met up with me and told me he currently living with his situationship at the moment..,🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴, he said he told me because he didn’t want our foundation to be set up on a lie and he had to tell me this way before it blew up . And now basically he kinda piggy backed off her , and how he don’t really like her but when he was having a tough time “without “ me she kinda filled that void , but supposedly it nothing to what we “have” , and how he really wants to be with me and he knows he “fd” up. He knows since he told me there now may never be a chance between us. He asked me how I feel , and I told him idk , to be honest , how tf is that something to come back from…. Mind you I have his child and he won’t even pick up his phone around her. He has TWO. phones now . One she gave him, and his regular, but he never keep his regular. He said , if I’m willing to get a place with him, he’ll drop the situation right away, but to be honest wtf does that make me ? (Please answer) i need the BRUTAL truth . At first yesterday i said f the whole situation, but now today i feel myself upset about it cause how could you. I’m taking care of our child every night in and day while you just living life having a ball ? Quite honestly if my child was hurt rn, he wouldn’t even know until he checks his phone . Am I wrong or bitter for just cutting him out the picture completely? How do I handle this. ? Idk what to feel and have no one to talk to about this. Please

Just a late night thought because apparently this is what I think about at 2am 😂

I think one of the hardest parts about trying to make mom friends on here is that you just don’t know who you’re actually going to vibe with from a profile 😅

I’m super down to earth, go with the flow, homebody/cozy type of person. I don’t need to be doing something all the time. I’m perfectly happy sitting in the house with coffee, talking about random stuff, laughing, letting the kids play, whatever lol. So I feel like I’d struggle trying to build a friendship with someone who is super serious all the time or has a completely different vibe than me.

And then I think being in a similar stage of life matters too. I’m 32, married, and have 4 kids, one with special needs, might I add. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be friends with someone younger or with one baby, but realistically we might just be in two completely different places in life. They might still want to go out and party and I’m over here genuinely excited about my pumpkin spice creamer in the morning 😂

I think I want a friend who just…gets it. Someone I don’t have to explain my whole life to because they understand the season I’m in. And that’s so hard to tell from a profile.

And then sometimes the conversation just…dies 😅 Not even because anything happened, but it starts feeling like one person is carrying it or you realize you just don’t naturally click. I think that’s what makes trying to make friends on apps so awkward.

Does anyone else feel like finding people you actually click with is the hardest part?

Anybody wanna be friends?

Does anybody really want friends?? I’ve been in here forever and I’m just looking for some friends! I’ve moved here a year ago and it’s hard to find and do things in Winston. But it would be nice to have my own best friend!
