Am I the only one to feel this way

Since having my LG I feel most of my social group has distanced themselves either having older children or not got children. The friends I do have aren't local and have busy schedules

I miss the old me

I love my life, I’ve truly never been happier but I miss the old me. I miss not having any worries, I miss being able to pop to the shop, I miss being spontaneous, I miss the relationship I used to have with my partner, I miss my old body, I miss listening to my music loud in the car, I miss late nights. I love my ...

Any other SAH moms feel lonely at home?

I was just wondering if anyone else feels lonely? I’ve just become a stay at home mom and my fiancé works. I just feel lonely and my friends are either at work or busy during the day. I do have my horse to go to but sometimes I just want to go the barn without my son for an escape time. I do go sometimes during the ...

Visitors

Anyone else just a bit bored of visitors now 😂 I feel awful but my baby is 7 weeks now, we are starting to get into a routine and I’m still getting messages off people wanting to visit (some I have only heard from since giving birth) Some even dictating when they are free like I’m expected to just work around…

As a Mom , who else stays away from both sides of the family?

I'm never around anyone except my Husband and our 2 pets , which is how I prefer life. I don't visit or speak to anyone on Me or Husbands side of the family. Who else stays away from everyone and just focuses on their kids and spouse ?

Rant

Does anyone get annoyed when people constantly tell them not to do things or be careful? I understand people care but I find it frustrating. Example: I’m at a small wedding and stood on a pinic bench seat to dance with friends. I was automatically shouted at to get down, it just ruins my spirit 🤔

Blended families

I feel like I'm screwing up as a mom and a bonus mom. I'm 5 and a half years into being a mom and 2 years into being a stepmom. I love my babies so much but I feel like I can't do anything correctly. I feel like I'm constantly to hard on them. They're only 5/6 but they're hard! And I'm drowning.
