Single moms

I’ve just been feeling so lonely lately. I’m a single mom to a 10month old and she’s been so fussy these last few days. I can’t help but wish I had a partner to help me to take the load off of me a little bit. Even seeing other couples makes me feel so lonely. Anyone else feeling this way?

I totally went through this with my daughter I was a single mom her first 2 years of life and it definitely was exhausting. Luckily I lived with my parents and when they were off work they would help me a lot but when it was just her and I, I had to just power thru the day and look forward to each nap and bed so I could reset. 2 parent households don’t always see how lucky they are to be able to lean on each other

Yup the feeling gets much worse at night as well. Having a partner is really important but I think that the right person will come at the right time. For now I’ve just been trying to fight the loneliness but it should pass soon I hope

@Alaja the nights are definitely the worse I’m in the same boat

@Bailey I’m living with my parents as well and normally she naps great and I get my time to reset, but she’s been going through a regression and won’t nap and will fight bed time so I’m just exhausted.

@Bailey you can’t idolise two parent households because you don’t know what goes on behind closed doors the man could be abusive or a simply doesn’t lift a finger at all in the house. But of course if the man is supportive in the house it definitely takes the load off !

@Jessica yes of course I didn’t mean in general. I meant if it’s a healthy two parent household it probably helps alot! I’m just glad I have a partner who I can rely on to help out with the kids and chores as I was doing most things alone for 2 years

@Bailey yes In this case 100% makes a different !
