I'm feeling quite sad this evening about my baby boy who's just over two, I think he has autism and I just wish I could chat with him so badly but he just doesn't understand communication and doesn't speak, I pray with everything I have, he will get diagnosed and the speech therapy will help him because I feel so lo...

me n my partner live with my mum & i’m expecting my baby in july! i want to stay here because it’s cheaper & also, we have a big spare room for baby. however, i am worried that i won’t be as independent & i’ll subconsciously let my mum do everything because i’ll be tired😢 has anyone experienced this or did you…

My mom moved to be close to me & my kids. Which is great. I truly love having her around. But she doesn’t have a support system here (aside from me & my kids) & doesn’t want one. No friends, she doesn’t work, no other family close by. These are her choices, she could work or get out & meet people if she wanted to. A...

I have had a pretty traumatic year on top of just having a (second) baby and i feel like everyone i thought was a good friend has completely dropped off the face of the earth. During good times they have been good friends but i feel like any hardships and i never hear from them. I feel like people dont know what t...

😭 no real friends or family that’s close. I’m over it all.

Who here feels like they are capital D-DONE having kids. And who feels like they'll never "feel" DONE? I'm currently a Mama to 3 kids. I love kids and I don't think I'll ever feel "DONE" if that makes sense 🤔😂. I'm stopping myself at 3 due to the lack of support that I have and because I want to be sure I can…

I used to be so on top of everything and these days I feel a bit more frazzled and takes me a bit longer to process things. My brain feels like mush part sometimes. Is this my new norm?? How do I fix this?

I'm now sat here, 15 weeks left, nothing more I can really do other than the odd shop for baby and organising is scheduled for Sunday. I spend all day watching videos on parenting tips and lists of things I'll need from this point on. Anyone else feeling like they are just waiting and feeling kind of lost?

It feels like I'm the only one out of my friends who hasn't left their LO for a significant amount of time yet. I don't mean nursery during work, I mean a whole day out with friends or a night away. How about everyone else?

Does this sound like a sincere apology? The yeses makes me feel like it isn’t or maybe I’m tripping.

Hi, my name is Beth and I’m 23. I’m a first time mum to my beautiful little boy Arlo-James and I’m struggling with postpartum depression and loneliness. If I’m being honest I think I just need some friends, real friends. Someone you can trust and just vent to and FaceTime. If you feel like you just need someone to t...

wish I could get a break before I break somebody in my house.

How do YOU practice self-care on tough days? Self care is something we ALL need to prioritize. You can't pour from an empty cup! So what do you do to take care of you??

I’m currently 8 months postpartum and ever since i had my baby it been an eye opener for me, especially the people that family members and friends. People really don’t care.I done calling people first just so people can talk to me or my baby. I learn the hard way. So after today i wash my hand with people. People ne...

Ever since my twins were born I have been having trouble making friends. We are not poor but definitely not wealthy. We have enough to pay the bills and a modest savings but no money for extras like holidays or even the much needed extra therapies our disabled son could benefit from. It has happened over and over th...

Can anyone relate to this? I’m 26 and going to be a first time mum in May and absolutely sh***ing myself. I’m emotional about it and just already feeling like I’m going to fail…

The best response? Live your life well. The cumulative effect of our individual thoughts and actions can influence. Humans lie, bully and others will enable it...it's part of the human condition. Doesn't make it acceptable but living your life well is the best antidote (e.g., not causing egregious harm to others by ...
