This week it’s sharing stories. I’d like to invite you to share a time of difficult mental health; past or present, yours or someone else’s. We know there was a stigma to sharing, but the fediverse is open, caring, and listening and it’s 2024

    Kids are hard work, but remember to take care of yourself too. Do you get time for just you and your OH, or time for you to do something on your own?

      Time for me more, and that is part of the hardest thing about kids. My time with the wife has been slashed, my weekends aren’t mine either. I didn’t get any advice about that at postnatal classes!

        Do you have family or friends close by that can watch the kids to let you go for dinner or go to a class?

          A few times a year. Been calling on babysitters too. It’s the day to day that ails more sadly

              A good while yet, option to defer too with a late in the year birthday
