Am i truly jealous?

This morning, I am filled with mixed feelings as I feel completely left out and behind my friends. I used to have a group of friends before I got pregnant. I didn't tell anyone until I was seven months along, but at least I eventually did. Since then, I’ve tried to keep them in the loop, but it seems they’ve moved ...

I miss the old me

I love my life, I’ve truly never been happier but I miss the old me. I miss not having any worries, I miss being able to pop to the shop, I miss being spontaneous, I miss the relationship I used to have with my partner, I miss my old body, I miss listening to my music loud in the car, I miss late nights. I love my ...

Visitors

Anyone else just a bit bored of visitors now 😂 I feel awful but my baby is 7 weeks now, we are starting to get into a routine and I’m still getting messages off people wanting to visit (some I have only heard from since giving birth) Some even dictating when they are free like I’m expected to just work around…

As a Mom , who else stays away from both sides of the family?

I'm never around anyone except my Husband and our 2 pets , which is how I prefer life. I don't visit or speak to anyone on Me or Husbands side of the family. Who else stays away from everyone and just focuses on their kids and spouse ?

Rant

Does anyone get annoyed when people constantly tell them not to do things or be careful? I understand people care but I find it frustrating. Example: I’m at a small wedding and stood on a pinic bench seat to dance with friends. I was automatically shouted at to get down, it just ruins my spirit 🤔
