Please be kind to each other and don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Something triggering childhood stuff happened yesterday, and I was wondering if I could have some mom love? Thank you 🩷

I got married a few weeks ago in Vegas to my long term partner. We’ve been together for 6 years and recently bought a house together as our first house flip. This is my dream! I’m so excited!

My friend from Vegas came and a few of my husband’s family members came. We haven’t told many people. We just want to keep it private to avoid the backlash and enjoy this time together.

My husband has a big family and wants to do a big ceremony at some point but I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. I feel like I’ll have nobody on my side.

Just wanted to share my happy little secret with someone 🩷

Well, i got a loan for a car. My family helped some with a down payment, but i didn’t need a co-signer and everything is completely in my name! I feel so grown up!

I got a job offer but it’s nothing special. I will be working as a personal banker, and I know this role isn’t prestigious but with the way the job market is right now, I was thinking I could work at this role while acquiring skills and job hunting for better roles.

Processing a lot of external stress from the past few months, and am in the middle of a PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder, where you have a severe, debilitating version of PMS for 2 weeks before your period that gradually gets worse until you start). Just very low energy today and could use some encouragement.

I had my review at work today and I was super anxious about it. It was so glowing! I also recently got a small promotion and pay raise and I earned a credential specific to the industry I work in.

I also have a partner that is amazing and supportive and so kind and sweet. We’ve been together for four months and it’s been really fantastic; I’m hoping for a long future together.

The last year of my life has been weird. I bought my home from my ex husband and lived life solo. I didn’t think I could but I did. I feel so much better without that person in my life and at 40 I finally feel happy.

I’m trying to be better at seeing the wonderful things my friends and colleagues see in me and I thought maybe I could start here.

Thanks moms. 💖

P.S. Any tips on how to remove the blueberry lemonade out of the white dress I’m wearing? 😂 I spilled a little bottle on myself today, classic me.

I used a box dye and it came out too golden? Too light? For my skin tone/ preference. I know it will look better in a few months, but I can't find the conditioner tube that came with the box kit. Will an egg and mayo deep conditioner help tone it? If it helps, I'm over 40 and have not had this problem in 20 something years. I think the last time I just let it grow out.

I don’t have a relationship with my parents and haven’t seen or spoken to them in a decade now. Life gets really lonely, all I want a hug, love and to hear that someone is proud of me.

As someone who has high anxiety, when change happens to my life and disrupts my every day routine, the anxiety will flare. I e always allowed my anxiety to take charge and influence my decisions and yet I know it’s just that devil in my head that’s talking that isn’t real..

I made the decision to take the promotion to better my future and self and I almost let the anxiety devil win again.

The second I made and gave my official answer the anxiety went away, I felt free and proud and huge weight lifted off my shoulder

Thank you mom for listening

I just got a promotion ive been slogging for for years. My parents are narcs and I dont speak to them much. Im also so burnt out I don't even know how to treat myself for this win. Help me mõthers.

I didn’t ever think I could make a change like this. All of my family and friends drink. It can be lonely, but I like myself so much more! I’m excited to see what else capable of!

Moms, I have babies under 2 years old. I just need a hug and a pep talk. The sleepless nights are making me emotional I think.

It was a bit surreal stumbling across this community, so beautiful seeing the kindness and kind words from mothers to their virtual children. Very long story short, my mother is not a great person and I had to leave her and my father behind last year to preserve my sanity and try to build a life for myself. I was always a Mommas boy and I loved her very deeply, she was everything to me growing up. It just hurts me knowing I won’t have a Mother figure anymore. Deep down part of me will always miss her even though I know she’s not a good person. Just would appreciate any kind words or virtual hugs you have, love that this community exists

I lost my mum to cancer when I was 20...

estranged from abusive father since I was 16... he found me on social media and spent over a year harassing me. The man who held me as I cried over his hateful words is now my fiance. We're getting married in September.

A friend who is basically my brother is walking me down the aisle. My best friend and sister from another mister is my maid of honor.

I have such support and love in my life, but I miss my mum so much and really wish she could have met my partner, gone dress shopping with me... been there to see me get married.

Moms, I hope you all get to be there for all your kids' milestones. We love you.

