Anyone else in this situation?

I am very happy to spend every day taking care of my baby. I love the quality time and being able to meet his every need. I am grateful to be a SAHM, but sometimes, especially after 10m, I miss working? I miss being around people every day and interacting with guests at work. I miss the creative outlet my work provided. We cannot afford for me to work, where we live daycare for my 35 hr weeks would cost about $100 less then what I would make working. So working for an extra $100 a month and spending that time away from my baby just does not make sense. It feels lonely often, and seems to be getting worse every week. It’s hard for me to connect with new moms because even though I try, I’m very awkward sometimes. Kind of like I’ve forgotten how to interact with adults after spending so much one on one time with a baby. Anyway, just curious if anyone can relate or has any advice? Thanks 🫶

Show your support

Look for some baby groups in your area ! Great way to make mom friends or and have an outing that is baby friendly ! I’m sure there like a Facebook group for mommy and baby coffee dates

Fb group and go to your local park to meet other moms. As far as a creative outlet for work. Hands on creative or digital? Because you could start your own Etsy store or digital art and sell it.

I came totally relate on this! I've been here in UK since 2021 I never had someone beside my family to talk too. It's a struggle to be honest being a stay at home mum and didn't had a chance to go outside and meet with other mums. Where are you from? Message me ☺️

Not the only one! I feel that too.

@Masha where do you find baby groups?

I felt the same way especially with living in the country with little friends and family an hour away but I put my daughter in gymnastics to help get us out and interacting with kids her age and it helps!

Same here. Miss working days, being creative, independent, praised for my good work, interacting with adults, etc,.. and I also don’t have any friends or family around. So I get what you’re going through. I try to remind myself daily that priorities shift in life, that I love being a mom and wouldn’t trade it for the world, but we’re humans and we’re allowed to have insecurities.
