So I don’t know how to say this without it sounding awful but I miss my life before having a baby, I miss having time to myself to do things that help me relax and sleep (I really miss sleep). I can’t even look after myself and go days without washing 😔 I feel gross, I look awful and just want to cry all the time……

Only just kind of opened the bubble and I’m already sick of people coming round 😂 does anyone else feel the same, my immediate family have helped with tasks round the house so don’t mind it with them but other people I feel like I’m waiting on them hand and foot and trying to make sure my house is a bit tidier for…

So I am here in the living room relaxing after a long week baby n husband are sleeping n I just enjoying some time alone with out having to be worried about baby getting up I need this time we all need this time alone don’t we ?

I’m a terrible mom. I absolutely hate being home alone with my own child. I feel terrible. But I just can’t do it. I feel like I’m going crazy and everyone’s better off without me

I’m a FTM who moved to France over a year ago and I still don’t have any friends. Every time I use apps to talk to people and I start telling them about myself, they are always saying that I’m too young to have a child or asking me why did I have a child so early. My baby is a blessing but I honestly feel soo bad wh...

Anyone still waiting? I feel lonely and so fed up at this point :(

Why is being a mum the best time but also the loneliest . I never had many friends before moving to Wales and the few 'real' friends I had don't speak to me since I moved/had a baby. The friends I thought I'd made since becoming a mother have all but stopped talking to me since my LB turned 1. I don't know what I'v...

I feel like a bad mom because I feel in some ways being a mom and my LO has ruined my life. Before my child I was going to a university, was in clubs, had friends, had hobbies, had a job, in the gym. But now I’m a sahm, in debt, no money, I had to drop out of school and went to a community school, I can’t hang o...

Hiya, was wondering if anyone else is struggling with the lack of village? All my friends seem to have dropped off the face of the earth despite all having kids themselves (I know life is busy but it’s so hard) I’ve got a 4 year old and a 1 year old and I could just do with some kind of friends so everything’s not ...

I have a 7 month old, I love him but I hate being a parent. I’m also pregnant and I feel like if im not even happy with 1 how will I cope with 2. My partner does help out but I just feel I’m not meant for this life and I don’t know what to do. I want to run away sometimes. I don’t have anyone to talk to my family/fr...

Is anybody going through the same phase when dealing with younger children . All you do is talk and spend time with ur kids like u have no life at all besides that? My girl is 3.5 and my boy is 1 year old. My girl will be going to school in august . Maybe if i get a job things will get better? I am just so occupied!...

Is it normal for a new mom to kind of feel touched out ? I’ve noticed I have some days I’m kind of frustrated because I feel touched out..idk if it makes sense but it’s like I feel guilty for wanting time away from my LO because I’m tired of him being all over me all day 😔😔but i love to be close/ cuddle with him at…

Not sure , if it's loneliness of living in a foreign country / culture or just my own depression creeping up or just a tough couple of days of parenting my toddler. Or if I am just burnt out for being there for everyone , yet no one is there for me when I need them Or if it's the constant trying to get to know m...

My phone gives me anxiety/overwhelms lol , I must rather in person interactions. Am I the only one?

My daughter is 4.5 months old. Not a single one of my friends, including my best friend - the maid of honor in my wedding, has been over to meet her. Ive been candid about my PPD and how crippling it’s been at times and still nothing. Not a stop by, nothing. I am sad, disappointed and feeling so lonely.

Could really use some friends I’m about to leave a 5 year relationship and tbh he was my only friend idk I’m struggling with mom duties now this

Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult? I cannot seem to find even 1 friends to keep in touch with. So I guess here is my lone I am casting out! Hi I’m Kate! I’m 34 and have 2 kids. Boy girl, almost 5 and almost 9. I have adhd. My daughter has autism and adhd and I’m pretty sure my son has adhd too. So we a...

Anyone feeling like this or experienced this?

I’m 32 weeks + 3 days and had a massive break down yesterday to my fiance about not having any friends and feeling very alone other than him. Has anyone else’s emotions been heightened a lot more recently? Or anyone else relate to feeling lonely?

Hey ladies, do you ever feel so alone? Completely different from the rest, you don't fit in with the normal mom groups, a whole lot of everything but not the something to fit in? Connecting with others is so hard when you feel like you have to sensor the most authentic parts of yourself for acceptance. I have no ide...
