Bored on mat leave

Does anyone ever feel bored being on maternity leave. Like I don’t necessarily want to return to work because I do enjoy the freedom of doing things on my time butttt at the same wth do I do with myself. It kinda feels like same shit different day. It’s almost like I low key feel depressed but I know I’m not. I literally only look forward to having a little drink in the evening while listening to some podcasts because else can I do with my life😩😩! Please tell I’m not the only one!

When I was on mat leave for nearly a year I took my daughter to soft play (some were free for under 1s) we went to a baby massage classes, visited the zoo, farm, aquarium, had walks around the parks, met up with mums from here and from my own friend group. Practiced baking (blueberry muffins) You just have to find things that work for you and baby xx

Honestly I felt like this on my maternity leave. I was so use to being on the go then it all suddenly slowing down did feel a bit boring. It now my son is 3 that I wish my mat leave was now. He's much more exciting to be around than when he was a newborn. Once I was in a routine even with going to classes it was just slower for me. So no your not the only one. And there is also nothing wrong with it. I love my son unconditionally. But newborns are boring! Your little one will be all go before you no it. Mix in with work. It will all change soon sadly xx
