Lonely

I never thought being a mum would be this lonely.. I thought I’d have more friends to do stuff with, every one with kids the same age ( just turned 4 year old and my august 2022 baby) as mine are back at work full time. I am also back at work full time but work nights so have a lot of time free in the day!

I didn’t leave…

I found my husband on top of another woman and I didn’t leave but it’s eating me away slowly. Women who didn’t leave how did you cope with yourself? I need help because I don’t see myself leaving.

Solo play time for 7 month old?

My baby could play up to two hours sometimes by herself. I don’t really leave her alone but I feel like it’s too much? Am I wrong? I feel terrible. Like I should play with her more. I do but not 2 hours at a time.

Is it normal to feel guilty for having / setting boundaries?

So I feel really stupid as im so clear on what i will or will not allow in terms of my boundaries. But sometimes I can not help but feel bad for the person who's on the receiving end, let's say. Even though I know all of my boundaries are totally reasonable.

Feeling lonely

I thought after having a baby, my friendships with my friends with kids would strengthen. Instead it just feels like I’m chasing everyone and putting myself out there and no one else is reciprocating. Most have children the same age as mine. So I just thought it’d be natural to see each other more, not less. Just ti...

Has anyone else felt like they lost their identity after having children?

My daughter is two and a half. She is my world and I wouldn’t have it any other way. But since having her I feel like I lost who I am completely. It’s been so hard for me to find a job and I honestly feel like I’m good for nothing. The only thing I’m good at is being a mother. I love being a mom, but is that all I’m...
