Comparing
Idk why but I keep comparing myself to my SIL. We both got married and had kids within two months of each other. She announced her pregnancy a week after us which was hard as I had a miscarriage the year before and felt like our moment was taken in a way. Which I know probably sounds selfish. My MIL babysits my niece so she can do a dance class but when she comes to our place I end up having to hang out with her all day while my husband and his dad work on house projects. She’s always going away on weekends and goes to a bar Friday nights since she’s a SAHM and her husband works a lot. I work full time, have my own business and no friends, so I just feel like lifeless right now. I am happy but bored I guess and looking for ways to make myself happier.

@Sophie thank you! I need to get out and do something for myself.
I'm in the same boat my first year of mat I loved it but it wasn't what I thought then a year later I went back to work 38hours and now I crave a sahm life 😅 but I now plan a outings just for me
@Monica I would rather work than SAH, my jobs so easy and remote 3 days. I think I just need to find a hobby lol
Your so lucky and hobby sounds like a good idea
I think these issues tend to surface more and more when we don’t feel fulfilled like you’ve maybe noticed. It’s really hard when you work full time and no doubt your sister in law probably envies your business and adult life too. See if there’s any room for stuff you like to do and maybe some social connections too and see if it makes a difference.
