Has anyone came across old friends from university on social media and feel really behind in life? They seemed so successful in life , they have more children, making more money, having a lux life style, and always seem so happy. I know I shouldn’t compare at all. I don’t usually. But for a second when I saw their p...

From what you've leaned in life so far, what percentage of humans are good?

You ladies seem like you have it together, even those of you with young babies! I have an almost 4 month old and some days just feel so hard. I don’t always enjoy being a mama, I’m not always patient and it breaks my heart. How do you do it?

Anyone else just feel so fucking lonely? Thank god I have my baby, I’m basically a single parent living with my partner. I literally can’t stand him anymore and wouldn’t ever leave him with her, he’s never had her on his own and does absolutely nothing to help. It’s exhausting and so fucking frustrating!

I'm the first (and only) of my girlfriends to have a baby. They have their lives, either studying or working, single or in a relationship. I have nobody to talk to or spend time with (except my mom, my baby & my dog). Every single day feels the same because I'm a sahm. I just want to meet moms who understand ho...

Does anyone else feel sad sometimes they don’t have a village? My husbands away a lot so my daughters only have me. I live a few hours drive away from my family and they’ve come up 3 times in 8 months which I’m grateful for. I just feel like they couldn’t care less about me or my daughters. We’re no contact with my ...

I am considering living alone with a 18 month old and pregnant. I won’t be moving in for a few months so will be near having my baby and a 21 month old. I haven’t ever not been living with my partner so don’t know what it’s like living alone especially with a newborn and toddler. What’s everyone experiences?

I feel like a very bad mom. I know everyone has their own parenting styles and problems. I just am so tired…. I don’t feel like I am where I should be with parenting. I hate myself so much and keep trying to change but, never have it last long enough to stick. Before everyone suggests a therapist or seeing someone...

So I just wanted to ask if anybody finds baby groups intimidating? I’ve been to sensory with my 5 month old for the last 2 months and I honestly feel like I’m back in school. I understand a lot of mums are already friends or have met within the group, however, I find when I try and make light conversations I just ...

Is it only me or you start feel disconnected from your friends once you have kids. I am 36 years old and I have a new born and a 2 year old and I am the one among friends and colleagues with kids....even family lol I feel disconnected to everyone, even if I am not that young to have kids Do you feel the same

Does anyone else feel alone in parenthood? I don’t see many people other than those in my household, we have family around but we don’t see them much and certainly don’t have help with our children. I’m starting to feel a little jealous of all the people who have so much help with children, those who get days/nights...

Ever since having my 2nd in August last year I don't know who I am anymore. I'm struggling to be more than just mum and it's so hard sometimes. I felt a bit like this after my first was born but as she got older it was easier to come back to some sort of normal, the new normal almost. Now I don't know who I am other...

Also I don't know how to groom myself...I am just very very basic...I want to connect to other mom'...

Just thought I would drop a message in to see how everyone is doing so far? I’m 6 weeks in and i’m loving being a mum so much, although the sleep deprivation is slowly getting to me. Also, it’s still a long way off but I’ve started having to make childcare arrangements and I’m getting pretty emotional at the thoug...

Look, I understand many women who are SAHM don’t relate because they have the adequate support and resources they need which is awesome. but for others, that’s not quite the story. Girl some days (or weeks) i really fight for my life lmao this shit is hard. so if you’re a SAHM, no matter your circumstances GIVE YO...

SOO ya in my 30s ..about to be 34, yet I still feel like I'm 18. Maybe even younger. Compared to other moms in their 30s.. I feel like I am not an adult with some of the things you guys want to talk about 🤣🤣. It's cool we all have our lifestyle.. some of us just have it together in other departments. I have been…

Anyone else's child still cry a lot before every bedtime/nap??

I’ve been feeling really lonely and a bit depressed lately. I don’t have any close friends or family nearby to talk to or share how I’m feeling, and it’s been really hard. I have a 20-month-old daughter, and most days it’s just the two of us. My husband works a second shift, so once he leaves for work, it gets real...

Hey mommas. How are you feeling today? I’m having one of those days that I just don’t want to apply myself at all. Anyone else relate to these feelings?

Not sure if it’s just me, but I really struggle to leave the house sometimes when it’s just me and my 2 year old. I just find i get so anxious and also because i just find it really boring sometimes. Feel bad saying that but it’s true as i have no adult to speak to and just find it really mundane
