SOO ya in my 30s ..about to be 34, yet I still feel like I'm 18. Maybe even younger. Compared to other moms in their 30s.. I feel like I am not an adult with some of the things you guys want to talk about 🤣🤣. It's cool we all have our lifestyle.. some of us just have it together in other departments. I have been…

Hi mamas, I’m really looking to make some friends right now.

I’ve been feeling really lonely and a bit depressed lately. I don’t have any close friends or family nearby to talk to or share how I’m feeling, and it’s been really hard. I have a 20-month-old daughter, and most days it’s just the two of us. My husband works a second shift, so once he leaves for work, it gets real...

Lost friends and it’s depressing. Does it get better?

I’m posting anonymously because honestly it’s embarrassing even making this post. I had my little one three months ago and I feel like from the moment I found out I got pregnant, my friends drifted away. I have little family and my parents are so absorbed in their own drama and problems they rarely talk to me. I’m i...

Break, what's that?

Do any of you ever get a break from being Mom. I love being a stay at home mom, but I *literally* never get a break from it. I am around my sons 25/8 I can't tell you when's the last time I went anywhere for myself. Me and my fiance have to beg people for help/breaks, but then it becomes a problem or inconvenience f...

Felling so alone

My husband’s family doesn’t really care to show up for my daughter or me. They don’t text, they don’t ask how I’m doing, and they don’t come to visit/help. I’m feeling very alone. All my friends have drifted away, and the only person I have is my husband. I’m feeling really, really empty and lonely. Anyone going t...

Struggling😕

I’m currently pregnant with baby no.2. My last pregnancy was perfect but I had a very traumatic birth and I think it’s making it harder for me to feel attached to this pregnancy. I’m so excited to have another baby in my arms in a few months, but I feel so disconnected from this pregnancy. I don’t feel excitement o...

Rant

I have an Eighteen month old. By the end of the day, I feel spent without achieving anything else. I mean sometimes not even cleaning the house. I follow my little one up and down because she is an active child and needs to be kept safe. I feel useless as a result.

What’s the obsession with youth? I mean I get it…. But why do we fight the aging process so hard 😩

We’re all gonna get old and die one day so why does something that happens so naturally, outside of our control, feel so bad. Like?

Turning 31 tomorrow

I’m so shocked at growing older lol like im in some sort of denial. Everything feels so underwhelming too. All i want to do is a picnic on the beach with my family. No fancy dinners or parties or anything. Yet i feel like i should be doing more since i’ll never get this time back.

Don’t belong?

Did anyone else get the feeling like they didn’t belong after their baby was born? It feels like people are excited to see my baby & I’m just kind of there too.

Feeling lonely and bored?

Is anyone else just at a point now of being so bored and alone? I have no family and only one friend. I see her rarely but she doesn’t have children so usually I take my boy and then we’re a bit limited. My partner is literally all I’ve got. Which is fine, until he’s at work. Or when he comes home from work and is t...