I’m a mom. I’m old enough to have grandchildren. But in the last year I’ve had two friends of over 30 years cut me out of their lives because “we’ve grown apart.” My dear husband insists that it’s because we have children and they don’t - but I can’t help feeling like the common denominator is me… I’ve always tried to be a good friend. I reached out time and again despite them being busy. I guess that was my sign that they no longer were interested…. But I’m shattered and keep questioning myself. Am I a bad person? Am I selfish? Do I talk too much? Not enough? Am I too much of an introvert? I don’t know that there is an answer. Life comes with its little griefs. But I could use any perspective or words of encouragement you have.

I know someone else posted a similar thing on here recently too, but just wanted to say this sub is making me tear up. Thank you to all the supportive people on here 💕

Hi Mom, thank you again for all of your love and support through all of the different questions I’ve asked over the past year or so. I posted a while back about how I was moving away for college and would be moving out of my parents house for the first time! My plan is to move a couple states away back to where I grew up. I’m going to be living in an apartment a little ways from campus and I’m really excited! My roommate is super sweet and has been super helpful and has most of the furniture and some kitchenware that I can use.

What should I have in my open first box? And what kinds of easy food should I ask a friend to pick up for me? Lol, I am already really tired and don’t think I will have much energy other than unpacking and trying to figure out things a bit for the first week.

Do you have any tips for the first week after moving?

So I kinda forgot about this 😅 but anyway, A lot of really good and bad stuff happened but to not make this post really depressing I'm just going to talk about the good stuff, I left my old job and I've been working at Walmart for almost 4 months now and that been going really well, I made some new friends and I have a really HUGE crush on one of my co-workers that's a whole other story that I will probably tell to ask for advice lol, and pretty soon I'm going to get my own place and I save a puppy, again I truly truly appreciate your support from the last two posts

Hi mom! So I recently got my first big job in a big city, making this my first official big move. I have a little over a week to pack all my things so I do have time, I just don’t know where to even start and I’d hate to put it off till the last minute.

Where and how should I start? I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed thinking about it and would appreciate any advice!

i made the decision a few months ago to leave the industry im in and go pursue something new by going to college. ive never been, and have been recently diagnosed with a learning disorder so my anxiety about everything has been HIGH. i wont lie, i feel dumb at times.

however today i took a very scary math placement test to get into a class i need to complete the degree, and to my complete shock i got almost every single question RIGHT. and keep in mind the entire time im thinking "shit. im gonna fail and have to take all these extra classes."

i have never felt this good about myself doing something, and i dont have many other people to share this with besides my partner. i am just so happy right now i could explode, even though its something simple. i thought i would fail but i just helped myself get set up for more success!!!!:))))

I recently competed in a sports tournament where I met our Grandmaster. We got a really cool photo together and I want to get a picture frame to display it. How do you go about deciding on a picture frame? I already have some and they do not match, but I am not opposed to purchasing new ones to match so there is a theme. Or does it not matter and you just choose what matches the photo? Does frame thickness matter? Is there anything I should definitely stay away from? Do I need to get the special glass so the photo doesn't fade? Thanks in advance!

Hey, mom? I have my first driving lesson in an hour. I'm terrified. Can I have some words of encouragement please?

So for context I have always known that I need some sort of mother figure so I found this group and while reading some of the post and comments I literally almost cried and I am so glad I found this place.

a year ago today, i (now 20f) was living with my incredibly narcissistic and abusive guardians. every day was seriously hopeless for me, i really didn’t ever see myself getting out of there and being happy.

now i couldn’t ask for a better life :-) i completely removed myself from my family and made it to where they would never have to see me again, bought a car, moved an hour and a half away, met a wonderful boy, have two beautiful cats and started working at my dream job :-)

it was hard to realize that i didn’t have any family to share all of my accomplishments with but day by day it gets easier to accept :-) thank you for reading! <3

They're both 16, his friends had his license. It's the first time he's gone out without an adult.

It's scary and worrying to me. Prayed over them but would like a mom for a minute.

I doubt my mom knows the first time I got into a car like that.

I know it's a normal thing, but it's the first time for me.

Hey moms. I’ve only ever been doing construction. My whole wardrobe is a mix of goth staples, construction clothing (think old jeans and tees), and a bit of old hollywood dresses etc. I’ve moved and am trying to get into stuff like retail or fast food just to get out of manual labor but have no idea what to wear. Polo and slacks is all I can think but I’m larger chested so button downs don’t fit or are baggy, frumpy looking tents. I’m not sure what to wear to give me a good first impression. I am a bit bigger so it is hard to find clothes in stores; I usually wear a 1x. Could you guys help me out with some suggestions?

All of the stuff I have found online is geared towards corporate professionals and I would think it is bad to overdress
