How do moms make friends at 40?

I’m 40, have a 5-year-old, and recently moved back after living overseas. I’m finding it surprisingly hard to build a social life!

I’ve tried connecting with moms from my daughter’s school, but I’m really looking for friendships beyond just talking about our kids. I miss having a group of friends to chat about life, laugh, go out, and just enjoy adult conversations.

I also work full-time, so those 3 PM weekday playdates aren’t an option for me.

I’d love to hear how other working moms have made genuine friendships. Where do you meet people? How do you find your circle at this stage of life?

EDD Paid Family Leave

I signed up for the full 8 weeks of baby bonding. However, I didn’t receive a payment after 4 weeks and there are no pending forms. Has this happened to anyone? Was it easy to resolve?

Pregnancy workouts ?

So I’m 31 weeks today and I genuinely have not done a single workout since. You know, all the pelvic floor workouts they talk about. I’ve been so tired and lazy but I think it’s time to get serious. What are some workouts you are doing and please add YouTube links if you use YouTube. Thanks

Anyone had issues with partner but fixed it?

Anyone had a terrible time and broke up with partner and got back together and now better than ever?

First time mum to be and just feel hopeless for the future with my partner and future children i had dreamed of...

Has anyone managed to get back on track and happy again?
