Lonely

Does anyone else’s partner doesn’t spend any time with them? I constantly feel so alone besides my baby. Literally have a house that is so empty because he’s never here emotionally mentally and barely physically.

Help please (school related)

I'm gonna start off by saying I'm not one to care much about news or current events... So right now I have an assignment to define the word rebellious in my own words, which I'm going to define in a good light but I need to think of a person from the past 20 years that's rebellious (still alive) and answer how and w...

So tired of being alone

I got fired from my job at the end of April when I was almost four months pregnant. I haven’t been able to find a new job (no one wants to hire a pregnant woman) so I’m at home by myself a lot. My husband works full time so obviously he has to leave during the day. I don’t have a lot of friends since moving states a...

Feeling sad -

Hey Just wanting to vent really. Just feeling so down with life atm. I’m sure many can relate. In particular my lack of village. I thought I’d have one. I have 3 sisters and my mum and they’re just not really that interested. I send pics of my baby and they’ll occasional comment and like but they’re not really the...

I feel like I’m dissociating.

I’ve been staying up late to work on my online classes, busy throughout the day with the kids, cooking, and working on sewing projects. I feel like I never get a moment to myself, but I LOVE sewing and school is so I can have a MUCH better job in the future. I checked my Apple Watch yesterday morning and it counted ...

Becoming a single mom.

It’s a real scary thought. Right now I’m very dependent on my husband, and I think that is why I am afraid to step away. I’m just overall fucking nervous too. 1. I honestly wish we could work things out. But 2. I just can’t keep crying everyday hoping something changes. But I’m scared to leave.. and the guilt. The...

Independent play

Does anyone feel bad when their babies are playing alone and you’re just on your phone? Like I’ll get caught up with something on my phone and then remind myself to play with my baby but then I’ll see her content and having a good time so I remember the saying “don’t make a happy baby happier”. I also know Independe...

Meltdown

I think I'm on the brink of a meltdown. I have a stupid habit of bottling problems up and it's smacking me in the arse for it. My own fault. Does anyone have any advice on how to get it out if your really bad at talking? I also cry when I'm angry 😂

Lonely and isolated

It feels to me like there are so many Mums doing it alone, feeling lonely and isolated - wanting to make friends but finding it impossible. No support network nearby. Feeling isolated. Just wondering, who feels like this?
