Struggling

So I am just here looking for tips and tricks anyone has. So I'm a stay at home, homeschooling mom of 3 boys who are 9, 7, and 4. My husband switched jobs and now is gone 12 hours a day for work. It is really hard for me mentally because I am so lonely. I don't have any friends, if I were to just have even 1 friend would that help with? What are tips and tricks you guys have that could help improve this? I guess maybe it's not too much mentally, but I'm just so lonely. Just asking for some advice.

What do you miss the most?

We are almost there! What you miss the most? Is it some kind of food, the way you were sleeping?

Any London mums wanting to make friends?

I really struggle with making friends and literally just want to not feel like I’m too quiet and awkward to befriend.

It takes me a bit of time to warm up but there are so many fun things out there to do but no one to do them with.

I’d love to start a small WhatsApp group for the slightly introverted who want to connect.

Can we talk about how hard it actually is to make mum friends?

You can have a lovely conversation with another mum, exchange numbers and genuinely think, “I’d love to be friends with her”… then somehow life gets busy and you never actually see each other again

Sometimes I think we all want mum friends, but we’re all tired, busy and waiting for someone else to make the first move.

So I’m curious… what do you find hardest about making mum friends?
Is it approaching someone? Keeping the friendship going? Finding mums with similar interests/ages of kids? Or just finding the time to actually meet? 👀

Let’s have a real mum-to-mum chat 💕 And if you’re also looking for genuine friendships, don’t be shy — say hi, you never know who might be looking for a mum friend too 🫶🏽

Looking for my soul sisters🤍

Hi Moms! 💕
I’m looking for the kind of friendship where we actually become part of each other’s lives. Someone to do life with, make plans, go out, try new things, have random hangouts, talk about everything, celebrate each other, support each other, and be there through the ordinary little moments too. I’m definitely a high maintenance friend in the sense that I value consistency 😂. I like friendships where we keep up with each other, make an effort, communicate regularly, and actually spend time together. Not the “we should catch up sometime” and then disappear for three months kind of friendship. 😭

I’m easygoing and love a good laugh, but I really value intentionality, reciprocity and genuine connection. If you’re also looking for a friendship where we can actually do life together, whether you’re in Lagos or somewhere else in the world, let’s connect.🤍

Sex

Completely lost my sex drive since becoming a mum. Last year we had sex once and I got pregnant 🤣.
We have 2 under 2 now.
We last had sex around 6 months ago - which induced labour 😃
I feel awful but I just never have the capacity for it, never crave it. Don't think it helps that I'm struggling with my body image.
My husband tells me constantly how beautiful I am & looks at me the same as he always has.
When we do it, its mindblowing & i think "why dont we do this more." But then I guess, life gets in the way.
I feel bad on my husband as we don't have any sexual contact but I almost feel sick at the thought of it.
It's not a reflection on him because hes fooooinnneeeee 😍 and i love him with my whole heart.

It's me thats the problem. I'm going to the gym & eating well to try lose weight. But what can I do to get it back within myself?

I’ve been told I was awkward

Ive been told i was very odd because I like funeral, does anyone have any weird things they like

Concord, CA mamas💛

Been in the Bay for about 8 years now and STILL have no friends 💔 it’s even harder making friends now that I have two babies (almost 3 & 11months) and a SAHM. Soo… looking to make mom friends in the area and possibly start a mom group? I really would like to have a community of mom friends and get together weekly, bi-weekly, monthly… whatever it is. I just need to get out my house more! And I finally just want some friends lol.

Please read!

ISO of a mommy bestie! I would love to have more friends and be able to bullshit and talk about anything 😊💕

Friends 🫶🏻

I really need some friends or a bestfriend. I have 2 kiddos and a husband but I have nobody to talk to and i feel like im losing my mind. Im from NC but would be willing to be friends with anyone.

Serious friendships only..

Heyyy ladies! 💕 I’m looking for genuine friendships where the conversation just flows! I love a good laugh, random check-ins, deep conversations, and talking about everything and nothing. 😂
I’m easy to talk to, but I need that energy reciprocated! Not looking to carry every conversation or feel like I’m interviewing you lol. I want friendships where we can actually get to know each other, encourage one another, and build a real connection.
If you’re down for good conversation, genuine vibes, and a friendship that goes beyond “hey girl,” let’s connect! 🫶🏽
