Lonely child

Does anyone else feel lonely when it comes to motherhood? I have one friend and my child goes to nursery twice a week but I’m worried he’s going to be a lonely child. Is anyone else in this situation?

Hey hun go to sure starts and other playgroups. Meet mums and become friends. They will be fine they won’t be lonely and neither will you x

@Shahanara I went to a mum and toddler group for about 3 months and I never made a mum friend they already had their mum clicks and I just felt awkward plus my boy just wanted me to follow him about and play he’s very attached to me so I felt like everyone was watching me and judging me so I tried it for a while then never went back

Thought the same for my kids as they're different ages. But play grounds park time classes where you can met the parents as well to plan ply dates are great for that. My daughter met her bestie at dance class, and my son met his at daycare

I was the same, then I put a random post on here and now there are 4 of us who meet up. We’ve been meeting a few weeks and I’ve finally found decent people! I found groups very clicky too

My oldest son is 3 and youngest is 6 months and my oldest doesn’t go to nursery and we’re not planning on it either and we’re planning on homeschooling but he is a very sociable boy, we go to a baby club every Monday and feel the same about it as you, people already have they’re little groups of friends and I’m socially awkward anyway and not bothered about meeting mum friends I do it more for my sons and my oldest has been going to the same baby club for nearly 3 years and he loves it and has made his own friends there and I’m finally starting to talk to another mum who has been there around the same time as me and she also hasn’t made any other friends, maybe take your son to more specialised kids clubs like dance classes or soft play and things that will help with socialisation x
