Feeling sad

Tomorrow is Halloween. I have a costume for my baby but we have nothing going on. My husband works all day and it’s just me and the baby. I didn’t buy any candy to give out and it’s suppose to be super warm tomorrow. I don’t want to walk around alone and just feeling sad. Feeling guilty too for not getting any candy to give out. I was going to ask a friend if I can tag along while she tricks or treats with her kids but then my husband was upset because he can’t be with us so then I feel bad going without him. So I haven’t asked. Anyone just hides from the trick or treaters. I usually have candy all the other years. But now with the baby and the dogs I just felt overwhelmed and now sad.

Baby will probably love passing candy out! It will be a big peekaboo and trick or treaters will love seeing your baby - go get some and enjoy your time! :) take the pics for yourself too in the costume

Instacart some candy. I think if you click delivery tomorrow it’s free shipping or a reduced cost

Seems like general depression or maybe postpartum more than situational since you could now buy candy and make a time of it since you said you enjoy that. Things feel way more overwhelming with a baby. I feel like your husband shouldn't be weird about you wanting to take your baby trick or treating just because he has to work..I would talk to him about that and how lonely and sad you'll feel cooped up when you could bring your baby out to have a good time and lift your spirits. You'll also probably get cute pics and memories of baby's first holloween. I've had to do a lot without my husband. It's not ideal but so much better than being lonely and depressed. I hope you can find it in you to take charge and turn it around and have a good time!
