Looking for my soul sisters🤍

Hi Moms! 💕
I’m looking for the kind of friendship where we actually become part of each other’s lives. Someone to do life with, make plans, go out, try new things, have random hangouts, talk about everything, celebrate each other, support each other, and be there through the ordinary little moments too. I’m definitely a high maintenance friend in the sense that I value consistency 😂. I like friendships where we keep up with each other, make an effort, communicate regularly, and actually spend time together. Not the “we should catch up sometime” and then disappear for three months kind of friendship. 😭

I’m easygoing and love a good laugh, but I really value intentionality, reciprocity and genuine connection. If you’re also looking for a friendship where we can actually do life together, whether you’re in Lagos or somewhere else in the world, let’s connect.🤍

Would you like to help make a change to Mat Leave pay!

Petition: Make statutory maternity pay 90% of wage for first 12 weeks & minimum wage after

We believe mothers should never be forced back to work because maternity leave is unaffordable. UK SMP is among Europe’s least generous, falling to around 41% of minimum wage after 6 weeks. The Government should fix this and give mothers 12 weeks of Statutory Maternity Pay at 90% of their salary.

Can we talk about how hard it actually is to make mum friends?

You can have a lovely conversation with another mum, exchange numbers and genuinely think, “I’d love to be friends with her”… then somehow life gets busy and you never actually see each other again

Sometimes I think we all want mum friends, but we’re all tired, busy and waiting for someone else to make the first move.

So I’m curious… what do you find hardest about making mum friends?
Is it approaching someone? Keeping the friendship going? Finding mums with similar interests/ages of kids? Or just finding the time to actually meet? 👀

Let’s have a real mum-to-mum chat 💕 And if you’re also looking for genuine friendships, don’t be shy — say hi, you never know who might be looking for a mum friend too 🫶🏽

Couples counselling

Has anyone tried couples counselling and found it helpful? Going through a difficult stage in marriage for a while now and we’re just not able to resolve conflict anymore. I have suggested couples therapy but he’s doesn’t think we need it yet.

Asking parents for money

How many people have asked their parents to borrow a bit of money to help in the last few months of maternity?
I’m down to £0 pay for the last 3 months and will be picking up an extra job next month but my friends suggested asking my parents to borrow a bit to help me and my parents have made me feel like this is unacceptable and I shouldn’t have asked them.

Any single parents out there?

Let’s connect! How are we all coping? Got a 6 month old baby, it’s a beautiful journey but boy can’t it be exhausting!
