Where is my ‘village’?
Show your support
same here, only me and my partner, not a single soul to visit or even ask how we’re coping. Although, seeing how all the ‘family’ are disinterested, I’m thinking maybe it’s for the better because I wouldn’t want such unstable and artificial relations for my LO. I know we will be fine in the end, so just taking it slowly one day at a time, but it’s hard!
I feel you! It’s incredibly hard at times. Lack of sleep, back pain, trying to juggle house work. Trying to do self care and also raise a child. Would be lovely for my family to take him for a few hours but I guess they’re all busy with their own lives - its disappointing
Thank you everyone for helping me to feel like I’m not alone with this. I feel incredibly sad at how little people want to spend time with us.
Same here, just me and my husband. It's definitely exhausting not being able to have a break at all x
yep, no village here too, not even a partner to have some sort of adult interaction 😂 their loss!
Same. My village is flimsy at best because of this I don't want more kids.
It's not easy but worth it seeing our little ones grow and thrive each day 🥹❤️
Same here , only me and my partner at home and so far neither of us have had a break , apart from dad going off to work ! You’re not alone although it feels like you very much are . You’re doing an amazing job mumma keep it up 😘😘
This might sound silly, but do you ask for help? My mum is very good at letting me know she’s there if she’s wanted/ needed. But would never over step and just turn up, or ask to do specific things for us. She’s just in the background waiting to be asked.
Same here. All the promises from family members when I was pregnant and them being excited blah blah blah. The novelty soon wore off after a few baby cuddles. My son is nearly 7.5 months and I could count on one hand how often some "close" family have seen him...
