Exhausted

I’m so tired! I work as if I didn’t have a baby. I take care of baby and home as if I didn’t work. Husband is always thinking I have someone else as if I had the time or energy to care for that. I’m exhausted. I have no friends, I have no emotional support, I’m always giving so I can prove that I love them. I feel s...

I feel so alone.

I have no friends or family that I can talk to that isn't always so negative about EVERYTHING. Even my boyfriend is SUPER negative lately and it's just bringing me down and I want to do is cry.

Non mum friends

Anyone else really struggling with your friends that don’t have kids? I adore my friends and want so badly to keep a great relationship with them, but my goodness it is hard. I feel like they make so little effort in comparison to how much they used to, and often don’t really think about the impracticalities of do...

Mixed feelings

Im in my early 20s and currently 24 weeks pregnant, and the closer it gets to my due date the more I feel like I’m not gonna be a good mum. I’m so excited to meet our baby girl in September and we’ve buying so much stuff for her, but at times I regret keeping the pregnancy because I miss my pre-pregnancy life. None ...

Anyone else feel like this?

Once you’ve experienced something, you have to move on and not look back. I’ve lived in many places, visited many and have had lots of jobs etc. I just came across a girl I used to live with years ago. We did seasonal work together in a deserted country town. I haven’t seen her or spoken to her since we left but I d...

Feeling lost

Does anyone just feel so lost and feel they have no friends and just stuck in a rut of motherhood and work... I'm 41 with 5 kids, a young 41 in my eyes, love a good laugh and banter but just feel like ask my friends are busy with their own lives and I'm stuck in a whirlwind of depression.

Friends

Hoping this reaches other like-minded mamas out there, but ever since moving here to Oregon I feel like it’s been so hard to make friends. And now with a baby it’s even harder. I’ve been so emotional these last few months and really could use a good friend. Someone who is interested in having days where we just hang...

Can anyone relate?

So I’m 40+1 and I’ve had such a fed up day… I’m honestly sick of people ringing and texting asking if baby is here. Even though intentions are good and people are just excited I’m feeling so emotionally deflated and just want to meet my baby now. Every time someone asks me if she’s here yet just upsets me.

Self-Doubt: Is it you or is it them?!🫣

Self-Doubt: Is it you or is it them?!🫣 Bless those who support you & bless those who don’t…It says NOTHING about you either way. This is why self-sourcing validation is so powerful…If you need the applause from others to stay motivated, you’re going to be frustrated often….Especially if you own a business. Stop…

Am I the only one??

Hi everyone, I have a question that I am a bit embarrassed to ask but it is something that plays on my mind and I need a bit of help at the moment… For some reason, I have an issue with going to any international cities that my partner has already been to with his exes. It sounds silly now I am verbalising it but...

Do you ever miss your old life before kids?

Don’t get me wrong I love my LO and they have everything they need. I just mourn my old life sometimes. Being a SAHM is really tough some days. Not sure if this is the right word but I don’t feel very fulfilled?
