Lonely

Does anyone feel like motherhood is so busy but still can feel Lonely? I don’t have my spark back yet 2 years on, as I fully put all my effort and love into my LO which is very normal, but is it just me or does anyone get jealous of these mums that are able to spend time doing their make up? Looking so fresh every day 🤣 I have lots of support but also like being in control/ setting up my own business also and have been doing it since July last year. I just still feel like I’m trying to find my feet, I know life won’t ever be the same as before kids. I got my nails done today first time in forever , but I just struggle as my LO always has the best and I look like Hagrid everyday 🤣 anyone else relate?

Oh yes! I feel like in some ways my LO is striving and I am absolutely not. I sometimes am still out in my PJs… I do miss myself pre kids

The only thing I manage to do is my nails, I get them done every 3 weeks and other than that I look like a full potato. I live in leggings and jumpers, hair stays up in a clip, no makeup. It is hard. I also feel lonely, I don’t have friends really, partner and family all work a lot. I just keep reminding myself this isn’t forever. It isn’t my time at the minute, but it’ll come back. Hopefully.

Totally relate. I don’t have many friends locally, it’s hard to meet up with people in other cities, most friends don’t have children or appreciate my reduced income. I do make time to make myself semi presentable but limited time for self care. Making friends new friends is hard. I work 4 days per week, I never managed to click with anyone when on mat leave despite trying multiple baby groups
