Help!!

This was my situation a couple weeks ago. I felt like I was in hell. After two weeks of my car being messed up and him taking his time to get my car fixed I made him go to his parents house and get one of their cars so he can drive it and I kept his car. My car just went to the car shop yesterday after being undriveable for almost 3 weeks. Hang in there girl❤️

Do you have a park nearby? Getting outside as much as possible helped me so so much. Even if it’s just going on a quick walk. Sometimes I would just baby wear if I didn’t want to get the stroller out but yeah just try to get outside

Lots of walks! And backyard activities! Hang in there girl, it’s super hard but you’ll find a way ❤️❤️

1. Waking up before the kids so that I can start the day before the kids have some me time and get a workout. 2. Make sure you are getting outside at least 2 times a week walk park lunch whatever

This is my current situation. I always try to take a walk as much as possible.

Are you able to walk anywhere? Reach any public transport? Have you got friends with cars? It’s maddening being at home all the time, cabin fever is real!

There’s the say that goes “a man may pay for the home but the women makes the home” Make your home somewhere you want to be. Start hobbies, decorating, diy crafts, cooking. And of course do the things that are great for your baby like walks, playtime, and getting them involved in your activities.

I agree with Jazmine. Make your home a space you love to be in. I'm constantly organizing, getting rid of things, and rearranging furniture to utilize my small space. For example. I hardly sit in my rocking chair. I'm going to remove it from the space and put down a yoga mat in its place for a bit and see if that inspires movement. Play with baby, go for a walk, get baby involved with maintaining the house. I bring my 3 month old into each room and kitchen and explain what I'm doing. When she's sleeping, I do admin for my business, finish what I was organizing, or some other thing I can't do while she's awake.

My mom came over a lot. Sometimes I could just take her car and she'd stay at my place or she'd pick me/kids up and go somewhere.

I had this for a while when we lived in the middle of nowhere with only one car. I hated it. Got another car but I know that’s not always possible. Something we used to do is I would give him a lift to work so I could keep the car. Don’t necessarily have to do it every day but if you want to have a day or two a week where you can go out and about it makes a big difference. We didn’t have kids at the time though so I appreciate that might not be so easy with a baby

go on walks! if there’s a park nearby get outside. the fresh air helps immensely and if you have friends around who are free have them over! its getting colder so getting outside may be harder but keeping your social life active is definitely helpful in decreasing the isolation. do you have people who can help w baby so maybe you can get out with a friend? hoping it gets better i know its a tough situation

This is currently my situation too and I’m losing my mind. I get so much anxiety anticipating each day knowing I’m stuck.

I couldn’t do it. I’d go crazy. Despite walks, parks, getting together with neighbors and having people come over I’m just one that has to get out every day. I think it really helps my daughter in her development as well. I would look into getting a job even if it was temporary to afford a 2nd vehicle, insurance, etc. if that was absolutely not an option I’d drive and pick up hubby to/from work. Maybe he can arrange something with a coworker to carpool some days or something along those lines or Uber.

My car was in the shop & my husband had to go to work in he’s, I felt stuck. So I just started walking. Helped get active & my daughter see the world.

Outside! In our previous home we were walking distance from grocery store, petco, park, Ross, and hardware store. I would literally walk the baby to the grocery store and park everyday. Then go for a neighborhood walk with my son’s push toy. Outdoor arts and crafts/messy stuff you gotta use the hose for is fun too.

Girl people have been living long before cars were invented 😭not to be rude but u can walk or catch bus u really dont have to stay inside all the time...
