when did you find your solid friends in motherhood? im so jealous of everyone that has their one solid mom friend & i feel so isolated and lonely with no one to talk to about my baby other than family. Im only 21 so i feel like this is a super weird stage for me.

Hey! Anyone else getting separation anxiety and an urge to constantly be around their partner? I don’t know what is up with me is it my hormones or what 🫠25 weeks today 🤍

I've been different my whole life and I've never wanted to be necessarily. I'm the og hipster and have always been a influencer type person even before social media. But I got some mad haters, especially my inlaws because I encourage my husband who is a wild ass man but also like super creative and he worked his ass...

Just wondering what is considered normal or not. My son does not seem to care when we’re reunited or does not miss me when I’m gone. Is this normal ?

Idk if it’s normal to just feel so gloomy & over it but the way people portray their lives & significant others makes me feel like I can’t relate. Like I’m bored, feel overwhelmed and stuck everyday.

I’m so happy. But feel so lonely in new motherhood. And can’t believe I don’t have someone to go thru this with. It just bums me out.

All I am is a mom. A fucking mom. I love being a mom but that's all I am. I have no friends, family, anything. I cry all the time because I'm so lonely and miserable.

Does anyone else’s partner doesn’t spend any time with them? I constantly feel so alone besides my baby. Literally have a house that is so empty because he’s never here emotionally mentally and barely physically.

I feel isolated and trapped, I have no friends my family like in a different town and my partner works nights, I see my partner maybe 2-4 hours a day and he doesn’t help me with my 8 months old, I love my daughter so much but I sometimes want to hide away. I feel like a single parent. I miss my family and want to mo...

I'm gonna start off by saying I'm not one to care much about news or current events... So right now I have an assignment to define the word rebellious in my own words, which I'm going to define in a good light but I need to think of a person from the past 20 years that's rebellious (still alive) and answer how and w...

I have a 1 month old and feel like I am genuinely struggling with everything at the moment. Baby won’t settle and I feel like I’m doing everything wrong 😢 I want to be really happy and enjoy baby but it’s just so hard I’m literally just hanging on and in survival mode. Is anyone else feeling the same? I have…

I had my second baby 3 months ago and I just don’t feel that strong motherly love and connection unlike with my first… I didn’t want a second child and honestly I can not do it! I really really don’t like having two kids and I feel awful! Is this feeling going to pass 😭 I just feel like my entire life has been…

I got fired from my job at the end of April when I was almost four months pregnant. I haven’t been able to find a new job (no one wants to hire a pregnant woman) so I’m at home by myself a lot. My husband works full time so obviously he has to leave during the day. I don’t have a lot of friends since moving states a...

Hey Just wanting to vent really. Just feeling so down with life atm. I’m sure many can relate. In particular my lack of village. I thought I’d have one. I have 3 sisters and my mum and they’re just not really that interested. I send pics of my baby and they’ll occasional comment and like but they’re not really the...

I’ve been staying up late to work on my online classes, busy throughout the day with the kids, cooking, and working on sewing projects. I feel like I never get a moment to myself, but I LOVE sewing and school is so I can have a MUCH better job in the future. I checked my Apple Watch yesterday morning and it counted ...

It’s a real scary thought. Right now I’m very dependent on my husband, and I think that is why I am afraid to step away. I’m just overall fucking nervous too. 1. I honestly wish we could work things out. But 2. I just can’t keep crying everyday hoping something changes. But I’m scared to leave.. and the guilt. The...

Any other single first time moms who been feeling lonely? Even when I’m around people I feel unwanted or like I’m being ignored or cast out. Just me or is anyone else feeling that too?

Do you ever feel lonely when your child goes to bed? Single mum who stays alone with daughter and it’s so hard when she goes to bed

Does anyone feel bad when their babies are playing alone and you’re just on your phone? Like I’ll get caught up with something on my phone and then remind myself to play with my baby but then I’ll see her content and having a good time so I remember the saying “don’t make a happy baby happier”. I also know Independe...

So I took my 11 month old baby to baby group session, it was nice and I was happy my little one was enjoying. But I don’t know it’s just me or its just like that , I felt bit left out , i was the only one to communicate and they just answer me and didn’t ask anything about my boy, so I was like that’s fine so i play...
