Any single mums who have the baby 24/7 and barely any family around find it difficult and lonely at times? I love my boy to bits but I’m starting to miss being with someone just for the company? Little man’s nearly 4 months old and it’s just me and him 24/7

Anyone else feel like their partner doesn’t understand them? At the moment my little one isn’t very well and has the 💩s and cries a lot, she’s also had her injections. Today I asked if he’d go to his parents with the baby without me, and now he’s in a foul mood with me, I’ve let him go to the pub last night and I…

Hey everyone, I’m a first time mum to my beautiful baby boy, but also a stay at home mum, while my partner works. I would like to ask how people deal with the stay at home mum life, as I’m struggling. I pretty much don’t leave my house, and just always clean and tidy and obviously take care of my little guy. But I’m...

Everyday I wait for my baby daddy to wake up , to see what we doing for the day . 😫😫 i miss moving on my own time. I literally can get so much done , if I didn't have to be on his time . Like if we out hustling and I get hungry . He makes me wait until we done to get something to eat . Because he wants to make…

Is anyone else just feel like they are not themselves? I feel like I’m just mum. Baby is 2 months old and I’m breastfeeding so I don’t leave baby much at all. In fact I don’t really want to leave her. But I do feel jealous of her Dad as I feel like he has carried on with life, going back to work, seeing friends ect ...

How do you cope with having more than one child with sen I am feeling so depressed I have no life of my own and I feel judged by everyone including the teachers at the mainstream school and I feel like I’m failing I’m tired of pretending to be happy and strong I get jealous sometimes of other mums who have an easy life

I can't stop the sadness and loneliness. They're horrendous. I know it just means I loved my baby. But it's so damn hard.

I have a 5 month old and I feel so lonely during the day when my partner is at work because there's not a lot to do. How do other mums cope?

Is it just me or is being a full time stay at home mom really hard sometimes especially when you have no friends to talk to. Being a stay at home mom full time has its good moments but for me it also has its depressing moments as well. I really think having a friend I could just text and reach out to would help a lot

If one more blog, influencer, or book tells me to wake up 15 minutes earlier for self-care, I'm going to scream. 😤 That advice just doesn’t work for me. And honestly, I don’t think it’s practical for most moms either. Every extra minute of sleep is precious—sleep is self-care! My belief is this: self-care…

I am very happy to spend every day taking care of my baby. I love the quality time and being able to meet his every need. I am grateful to be a SAHM, but sometimes, especially after 10m, I miss working? I miss being around people every day and interacting with guests at work. I miss the creative outlet my work provi...

He finally got the confidence to go down slide on his own

Having a hard time balancing what’s in front of me and social media scrolling. I want to be more present but at the same time I’m bored. Phone pick ups are crazy high. How do i quit

Anyone free for a chat? Little one has just turned a month old and I can’t shake these feelings of sadness all the time. I’m barely sleeping, even when little one sleeps, I find myself just wide awake even though I’m so tired. I’m starting to feel like the worst mum. I don’t want to talk about this to anyone I know ...

I start my new job tomorrow 🎉🎉 I don't have much friends and just wanted to post it here for some encouragement 💝 My partner is emotionally abusive and I'm in the process of leaving him, he has beaten me today because he knows tomorrow I start work so when big changes happen for me he will find a reason to beat me…

Anyone else’s friends just seem to have fallen off the face of the earth since having 2 kids. When I had my first we still chatted and saw people regularly. Now my second is nearly 3 months old and someone I thought was my best friend just isn’t bothered about seeing us. when we make plans she cancels at the last mi...

Am I wrong for enjoying a night away from my baby? I have friends who would never seperate from their babies despite being really worn out and exhausted. If I get a night to myself I almost feel guilty for enjoying it, but I think I am a better mum if I am in a good headspace myself. I feel like some mums make you f...
