I've been around impatient people all my life which is why "patience is the ultimate virtue" in my book. I aim to practice patience daily and what that looks like for me is -waiting in a long grocery line without worry, not letting traffic dictate my mood bumper to bumper can't faze me...baby cries music to my ear...
I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook and instagram. At Christmas time especially I feel like I’m falling short compared to other mums. I’m a SAHM and my partner doesn’t earn lots of money but we get by and usually I’m not bothered and happy with my choice in life but can’t help but feel sad that other pe...
Honestly, I don’t really know why I’m posting this. I think I just want to get it off my chest. Since having my baby and going on maternity leave I’ve lost all of my friends and feel completely isolated. It’s made me realise I don’t think they were ever truly my friends and that the only reason I was friends with th...
Hi all, just writing to share somewhere really and in case others may feel the same. I've wanted to have children my entire life, I'd think about it all the time and even my pregnancy and birth were fairly positive. I absolutely adore my LO but feel there's something wrong with me as I'm really struggling with the...
Hey mammas. Sorry for the down post but do any of you struggle with feeling low quite a bit? What do you do? I’m sleep deprived which I know won’t help and feel like the more I try to ‘fix’ sleep it actually makes me feel worse so maybe just need to accept it and hope it will get better soon. I feel touched out...

I’m the first out of my friends to have a baby, and I’m finding it so difficult to talk about how I feel/the difficulties of early motherhood when they just don’t understand and give such crap advise. It’s not their fault, and i get that, because how are they to understand if they’ve never experienced it, but it’s s...
I’m feeling really anxious about having a lack of support system here for when the baby comes. We moved from South Africa to London about 2 years ago and have no family here at all. We have friends but none that feel like family and that we know will be there for us in the early days with actual hands on support. My...
Saturday night as a SAHM is lonely. I miss my friends and my free time. And money is tight when my partner is the only one working. I thought I’d be the mom that would just take my baby out with me, but we are at 13 months old and still not sleeping through the night. Routine is crucial. We can’t leave the house pas...
I have a 4 month old son that I love to pieces however since becoming a mother I’m feeling as lonely as ever. My partner works long hours and I have no one to look after my son. Where I go my son goes. When my partner isn’t in work he pops to pub to see his friends leaving me parenting. I’ve got a few friends (many ...
I haven’t been on here for a while. Any moms would like to be my friend lol…. I’m 8 1/2 months & it’s like everything hurts my feelings but iknow I’m not tripping.
Anyone else after having your baby feel completely disconnected from your significant other? I’m two months post partum and I just don’t care for my fiance anymore or I’m annoyed by dumb things he does and idk why. Before our baby I was so in love with him and now I just feel like I rather be alone sometimes. He’s a...
My little girl will be going to nursery in May when she’s 9 months old. I have to go back to work as we just can’t manage financially on one salary. However, whenever I think about leaving her at nursery I cry. I can’t imagine being away from her or people I don’t know looking after her. I really thought I’d be exci...
None of my family including my siblings invited my husband and I for thanksgiving. I found out they were getting together for dinner by my youngest sister. None of my siblings have even reached out since their first newphew (my son) was born. Only my youngest sister. Should we bother to stop by their house or stay h...
Hey all Anyone feel like motherhood can be lonely? Anyone from Scotland
Seems like nothing is going well for me. I feel like I have no purpose. I wanted to do something new, get out more by applying to daycare jobs/Working with Children so my kids can also stay close. No good outcomes. Then I wanted another child and after a good conversation with my husband, it looks like ill he taking...
Did a Nubologists thing tonight at it said 85% boy. I have a son already. I feel absolutely shattered. I am so desperate for a girl, it’s been a dream since I was little to have my own daughter. And then with 2 boys, I’m going to be pushed out even further. I hate the way this feels. I haven’t stopped crying since 😭
6 years ago, I was stuck in survival mode. A mom to three beautiful kids, but I felt invisible—like my only identity was “Mom.” I poured everything into my family, but deep down, I was exhausted, unfulfilled, and questioning if there was more to life. Fast forward to today—watching my kids laugh, explore, and thriv...
Has anyone experienced this and how have you turned your life around?
I’m really struggling in life lately with my 10 month old son. Me and his dad are going through a divorce after being together for 3 years. It was very unexpected and I am heartbroken about this. I don’t have any friends or much of people to talk or hang out with so any kind words or conversation would be nice. I’m ...
