Hey Mamas 🌷

I am new here and when going through the group section my heart made a little jump reading 'socially awkward moms'! Almost like a relief, pfehh.....I am not the only one. It seems throughout the years of distancing myself more and more from things, it feels like it's getting even worse. It makes sense. I wonder h...

Smh

I can't stand when you ask someone if they can do something for you and they do it but yet complain or Bxtch as if they didn't want to in the first place. If you didn't then you should have said something. Nobody made you do anything. Ugh erks my nerves 🙄

How are you coping with a fast paced job and Mum life ?

Hello lovelies. I find myself really struggling going back to work. My job is senior and very technical and requires a lot of built up knowledge which is always changing.

Lonely

I'm sure I get lonelier everyday. My little girl is now 6 months old and I can't believe time has gone so quickly. My puppy is about a week away from being 8 months old. It's not that I don't have stuff to do it's the lack of people I have to see. I have my partner with me everyday after work and I'll chat to people...

Missing their significant other

Anyone else missing their intimate moments with their significant other like the hugging, kissing and cuddling have taken a back burner. Like saying I love you just isn’t enough. Maybe it’s because my love language is physical touch. I just miss the closeness we had before the baby was born. Sleeping in shifts doesn...

Lonely

I feel so very alone. I’m a single mom of 2 and my life is so routine. I have no real time for myself and when I do try and plan something it feels like I have to do the most (find someone to watch them, drop them off/pick them up). I find myself crying everyday on my way home or in the shower. I would love to have ...
