No village

How do mums do it without a village? I'm currently 25weeks pregnant with a 25month old and live in an area where I have zero friends or family around me. Yes my husband helps but he's got 2 jobs so super busy and I'm too tired to be looking after a toddler all day everyday whilst being pregnant. I ask for help from my mum but she doesn't want to sacrifice her holidays for me or spend time/money to come up to me. I'm just sick of it. I feel so alone. I feel so hurt. I wish someone would just come help me.

I also just got shouted at by my sil cuz her marriage is shit and thinks it's my fault and I'm whispering things into my brother's ears. I don't even talk to my brother. Let alone care about her marriage. Not even an apology from her when my brother rectified the situation.

I've also just spent £440 on babysitting because I genuinely can't do this anymore and just need a break and I feel like shit because that's so much money and I don't work right now because I'm pregnant and I just feel so shit spending that much when we're tight on money right now

£440 on a babysitter? How many times did she baby sit for you?

Aww sweetie. I don’t have any family near by but I’ve built a network though relentless putting myself out there (which I hate as it’s so draining). Loads of misses but a few hits so I’ve built a village.

You can also engage with home start who can help, my mum used to go to a single mum every week to help her with homestart, and it’s free! X

Do you people have sex?

It’s been one year… I don’t even know how it goes anymore. My husband’s not trying. We don’t have time alone ever.

Are we doomed?

Do you take pride in your nationality? Being of the country you were born and raised in

HR advice.

Hi, is there anyone in here who works in HR and would be able to help me with some advice if I messaged them??

Struggling to find friends on here.

Struggling to find friends on here 😂 I just want some mom friends where the effort goes both ways. We’re all busy, but I want friendships where we actually make time for each other and genuinely want to hang out. 🫶🏼

Give me the tomboy moms who wanna do random stuff, watch cars go stupid fast at the racetrack 🏁😂, and just vibe. I just want a few people I really click with. Where are my gearhead mamas?❤️
