Lonely

Yep 100%! My partner is always working even weekends. My parents have little interest in making the effort so I don’t see them. Don’t have mum friends really to meet 🙄. I’ve tried groups and everything but nobody is interested as where I live is more older people with kids and they look at me like a child (I’m 24)🙄. LONELY ASF over here too dw 💗x

@Sharn I’m sorry you feel the same! It sucks. I tried going to groups too and got ignored! I got judged for wearing makeup 🙃 I’m 31 but I’d never treat another mum like that xx

@Sharn also shame we don’t live closer as I’m in Northamptonshire

Wow for wearing makeup?! 🫣 I feel like sometimes you just can’t win! You don’t look decent then they think you’re dirty and a slob, you make yourself look nice and you’re this stuck up mum 🙃. Aww thankyou! So lovely to know there’s people out there who see us all as equals❤️x

All the time.

@Sharn yeah haha sorry for taking the time to still feel like me 🤣 that’s so true! Whatever you do you get judged so you might as well do what you want. If you’re a mum you know how hard it can be so why be mean or rude to another mum? I would never look down my nose at anyone we all fight the same battles daily xx

I don't know if it's loneliness or I'm just frustrated. I have a special needs 14 yr old and a clingy 10 month old plus I'm 7 months pregnant (failed bc) I've been having problems with contractions and not sleeping at night. My husband basically goes out whenever does whatever and here I am just wanting an hour nap or last night when I was in significant pain he still went to a softball game when all I wanted was to sleep. I don't have anyone to talk to about this unplanned pregnancy and when I tell the truth about it people are all like your feelings will change you'll be ok. I'm like not ok at all and the fact om even willing to tell someone I'm not ol is huge because I don't just talk about my feelings that's saying something. I'm sorry for the rant.

Same boat!!Where do you all live?? We can plan meet-ups for a change.

@Sarah 🇺🇸 I never had a best friend like that either. Like yourself I’ve gotten used to being alone but I’ve found I’m more lonely since becoming a mum?

@Sami don’t apologies for telling it how it is. I’m really sorry you feel like this. Are you close with any family? Have you talked to your husband and told him that you’d like more support? X

@divya sadly I’m in the uk! Sorry you’re going through this too.

I don’t know how you got judged for wearing makeup OP I wear makeup every day and take my boy out every day to libraries and groups and meetups and never got judged for that. But the mums I hang around with, all wear light makeup. As a mum without being lonely I invite my mum friends out that I’ve met from those groups and I spend my days w them or I just drop by their house and chill for a couple hrs
