Mom friends wanted

I’m looking for mom friends. Not just the kind you occasionally say “hey” to or like each other’s posts, but the kind of friendships where you can genuinely be there for one another.

Motherhood can be so beautiful, but it can also be incredibly lonely. Especially at night, when the baby is finally asleep, my husband is at work, the house is quiet, and I realize just how much I miss having people around me. Sometimes I just want someone to talk to. Someone to laugh with. Someone who understands without me having to explain every little thing.

We don’t really have a village. It’s just us, and while I’m incredibly grateful for my little family, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel lonely sometimes.

I’m not looking for perfect friendships. I’m looking for real ones. ❤️

Someone I can text at 10 PM and say, “Are you awake?”
Someone who understands the exhaustion, the messy house, the mom guilt, the overwhelming days and the beautiful ones too.
Someone to grab coffee with, take our babies for a walk, have playdates, vent without judgment, celebrate each other, and remind each other that we’re doing okay.

I want friendships built on kindness, honesty, support, and no judgment. I want us to be able to show up as our imperfect selves and still feel accepted.

If you’re a mom who has ever felt lonely, wished you had more friends, or felt like you were trying to build a village from scratch too… maybe we’re looking for each other. 🥹💕

My inbox is open. No awkwardness, no judgment. Just two moms trying to find a little more connection in this crazy season of life. 🤍

Hey DJ! I love your perspective and everything you said was so eloquent. We're in the same boat. Smells to high heaven you're not closer I'd love to hopefully make a friendship where we could hang out. No pressure though! I'd love to at least be someone in your corner and vice versa. 🙌💛

Mama friends in need

Hi ladies!! I'm Cassy, a 25 year old momma of one girl (she's quickly becoming a mini me) I'd love to make new mom friends! I'm in the Richmond, VA areas and I don't have any mom friends nearby. I'm happy to talk, text, or potentially meet up to vent & connect. 🩷🩷

Long term friends

My daughter is 8 and she just has such a hard time maintaining friendships. She isn’t into boys yet and she doesn’t like to be sassy or mean at all and unfortunately she hasn’t been able to find many friends her age that don’t just bully her ☹️ I’ve tried meet ups I’ve invited people from co ops I’ve taken her to church classes and other gatherings and I’m such at a loss. Any advice?

Anyone else self employed?

I’ve applied for maternity allowance and got my letter through today saying I would get the least amount. However I also got a letter asking me to pay towards the national class 2.
I have now done this but just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and if they then got the full amount after paying the cost they asked for. Thank you!

Sex help

My husband and I have pretty standard sex and I don’t know how to express that I want to do more/try different things. I’ve said things like he needs to make more effort, more foreplay but it’s basically the same thing each time. He even stops me from going down on him most of the time saying I’m his wife??? He plays with me down below which feels good but it gets to a point where I just can’t take it anymore because it’s so sensitive and I have to ask him to stop, and then he’ll go inside me but I feel like if I could carry on taking that pleasure maybe I’d have an orgasm? I don’t really understand and have only had the one partner so any help would be appreciated

I wanna disappear

I have been with my husband for 15 years and currently have two kids. I have always been on the back burner , I use to be fun, i was fashionable and considered "pretty" and I swear to you im everything but . all that now, I hate myself and I stopped looking at myself for 5 years . I would avoid all mirrors and now that I finally got back into the groove... i dont like what I see. I wanna go "lick my wounds" in private. And im trying very hard to not do it.
