I would love to go out more, meet other mums and take my kids on play dates but I’m a nervous driver and it stops me from making plans out of my area! Anyone that can relate? Or anyone that overcame the driving nerves and is loving life now 😅 Especially after having my second baby I’m always at home it’s starting…

Has anyone here gone from one to two children? I’m due feb 2025 and I’m so scared about being able to cope. Has anyone got any advice please

Is anyone here going from one to two children? I will be and I’m so scared about being able to cope. Has anyone got any advice

Since discovering we are pregnant I have just felt so alone, like I am nothing, just inadequate. Has anyone else felt this?

Not sure where to start. But does anyone else feel really lonely being a mum? Like I become a stay at home mum not by choice I was made redundant on maternity leave. My husband works away allot. I have nothing to do with his family as his mum treated me like garbage. My parents have shocked me with how little intere...

What’s the realist truth you have received in your life. ( it could be about anything)

Does anyone just have days where they feel like the worst mum in the world? Finances are really struggling at the moment and every time we try and get help just seems to punch us back in the face yet we watch other peoples that’s better off that us get more help than what we do. All I wanna do is provide the best c...

Can anyone else relate?

I don’t have many friends and don’t want to stress my husband out more than he is. Anyone willing to chat and just let me vent about life and our struggles

I'm unsure who to talk too and just need to let it out in a safe space. I'm sleep deprived mum of two, I'm struggling with my mental health and also trying to do the best for my kids and family. I was asking for help/ researching about car seat for my little one and I made a slip up, because I'm tried and have s...

Is anyone else suffering with low mood and lack of motivation for things you would normally enjoy?

My LO is nearly 9 months old and the last few weeks have just took a huge toll on me. I’ve struggled with bonding and feeling like a parent throughout. He adores his grandparents, I live with my mother still & I just feel like they would do a much better job than me. I love my LO but just feel like they would be bet...

Just a small rant. I feel like I’ve my identity. All I do is work and be a mother. I love my baby so much and I enjoy the new life she has given to me but I don’t enjoy what motherhood has taken from me. I miss being fun and doing things. Now I’m just so exhausted even though she’s an easy baby that sleeps through t...

Hey guys so I’m 24 and I’m really struggling with my partner (also 24) being at work 9-5 all week, while I’m home with our 3 month old baby girl! It’s not the looking after her that affects me, just the fact I’m alone and always counting down until he’s home. Also just so I do have an option to have some ‘alone’ t...

I feel like I lost ALL my friends when I got pregnant.

Anyone else get the feel that there partner just wants them to be a mum nothing more? I enjoy watching football ( what a game tonight nearly had a heart attack) I want to go to the pub with my sister next Saturday to watch the next game I asked my partner to come and he said no, he also doesn't want me going... I d...

I want strangers to stop talking to me so badly. It's tons of busy body old people. Asking weird gender questions. Is your baby a boy or girl? I mean they're wearing pink. "I don't understand why your baby doesn't like me. Kids love me." They try to talk to my baby when she's crying. No one minds their own business....

Hi I’ve probably sobbed all morning feeling entirely alone and overwhelmed with no one to talk to; and even if I did none of my friends have children so they can’t relate. I’m a mother of 3; a princess who is 9; my little boy who is 3 and autistic and my tiny baby who is infact not a baby.. he’s 2😂 i think I’d be…

Last year we had a big party so people were aware of his 1st birthday and wished him happy birthday but this year not 1 of my friends remembered 💔💔 I must say 90% of my friends do not have children & are single so I wonder if that’s why. His birthday was on Thursday so I’ve gave it a few days in case they forgot…

These past couple of days has been hitting me hard. Im so overwhelmed with being a mother with little to no help. Everything is all on me and I swear to god I love my son more than the air I breathe and will do anything for him. But I have grown to hate being a mother and all the responsibilities that comes with it....
