You can’t even ask a genuine question seeking advice or maybe just to realize something new because someone just has to be negative. We’re supposed to be supportive of each other but instead there certain women being competitive and taking their pain out on others and I’m honestly sick of seeing it and dealing with it. Some people don’t have a village some people can’t leave there house for medical or other personal reasons. We don’t need some know it all bitch to tell anyone that they’re blaming their problems on others when you don’t even know them. I just hope you have to run into someone exactly like you and they give you the compassion and grace you shower others( which is none) but the acting authoritative and talking down to people has got to stop and you know exactly who you are.

I know it does bring the vibe down and you would think that I app like this would be all positive but the truth is it is the Internet and there will be all types of people. I hate that the negativity is getting to you. Just try to block it out. I see plenty of positive and loving people in here and try to lean into them if you can.

This is why I created my group on FB called The Invisible Village. A space for large and/or medically needy families, people who understand how complicated things can get. I myself have 5 kids and 3 have been diagnosed with something. Polycystic kidney disease, sever ADHD, and genetic issues causing global delay and disability. We deal with it all. The group is new (made within the week) but feel free to look us up and join. I am there as the creator. I'd be more than happy to be there for you.

It’s hard! I like to believe that not everyone is the same but almost every day I get proved wrong. Even on my IG I’m open about how I feel as far as feeling postpartum depression and how it comes and goes, not even family cares. Instead it’s like they turn a blind eye. Just cause I’m a first time mom I feel like some are lowkey like get over it girl, now you know how I felt. But you never know I guess until you become a mom yourself. Now that I’m in that boat, it just made me promise myself to not let what others do to me cause me to become bitter or determine how I treat others.
When did yours start to stop?
I’m 7 months pp and it started around 4 months pp but it’s making me feel so sh*t with the amount I’ve lost.
I take vitamins and eat well and I just want it to stop 🥲

Before anyone judges, let me put it straight that I do absolutely love being a Mum but recently i’ve found i’ve been losing myself and becoming more and more agitated with little things, I never get a break from being a Mum and sometimes find myself missing the person I was before having a child, I feel awful that i’m feeling like this as I don’t want my Daughter picking up on my moods, I try so hard to make her happy and give her the best but sometimes it feels like i’m not doing enough, i’m juggling everything all at once (trying to get back into work after 3 years and having no luck) (doing course work that has tight deadlines) (trying to make sure I get her out and playing) (making sure she’s eating nutritional meals everyday) (trying to be the perfect person for everyone) it’s becoming a draining and depressing feeling.

My 8 week old cries for every car journey. Last week we went away on a 3 hour journey and thought we had turned a corner because she fell asleep calmly and we managed the journey with only two stops. On the way back was a different story, we had to stop 3 times in the first half hour and she cried solidly for the final 40 minutes because there wasn’t a services we could stop at. Since then she has cried for every car journey, almost the entire journey. It’s stressful when I can’t pick her up or physically comfort her and it’s putting me off going anywhere in the car. Anyone had this and found a solution?

I don’t know about other babies but feel like mine has mini tantrums of throwing their body back or giving them something and then they’ll throw it. I thought all this was to begin at ‘terrible twos/three’s’. Even when I say ‘no’ to doing something they just continue and ignore me.
Do other mums have these bad days?

My little boy is just turning 6 months and I can not get him to sleep for longer than 2/3 hours at a time overnight. We’ve tried late bed time, early bed time- he falls asleep about 7 whether we like it or not and thinks it’s bed time. I’ve just tried moving him into his own room to see if we are the problems and no improvements. He’s up around 5-10 times every night, I end up breastfeeding to comfort him which often gets him back to sleep but then he almost never transfers into his own cot! Any ideas? I know maybe I’m setting myself up to fail by cosleeping in the middle of the night but when it’s 3am I’ll do it for a minutes rest? Any tips or ideas appreciated thanks all xx
