We listen and we don’t judge ✨MOM EDITION✨

I’ll go first. I feel like I don’t fit in with most moms which makes it difficult to connect. My kids are HALF of my world, not my entire existence.

Girl YES @Tas

I feel like if I was honest about my mental and physical health hospitals would fight over who gets to keep me—regular or mental.

I cannot stand to hear my children crying or whining. The crying makes me feel sad & the whining just gets on my nerves🫢

I still resent my MIL for calling my husband away from home when I was 2 weeks pp with our first to take care of his side of the family while his dad was in a coma. She has two other kids that could’ve closed out their fathers affairs but she called both her sons out of the country (daughter was already living with her) then asked me to go check on my BILs wife and make sure her kids where okay. Just a crappy situation for everyone.

@Sarah🦄 the crying is triggering for me...

I let my kids watch tv whenever they want

@Allison Monique I get that, especially when I don't know why my daughter is crying. At the same time, if they're poorly & are inconsolable its heartbreaking.

I always "forget" to set up play dates, I'm afraid to have her go to a classmates house of someone I don't know. When I won't be around.

Since I’ve had my daughter I cannot stand my four year old son sometimes. My daughter is 2 months and since I’ve had her my son’s behavior and tantrums have been out of control. He has half of my heart and I love him to pieces but he triggers the shit out of me sometimes.

I feel like I’m on an island by myself. No matter where I turn to, I still feel alone and misunderstood. I so desperately want to be the woman I was before having a baby, but I don’t think I’ll ever get her back.

It’s hard having no real friends. I just have my husband and kids. And although I’m greatful for them it gets really lonely sometimes not having a girl friend to talk to

@Amy ALL OF THIS. I just came back today from visiting family back home and I have no friends. Just me, my baby, and bf.

@Tas I feel like a lot of moms want more of their own identity and life back (especially SAHM’s) but it can be so hard sometimes for some reason so they kind of give up and live for their kids waiting for things to change. I’m guilty 🤦🏻‍♀️

I feel like I failed my 16 month old because he isn’t saying any words clearly. I fear that I allowed him to watch his tablet too much. Maybe I not reading enough to him. I just feel my actions have caused his speech to become delayed. I feel like I haven’t set him up for success. I want him to be great and I hope I’m enough to get him there.

My toddler only ate different kind of cheese today. Nacho cheese, shredded cheese, cheese picked off her pizza.

@Stephanie J you can stay for the whole play date 😊

@Syntia there is a big cognitive development at 18 months. Bub may well start talking after that!! It's super normal to have only a few words at 16 months

@JoJo you can get it back ❤️❤️

@Ella Thank you so much Ella for the reassurance! Knowing that makes me feel so much better. It was something that caused me lots of anxiety.

I fantasize about sex with someone I used to hook up despite having almost no libido. I feel very very guilty about it but I can't help those dreams and fantasies 😩

@Star jump on some pods, they can be fun 😊

@Um Halah interesting take. I think (good) mothers are the most disrespected group in society. Think of how volatile ppl are towards single mothers. It’s really sad bc we literally birth society, but our society barely supports us in return—especially working mothers. Then ppl wonder why so many women are opting out of it.
