happytoddler88 Her face went totally blank when I mentioned a local drop-in spot for new mums, even after she’d said she felt stuck on the basics. I tried just offering to come over with a simple meal plan instead and she still looked unsure what to do next.
tinytornado17 That blank stare hits different when she’s already said she’s stuck. Sounds like even picking a plan feels like one more thing she can’t handle. Maybe just drop by with nothing scheduled, see if she opens up on her own.
happytoddler88 Haven’t tried dropping by without any plan yet, worried it could feel like too much pressure if she’s already blanking on basics.
tidytots4u That worry makes sense when she’s already blanking on the next step. Try texting one small option she can answer with a yes or no, like “Want me to swing by for fifteen minutes so you can grab a shower?” Keep it that steady a few times and see if it opens anything.
DadWithPride That worry about extra pressure tracks when she’s already blanking on the basics. A quick yes-or-no text about one tiny thing like a short visit keeps the choice with her and avoids any surprise.
happytoddler88 Tried a simple yes-no text like you said but she left it unread for a day. Still not sure what to do next.
