Anyone feeling so snappy? I am usually quite a chill person. I work part time in a high stress job and also have a 2 year old at home so life is very busy. I snapped at someone at work today and am now a-bit embarrassed. Also snapping at my 2 year old and feel so bad- usually pride myself on being a gentle parent,...

After nearly 5 years of marriage, I feel like my husband and I have grown apart. We still love each other but it’s not just the same.

i feel so alone and broken i’m not a single mom but i always feel like everything i do im doing alone w no care or support

My mom is healthy and only an hr drive away but I tend to miss her so much every day. I feel like I have strived to be so independent that I have not connected with her after I had moved out of her house. Now I am realizing I miss that bond that was so strong I have been reaching out and visiting as much as possible...

I don’t know where to start really, but I need more mam/pregnancy friends to understand what I’m going through, I know this is a late post but can someone please message me or interact with me as I’m feeling really low and lonely right now

I just want to disappear….. I don’t want to adult…. I don’t want to be a mom…… I don’t want to be a wife….. I just don’t want to be here anymore… whatever that means…. I’m just done, I’ve had enough…

I am a 23 ftm & I had my daughter at 22 in November of last year & I feel like I’ve lost friends bc I’m at a different phase in my life than them. Being in your early 20’s everyone is still partying & doing their own thing & figuring out their life. I get dinner once in a while with my group of friends that is mixed...

Has anyone had issues with family being distant once you had the baby, but while pregnant everyone was so excited and ready for them to be here? I feel like I give every opportunity for my family to see my daughter but when they have the chance no one shows up or they show up on their own time.

My almost 2 yr old has always been clingy to me but lately she has been wanting certain people more than me. It makes me so sad, is this normal or am I doing something wrong!

Found out yesterday my dad has cancer. I'm beyond devastated. However, he had a cuddle etc and then went out to his friends for the night? Is this normal? Or should he be a bit more intuitive to think i need support right now. Or am I asking too much

Does anyone live with their baby alone and isnt working? Is it difficult to manage paying bills etc or are you coping ok?

Is anyone an actual successful only child? I come from a big family but I have fertility issues, I had my 2 yr old son and I have been trying unsuccessfully to have another. I hear my son playing alone and he sounds happy but if this doesn’t work out i wanted to hear any tips on raising a singleton. I don’t know any...

Any advice or solidarity please? Exhausted, low mood and craving me time :(

I feel this way. No one calls since they think I don’t have anything interesting to say

I feel that ever since being a stay at home mom, less friends call me. Or when they do call, they talk about themselves or others more than asking about how I am doing and my baby. It’s like my life is not as exciting, or they don’t think about how I feel and what I want to share. Anyone else experience this? I feel...

Im just so mentally , physically and emotionally drained and tired of crying all the time. I’m literally just going one day after the next jus...

How often does this happen? For those of you that have been married 5 or more years...? Been 2 years with alot of ups and downs, 2 beautiful babies and no major issues between us, but the attraction faded, no going out on dates, no flirting, and very little time or headspace for intimacy. I am extremely attracted t...
