@Elizabeth he helps out, don’t get me wrong. His job is quite busy so I do understand, just all gets too much. He reassured me he’s going to wfh as much as possible which is great news. With the baby classes, I’ve seen a few yes. I wasn’t sure how effective they’d be for meeting people but i’ll definitely give them a go. Thank you 😊 xx
Do you have friends who aren't local you can chat too over texts etc who've had babies too? This keeps me sane throughout the day when I don't see anyone. How old is your little one? I felt very much like this for the first 4 months, now shes a little older I feel less lonely as we have more interaction and fun together, I know it's not the same as having an adult to chat to though Definitely tell your husband how you are feeling and ask for more support
@Yasmin brand new little one! Unfortunately, none of my friends have had babies. I’m a young mum so they’re all at uni or starting their careers. My friend here just got married so I’m just waiting for her to come home, but it’s lonely only having 2 people around me really. Feel like i’m annoying people when I call them up as well 😅
Aww it's so lonely at the start, it's very isolating as even if you have people to talk they rarely understand or even remember what it's like themselves if they do have more grown up kids. I recommend getting out with pram as much as possible and going into shops etc to make sure you are getting that interaction with other humans and then trying to get to a group if you can 🩷
I think you certainly need to have a word with your husband about taking the weekends off to help you out with the baby - it's his baby too. Regarding loneliness, are there any classes in your local area you can take your baby to? They're a great way to meet other Mums x
