Why is motherhood so lonely?

Before I had my beautiful baby girl I had friends coming out of my ears, but since finding out and having her all of my friends have all slowly dropped off one by one and as a teen mum I find it harder on these types of apps to meet people and I honestly don’t know what to do anymore, I’m just finding motherhood so lonely.

You’re not the only one🫠 I’ve had too many people including family promising to come see me and my daughter, have they bothered? Nope. Sometimes it’s good to be lonely but it’s more hard

You’re definitely not the only one - my daughter is 1 now and I’ve managed to find my rhythm in motherhood and feel less lonely. My tips are; - plan your days, even the days I just pop into B&M to grab some washing up liquid are days I left the house and felt less alone. - find some classes and get out of your comfort zone chatting to other mums. I now have a WhatsApp group of mums I have met and we talk everyday - so even though we might not see eachother a lot, I feel less lonely because someone is on the end of the phone - and as brutal as it sounds - those friends and family who don’t make an effort aren’t worth you or your daughters time. Is their loss & it’s not your job to make them part of your lives. Focus on the people who do show up 💕

Me too, I had so much friends in college but I lost them all🥲and I don’t how to make friends on this app I live in Northampton we can be friends

Yeah me too, I didn’t have many friends to begin with and now feel like I’ve basically got none. Still speak to my best friend but haven’t see her in ages. Honestly feel like my only friend at the moment is my baby and my sister😂
