I feel like I'm screwing up as a mom and a bonus mom. I'm 5 and a half years into being a mom and 2 years into being a stepmom. I love my babies so much but I feel like I can't do anything correctly. I feel like I'm constantly to hard on them. They're only 5/6 but they're hard! And I'm drowning.

I’m a SAHM to my almost 1 yo & I’m feeling extremely blessed to be able to stay home and take care of her but I have no family or friends where I live and it gets so lonely! My man tries to entertain me when he’s available but it’s not the same.. I’m really close with my family but they all live so far. He doesn’t w...

My baby boy is almost 8 months old and whilst he is such a delight and the light of my life, he’s constantly wanting to be on the move now and I’m finding it harder than I was before, please tell me I’m not alone in this? Some days I feel drained!

Found out this week I am pregnant with my second. My first is also a feb baby (28 months) and it looks like the due date for this pregnancy will be a couple of days after his birthday! 😐 It doesn’t feel real yet and I don’t have any symptoms apart from feeling ravenously hungry which is a new one as with my first…

Does anyone suffer with a lack of direction in their career? I’m absolutely terrified of messing up, receiving negative feedback, and not living up to peoples expectations (particularly my parents which is crazy because I’m 33 🥴). I’ve left so many jobs and am so scared to embark on a new career/ study etc because…

I m so lost..don't know what to do...I hate my job,I don't know how to find happiness,no idea what to do with my life

How do you handle the loneliness going through a divorce? My marriage was a living nightmare but I am struggling with loneliness. I was lonely in my marriage he refused to touch me, show me affection and when he did it felt really forced. It was not a happy marriage and people tell me I look so much happier these da...

I hate my job.I hate how I feel when I m there.I wanted to cry today because I feel like the place brings the worse out of me and seriously affecting my mental health.i don't know what go do..I need the money.I have zero confidence so not sure what to do...

Sometimes I feel so useless, like I’m not doing anything being a SAHM but really I’m taking care of this whole life which is everything in itself. But the fact that I’m not doing a ‘job’ that’s bringing in money, and I can contribute to bills just makes me feel I’m not really doing anything. It’s not a nice feeling ...

Wondering if others are the same. Finding people, colleagues, family even people you barely know, seem to enjoy telling you how much harder life will be once you have a baby and ‘just you wait’ and ‘you’ll never sleep again’ even had ‘your life is over’… Frustrating as personally would never say something like this...

I hate it, i do not enjoy motherhood. I don’t want to think about having another. I’m fully 1 and done. I’ve just got to accept there’s no village to help me, and I’m not willing to sacrifice my time and effort and mental/physical health for anymore children. I used to love children and babies, always been a mater...

Since having my little one I really feel like I’ve lost myself. I feel like all I have to ever talk about is being a Mum and all I feel like I am is a Mum. I don’t feel very much like a wife, a friend, a sister a daughter etch. When we are out and baby is asleep I feel it even more so. I feel fidgety and I don’t k...

I can't be the only one one feeling like a failure. I have no one I can really talk to, the fact that I have no village behind me kill's me. The older my kids get the more I feel like I'm failing them..... sorry I needed to get that out

I recently moved to a new area where my partner is from and haven't really met many people here. I don't know any mums and I'm feeling really insecure and scared I won't make any mum friends for my whole maternity leave. I've had a really hard pregnancy physically and mentally and am already worrying about about PND...

Does anyone hate not being with someone? I really miss love and having someone to wake up to each day to and just basically being in love. My baby daddy and I split at the end of January and we haven’t spoken since the beginning of February. And lately I’ve been reading tons of romance novels and watching tons of ro...

Has anyone ever got the urge to just disappear & fall off the face of the Earth ? Everyone & everything is stressing me out & I’ve been thinking about just saving a lot of money, changing my name & number, & moving to a completely different state with my little one. Starting over & just building a whole new life.

I just had a baby almost a month ago she’s my first and I’m obsessed with her! With that being said my husband works a lot and my family lives kinda far and never really wants to come hang out with me! I just feel lonely and need some friends!!

Does anyone else feel like a single parent sometimes? Like when my husband is off playing golf, or doing yard work all day, or goes out to stores or fishing and I’m home alone with the baby. Or do you enjoy the alone with your little one? It’s just a lot to care for them alone all day and the evenings and weekends too…

Anyone else's partners work night shifts and then think they can sleep all day? Don't play or make time for baby, don't help out? And then on their day/s off just sleep or they make there own plans? I feel lonely. We are currently sharing 1 car as well so I feel so trapped 😭 please tell me I'm not alone 😭

For my self and my kids I feel so sad all the time I know it's not to late to go to college and chase my dream but I always see my self unless al for not even have career or habit I even regret that I get married to men that don't have good job since we always under low income and I can't don't any fun ...
