Why nobody’s talking here?

I live in Maryland and I’ve tried to make new friends and I’ve sent quite a few messages to other moms here but nobody seems to answer and yet everyone on their profiles say they want to make new friends

What is going on here ? Am I missing something ?

Life Insurance!

How do people go about getting life insurance and knowing which is the best to go for?

I'm currently paying £50 a month for a benefit style insurance due to noone being willing to insure me due to a past mental health illness. It's been over 3 years now since my last episode, so should be able to be insured, as £50 a month is just too much to keep on top of. I'm just stressed that if I have to go through my whole life of health with every single company I speak to again it will just break me like it did last time. Didn't know if there was a way to narrow down the search.

Tonie box

Am thinking about getting a tonie box for the kids for Christmas are they worth it and which one the original or the new one

Loneliness.

Hi all! This is my first time ever posting so let me introduce myself! My name is Timberly & I became a mama in July 2025! Shortly after having my son, I was diagnosed with pp preeclampsia which has left me in a DEEP health anxiety spiral for many many months. I’m scared of doctors, getting my bp taken, getting sick & this has also left me with feeling very alone most days! I’m not sure why I’m posting this I guess just looking for someone who can relate? I don’t want to waste my breath anymore on the anxiety & worrying when I could be spending more time with my son!! I have many months of feeling great & no worries & then boom… it’s back lol anyways! I have a sweet baby boy who is 15 months old & the funniest little boy I know so something very amazing came out of all of this. I had a friend come hangout with me once a week but it’s been busy for everyone & it being the holidays it makes it a little more difficult🫠

Sex on the first day of meeting your long distance partner or wait a little bit?

My long distance partner is planning a visit and I have made my boundary known no sex. I am a mum of 2 and divorced, he is also divorced but no kids. Our chemistry is great and we are both childhood sweethearts. He has made his intentions known that he wants to marry me however my stance is that no sex before he puts a ring on it. He is saying he wants all of me with no boundaries in the relationship and I am maintaining my stance…. He has gone quiet since what should I do. Shall I just wrap it up and call it a day or shall I just maintain the silence as well or just exit the 3 month relationship?

I love this man but I just don’t wanna have sex before we are married.

venting

i feel so lonely and my closest friends have started being weird with me
i have so many friends who say i can talk to them but it just never seems like anyone actually cares
i don’t know who to talk to and just feel like im doing everything alone, im a single mum pregnant with second child
anyone else just feel completely alone? 😔

Anyone else sad that they can't be a SAHM?

First time mom due 3/27.

I am so sad and disappointed that I can't be a stay at home mom. That is something I want so bad, at least the first 2-4 years. Unfortunately, my income is needed to pay our bills.

I hate how the U.S. treats and views maternity leave. I don't think I would feel this strongly if I had at least a year off. I'm extremely lucky to get 12 weeks paid as is. :/

Second time working mamas, how did you deal with this?
