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...

Hey ladies...I'm posting this anon because v v shy to discuss this thing...I'm a SAHM and I feel that my husband is not attracted to me at all...I don't have a v nice body and do not look very attractive as well .... 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

If so what do you to help yourself?

I’m posting anonymously because honestly it’s embarrassing even making this post. I had my little one three months ago and I feel like from the moment I found out I got pregnant, my friends drifted away. I have little family and my parents are so absorbed in their own drama and problems they rarely talk to me. I’m i...

Do any of you ever get a break from being Mom. I love being a stay at home mom, but I *literally* never get a break from it. I am around my sons 25/8 I can't tell you when's the last time I went anywhere for myself. Me and my fiance have to beg people for help/breaks, but then it becomes a problem or inconvenience f...

My husband’s family doesn’t really care to show up for my daughter or me. They don’t text, they don’t ask how I’m doing, and they don’t come to visit/help. I’m feeling very alone. All my friends have drifted away, and the only person I have is my husband. I’m feeling really, really empty and lonely. Anyone going t...

Hello I love and care for my kids. At times I want time to myself then my kids keeps being my shadow

I love my babys with all my heart and I would do absolutely anything for them however I can’t help but always think to myself if I knew what I know now I wouldn’t have ever changed my mind about having kids, like I feel awful I don’t regret having them I mean my life would be awful without them but I miss the life I...

Life’s really lonely I have nobody to talk to. Sitting staring at walls I’m tired of this and crying for hours on end. I am pregnant and feel like I’m such a let down

Tell me this gets easier? All I want to do at the moment is cry, I’ve just moved house and feeling very isolated. 35 weeks and first time mum to be so beginning to feel like the worst mum and he isn’t even here.

I’m currently pregnant with baby no.2. My last pregnancy was perfect but I had a very traumatic birth and I think it’s making it harder for me to feel attached to this pregnancy. I’m so excited to have another baby in my arms in a few months, but I feel so disconnected from this pregnancy. I don’t feel excitement o...
