My stepmom seems to think we're the babies at the baby shower 😳🎁🤦‍♀️

Ever felt like your life turned into a reality show you never signed up for? That’s me right now. My boyfriend and I, both in our early 20s, are expecting our first baby. We’re not living together yet—money’s tight, and I’m staying with my parents. His stepmom, J, decided to confiscate almost all our baby shower gifts, claiming she needed to “split them up” and “make returns.” She didn’t even ask us! I was left feeling powerless and humiliated, watching her stash away gifts meant for our daughter. Now, I’m questioning everything—why does she get to decide what’s best for our child? Why am I being treated like I’ll run off with diapers and onesies? My boyfriend seems numb to it, but I’m furious and lost. Is this just about control, or is there something deeper? How do we rebuild trust when even basic kindness feels conditional? Honestly, I just want to vent to someone who gets it. What would you do if you were in my shoes? 😤🍼😩 #TrustIssues #FamilyDrama #NewParents #BabyShowerBlues #RomanticRelationships

When Life Throws Twins at You—And Your Relationship Into Chaos 😅

I still can’t believe I’m a mom to twins. Just months ago, I was reeling from the shock of finding out I was pregnant (yeah, you read that right). Now, after my waters broke at 26 weeks, my son and daughter are fighting in the NICU, and I’m stuffed with meds, barely processing any of it. But honestly? The scariest part isn’t the medical stuff—it’s how my partner and I are drifting apart. We’re both exhausted, snapping at each other over the smallest things, and I can’t shake the feeling that we’re not on the same team anymore. I need support more than ever, but I’m terrified I’m pushing her away just by needing too much. Is it normal to feel so alone when you’re supposed to be a team? If you’ve been through something like this, how did you keep your relationship from falling apart? Or is this just what happens when life hits you this hard? 😔 #relationshipstruggles #newparents #emotionalstress #prematurebirth #RomanticRelationships

is it normal for my boyfriend to never hug me even after having a baby together?

So, my boyfriend and I have been together for a while, and we have a 7-month-old baby. He always tells me he loves me, but he just can’t seem to show it physically. No hugs, no kisses, nothing. I’ve tried talking to him about it, but he says he just doesn’t know how to be affectionate, even though he wants to be. It makes me feel super lonely, especially now that we’re parents. I miss feeling close to him, and I’m worried it’s going to mess up our relationship. Has anyone else been through this? How do you deal with a partner who can’t show affection, even when they say they care? Any advice would help so much. #relationshipadvice #newparents #affectionissues #helpneeded #RomanticRelationships
