I’ve been struggling so much with motherhood and basically….everything. I feel so guilty for saying that. I just want to find joy in motherhood again but all I feel is intense exhaustion. I can’t keep up with anything. I have no energy for anything. I don’t have much of a “village” and my husband works so much that I’m doing it all myself 90% of the time. I guess this is just more of a rant but I just don’t know how to get that spark back.

Twin same. I have no energy to do anything my house is slowly becoming disgusting and it’s hard to do this all and caring for another human being when a year ago i only worried about myself.I relate in a million ways and if you ever wanna talk to someone about it just know that i get it. and im putting myself on blast because there is no incognito mode in replying but I am here for you, I see you and i feel the same 1000099%

It’s very easy to lose yourself in motherhood. I don’t have a village myself because I believe in boundaries and not everyone is okay with that and that’s ok. I also don’t like bothering anyone and I like things a certain way. What has helped me find joy is building a community of like minded individuals who believes and think the same way I do. Even if it’s just one or two person. I’m a FT SAHM and it comes with waves some days are amazing some days it’s exhausting. But I remind myself it’s only a season in my life soon it’ll get easier in some ways and harder in others. Just when I feel like I have figured it out my baby is doing something new. So take it one day at a time. They are this small for just a small portion of our lives. Just like they are new to this world so are we. Looking at things in a positive light makes things just a little bit easier.

I’m sorry you’re going through this I feel alot of us mothers can relate, I’m also looking to get my spark back as well I think it will just take time ♥️
Has anyone decided when you will start maternity leave? I’m leaning towards starting as early as possible which would be at 29 weeks, would love to have time to fully prepare for baby and also have time to relax and take time for myself before not having much free time for a very long time

We haven’t had sex since I’ve become pregnant. So about a year and a half now.

My husband and I had sex on Monday … It’s a very rare occurrence these days (as most Moms can understand). We both showered together and I took a little longer. When I got to bed, he was on his phone … looking at fantasy football. Should I be upset about this? Because I felt a little hurt.

hii 🥹💕 I’m looking for a long-distance friend I can genuinely connect with! Someone to talk to throughout the day, send random updates to, vent to, and share the little things in life with. I’m a SAHM to my almost 8-month-old son, and I love gaming 🎮 I’d love to meet someone I can get close to, even if we live far away.🫶🏻🕺

It's funny, I reply but when I send out a message you don't respond. It's annoying when it shows that you're online. In my opinion, that deliberately shows that you are not interested in connecting and I'm just going to block you why waste our time
