Emotional

Feel like my life is falling apart don’t really have anybody to talk to you about it. I have a feeling I’m gonna be single the time my baby shower gets here. I’m so scared about doing this by myself cause I feel like that’s what’s gonna happen. And I just don’t have anybody I can talk to about it.

Missing old life

Does anyone miss their life before having a baby? What was your life before it all? For me, I felt like I was just starting to sort my life out and figure what I wanted. I enjoy the not rushing around, not having to wake up early for anything other then work & just being able to go anywhere & take as long as you wan...

Newly single mum, I feel lost.

I’m quite sad and I’m a shell of myself atm. I love my ex so much and thought he was forever (as we all do I guess) & I’m shattered. I had to walk away from him as we’re just too different, but now it’s like everything is up in the air and I hate it. I’m about to move out of my mums with my 7 month old, and I’m wor...

Lonely in motherhood

I hate to admit it but after 20 months, I can’t deny it - I’m so lonely. I’m a (for the most part) happy SAHM. We’ve moved around quite a bit for my hubbys work and as a result I don’t have a group of friends close by, let alone a group of mum friends. I try to take my LB to classes but I find mums can be so cli...

Constantly feel sick, panicking I’ll be bored, I won’t be able to do it on my own, I’ll feel trapped on my own, I’ll have no one during the night feeds etc? The days are so long 🥺

You’re Doing a Great Job Mama

I just feel really lonely some days? I’m 30 and a normal person with a two year old. But for some reason I can’t seem to meet anyone with a kid who wants to hang out… everyone seems busy or already has their friends? I feel a bit sorry for my son sometimes.

My thought today and let talk about it

Do you ever feel like it's hard to do certain things with your friends who don't have kids? It's almost like you don't have friends, even though you do. It's just that they don't have kids, and it makes it difficult to relate to certain things. Am I the only one who feels this way? Motherhood isn't just a tough job...
