Nobody told me how isolating and lonely pregnancy can be. Of course I have my boyfriend but it’s not quite the same as having people who have been/are going through it too.

I left my 9-5 job that I didn't like anymore (yet I had no choice but to leave because of my situation, to now owning my own business and being in college for the first time. I think I'm doing good but I feel like it can be better ❤️

I feel an immense need to go stay in a tiny cottage in the forest without a phone for a 30-day minimum. I only want to speak with animals and plants the entire time. But, alas, I am a mother, and young people need me. 💁🏻‍♀️😩 Seriously, though. I want to completely disconnect from everyone and everything. I need a…

Hubby and I have started trying to homestead, growing our own food, soon to have our own chickens and cows. Both kids are down for naps, so I was trying to take a relaxing shower. Suddenly I'm overcome with anxiety wondering if I'll have the knowledge and skills to feed and care for my family, and how we will surviv...

Ive suffered enough! Im ready for my soft girl era . I had a baby by a man child and today i am feeling sooo resentful. I need to relax

I just feel like a joke, I feel like many people do, how we were fed lies growing up about how to do life a certain way and I did and here we are broke af but making the most we’ve ever made in our careers. Ugh….and to think it could get worse???

We are 5 days pp and I am so lost. I feel like I prepared so well, read every book, listened to all the podcasts etc. and now I can’t even get my head around what kind of schedule were meant to have with baby. It’s like I know absolutely zero, running on pure instinct (which makes me feel like I’m wrong at every tur...

Hi guys, does anyone get mum guilt over their children’s friendships? Social media is full of mums meeting up with their children, yet we have spent the majority of half term just us as a family. Really would love to find some friends for my 7 and 4 year old.

How do you feel about receiving advice? Ex; You are expressing a difficult situation but you didn't ask for the advice.

Anyone else get those days where everything just feels heavy and overwhelming and you feel like you can’t talk to anyone about how you’re feeling? 😑😪

Was any of you ever alone during your pregnancy or when you delivered ? I’m now 7 months & have been alone my whole entire pregnancy. It scares me sometimes because I don’t know who Is even going to be In the delivery room with me but I try not to think so far up ahead & stress myself out. Some days It’s easy & I pu...

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...

Sometimes I feel resentful that I chose to marry someone with a child . Loving the child is easy . Dealing with the coparenting is what’s stressful . Not having a say in arrangements but then still being expected to live on their terms . I’m ashamed to say that I’m feeling disconnected because I’m always living wait...

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 do you get around with the baby? Uber, public transportation? I have a 3 year old and no car I want to visit friends and family but I feel like so much can happen but I never leave the house

Anyone else feeling it? Particularly anyone with a toddler? My girl just turned 3 and I feel like I miss her so much even though she’s with me. I can’t give her my full attention and it’s killing me.

Hi ladies, I feel a bit silly writing this but I'm just feeling a bit down in the dumps at the moment, can't seem to shake it off. I know how lucky I am to have my lovely family and home but I just can't seem to stop being a bit of a bloody misery! I'm missing some the freedom of pre-child life and LO has been str...

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. Since being back I feel like I have forgotten everything and although people are being very nice I feel completely overwhelmed and useless, whilst...

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...
