Because everyone says they’ll be there yo help but they only want newborn cuddles then when you’re in the trenches they don’t want to know! It is a really lonely and hard place being a mum but once you find your mum village it gets easier. With my eldest found them around 2 year olds, this time round no one but I’m sure I will at some point
@Elliott I'm beginning to doubt I'll find my village again. My youngest is nearly 8
Online village ☺️
@Elliott I need a physical village someone I can go to when feel like this. All I do is the same though day in day out. The only company my family which is getting smaller 😪😪 just need to get out the house etc. But with someone a friend. But I've always struggled 😪😪
Because, raising a child alone is not meant to be. You already have to take care of yourself and looking after another human being is a job you shouldn't do it alone, your are doing a job that 2 people should do. How not to feel lonely? I don't know, looking for that answer as well. ♥️
@Lisa I'm not raising my children alone. I've re read what I've put and can understand where the confusion is. When I said I have a small family it's my partner and 3 kids. But when he's at work it's hard as no one to talk to even if I go to our local town. We don't have much outside family. Hope that makes sense.
And I'm not good at making friends it's something I've struggled with all my life 😪
I'm.the same I feel quite like a lonely mum when my partner is at work I've got no one to speak to and I'm at home with a newborn and 7 year old xx
@Anita it's tough isn't it. I've done a big thing today which is go to a coffee morning with my eldest which was nice and managed to speak to someone (probably never see them again lol). My anxiety os higher due to feeling low so I feel I've accomplished something today.
@Hayley I've got major anxiety that is an accomplishment on your behalf I'm finding it difficult to speak to anyone really ATM face to face I just freeze up if I don't them x
@Anita anxiety sucks doesn't it. I'm exactly the same.
Nope it’s not just you.
