Becoming a stay at home mom again.

This is going to be a really long story, you can judge me all you want but I just need someone to tell me it’s going to be okay. I (23F) have been with N (25M) for 3 years, we have a (2F) together. I initially was a stay at home mom for about a year and a half, along with while I was pregnant due to being risk and needing constant bed rest. I was miserable, I hated every single second of it. Don’t get me wrong I love my daughter more than anything but I am horrible at staying home. I’m the type of person who can’t physically sit still. My daughter’s dad wasn’t much help as he would pretty much just come home, and go to bed. I remember begging him for help when she was a few months old because I was so exhausted I could barely stand. He said “I’ll just quit my job and we’ll live in a box, but at least you’ll have the help you need.” Well basically we grew apart over the last few years and he progressively got worse and worse about helping, wouldn’t come home until almost bedtime, and just have the general mentality of “she’s home all day and I work so it doesn’t matter.” Well about six months ago I had the opportunity to go through his phone (I know I know) and he wasn’t even trying to hide the fact that he was cheating on me for 2 years, with dudes. 😵‍💫 so we put our daughter in daycare and I got a job but neither of us can afford to move out so we’ve just been co-existing together. He moved to the basement and I kept the bedroom. Well today I got into an accident and it totaled my car. We only have one car now and neither of us can afford to get a new one and insurance won’t cover it. He makes a lot more money than me so at this point I’m just stuck being a stay at home mom again. Don’t get me wrong I love my daughter more than anything but without having a car, I can’t go to work (my boss is amazing and is letting me have the time off and whenever I’m able to work again I can let her know) but in the meantime I’m stuck in what feels like a prison. 😵‍💫 he claims that he’s going to help but he’s made those promises for 2 years. Someone please give me ideas on not loosing my mind 🥺 my daughter loves going to daycare and spending time with her friends but she can’t go for the meantime and I don’t know how long that’ll be 😔

Debit card not working.

So on Monday of this week I went to target and tried to purchase $40 worth of groceries and my card kept declining even though it had like $300 in the account. The employee said sometimes their systems don’t work and it’s probably a them issue. Well later that day I needed to run to the phone store, it took 3 tries for it to go through. I also ordered a handful of things on Amazon and it went there perfectly fine. The next night I went out to eat with a few friends and it declined 3 times again. I called the customer service and they said the transfer I made before I went out hadn’t went through yet even though it shows that it did in the account. So I waited like 2 days and there were zero pending transactions so I went to use it again today with an updated balance of like $50 on a $4 Red Bull before work and it declined. (This was today) and I got to work and called the customer service and they said that the cards aren’t as fast as they used to be and that I should wait 1-2 hours before trying to use the card to make it updated. But I hadn’t transferred money since last night. So I don’t understand at this point and customer service isn’t helping and I haven’t been able to spend money for like a week. Which is not helpful. Anyone else been through this or have advice?

Tired, lonely but can't sleep.

I posted not to long ago about wanting more people to talk to, I recently went through a pretty rough break up and haven't been feeling like myself in a long time, I just want some genuine conversation that isn't "Want to fuck?" or "Show me those tits"

Can’t help but feel like a failure.

I might as well have been a single mom since I was pregnant. My 2 year old daughter has a double ear infection and is refusing any medication. I was lucky enough to get her to take the antibiotic but she absolutely refuses to take anything else. Her dad pretty much said “well it sounds like you tried anything is there really anything I can do differently?” I feel so bad for yelling at her.

feeling lonely and isolated, anyone up for some friends?

Hi, im F23, I recently went through a rough breakup and kinda found friendship at the bottom of a beer bottle, im just trying to make friends to chat with through out the day and maybe make my world a little less lonely. I love to read, crochet, knit, basically any craft really, I love gardening, I have a huge garden this year.

Winter question!

I just bought my porch goose yesterday, and I want to make clothes but I was wondering if I should put clothes on her in the winter, or if I should even leave her outside for the winter? I live in a place where we get below freezing and like 8 inches of snow (she’s going to be covered by the roof of the porch) so I’m curious, does anyone leave a clothed goose outside in the winter?
