A bit miserable

Driving is really more of a mental thing. Like I’m actually pretty good at driving I just don’t drive enough for me to feel comfortable. Just make sure you know your stuff for the knowledge part of the test especially the signs. And when you practice just take your time and you definitely need a calm person in the car while you’re practicing or else it’ll make you more nervous
@Fay thank you I will definitely keep that in mind!
@Fay I hope you’re able to find a different part time job you like after the baby comes if staying at home isn’t for you either. I might consider getting a part time job honestly. I’m just hoping I’ll have consistent support to watch her but my grandma does live nearby thankfully. Driving school was a waste of money for me too. They only gave me two days of lessons then told me go practice on my own as if I didn’t come there for the purpose of learning and getting my hours in 🤦🏾♀️
That’s what they did to me! Only practiced for like 3 days and then the last day was bs because I had a different teacher and she was very pushy she kept telling me to speed up but I was driving slow cause she didn’t know where she wanted me to go. I honestly hope I can find a work from home job the baby ain’t even here yet and I don’t wanna leave her already lol but I know I’ll lose my mind if I’m stuck in the house all day as well. So if I do get work from home job definitely need a car
I recommend getting into a hobby like reading or painting
@Fay the teacher I had sucked too. More criticism than advice. I wanna look into wfh as well! Would you wanna dm?
Audible made the transition back to reading easier for me. Listening while out for a walk, building nursery items, or doing yoga. Kept my mind occupied so I was able to avoid doom scrolling
You defintely won't be bored when the baby comes. In fact, might feel the opposite. But I get it. I'm 16 weeks with baby #2 and have a 2 year old. We just moved cross country, and with my health issues, we decided it was best I quit my job and become a SAHM. But I have no idea what to do not working or earning my own money. We moved and ended up in such a hectic situation, I'm stressed, anxious, depressed and feeling useless as hell because I am not allowed to lift, or use chemicals, etc. All I can do is make sure my son stays healthy and happy.
I was in a similar situation when I was pregnant with my first. Things were less boring when baby was born, I was busier. Eventually when she was a 3 I got my drivers license, like 24 I think I was. I had a ton of anxiety but eventually figured it out and came around to love driving ! You’ll do great when that time comes. If you ever wanna chat just message, I know how lonely it can be not being able to drive or socialize because partner is sleeping/gone for work.
The cooped up feeling never goes away you just gotta find things to fill your time if you need anyone to talk too feel free to message me I’m a stay at home mom and it does get lonely also you will never have time when the baby is born so ENJOY IT
Yeah that’s my situation kinda. I work currently but it’s only a few days here and there and I want to find a different job but there’s no need because if I leave I can’t get maternity leave. And I honestly don’t know if I want to go back after maternity leave is over just because the job isn’t all that. I wanna be a stay at home mom but I don’t want to be cooped up all the time either. I took my learners so I have a permit I just have no license. I took driving school but feel like it was a waste of money for real so I plan on getting my own car during tax time so I can practice in my own car
