Hypocrites 🤨 If you have defended or sat silently throughout the last 15 months of Bidens administration committing gen0cide why should anyone care what you have to say about Trump, Elon or Vance? Your criticism could be valid but

It’s not coming from a place of integrity or education. All the liberals coming out of a rosy 4 year comatose to suddenly pose as antifascists is insane. You’ve proven to stand with one of Americas two tyrannical parties instead of just opposing tyranny.. why??

How to cope with no support network?

Am I the only one with no support network whatsoever? I keep hearing stories of other women struggling and they still have friends, family, or some kind of support network. I have no one, absolutely no one. It's anyone else in the same boat or am I the only one? How does one cope?

Does anyone else have no support network?

Does anyone else on here have literally 0 support whatsoever, as in no family, no friends, no one at all to help, or is it just me? Everytime I see fellow mums struggling, they always always still have a social support network of some kind.

Do you ever feel like a robot?

How are we all staying calm during the challenging moments? 🥴

There are moments of pure joy, and moments of absolute chaos. I’m trying to be gentle, patient and responsive but I was the mum trying to stuff my child into the pushchair today 😭. I should have been a bit more patient but forget everything in the moment sometimes.

Lonely

I never thought being a mum would be this lonely.. I thought I’d have more friends to do stuff with, every one with kids the same age ( just turned 4 year old and my august 2022 baby) as mine are back at work full time. I am also back at work full time but work nights so have a lot of time free in the day!

I didn’t leave…

I found my husband on top of another woman and I didn’t leave but it’s eating me away slowly. Women who didn’t leave how did you cope with yourself? I need help because I don’t see myself leaving.

Grief

My dad passed away in June and I didn’t find out till November due to estrangement. I always held out hope that we would be reunited. Now I’m pregnant and while I have a great support system around me it hurts that my dad will never meet my baby. My moms partner is happy to become a Pop Pop and while I’m so grateful...

Solo play time for 7 month old?

My baby could play up to two hours sometimes by herself. I don’t really leave her alone but I feel like it’s too much? Am I wrong? I feel terrible. Like I should play with her more. I do but not 2 hours at a time.
