I can really relate - I don’t live near family, am relatively new to the area I live in with most friends being in different cities, and my bf works crazy hours. I haven’t had an evening away from her since she was born yet (she’s 7 months). Sometimes it’s really tough! In case it’s something you’d consider - I’ve recently decided to get a babysitter for the odd evening. I looked for ages until I found someone with lots of recommendations, experience and qualifications to put my mind at rest, and she’s going to slowly get to know my babe & her bedtime routine before having her for the evening. Hope you find something / someone that helps you get a bit of time to yourself 💛
Get a really good circle of friends you can trust and who help you with out judgement. Xxx
