I feel like a failure

I don’t get out of the house. I have an almost two year old. And a two month old. And we are home 99.9% of the time. Unless we go grab groceries which is usually just a pick up. And occasionally when their dad is home, we go to the park for an hour or so. But mostly we just sit at home. In this damn living room. We play in the yard once or twice a day. But other than that we’re just inside. In the living room. Some people have told me it’s fine. My oldest is content and I’m caring for the baby too. But you know our society. I see moms on social media ripping and running and doing all kinds of fun outings with their mom friends and other kids. We’re military. I don’t know a single soul in this entire state. No one. NO ONE. And we’re moving again this summer so I don’t even wanna bother making friends. It’s just always sad to leave them. Idk I’m just venting i guess. I just want my daughter to have a happy fulfilling life. And right now I feel like I’m not giving her that.

I woke up with this same feeling this morning. And I just want to cry. Like am I Not doing enough. Should I go get a job. Like we only have one car rn a that what my husband use for work so i really can’t go anywhere. So i wait for the weekend for him to be off just for him to say he’s tired so i just stay in . For weeks at a time im home not even the back yard beits freezing outside. An to put the cherry on top i have no friends either lol 😂

Same. I've got a 2.5 and a 10 month old, and it's so hard to get out of the house with just me. My in-laws and I have Life360 (my husband and I already had it), and my MIL texted me yesterday and said I'd been home for 4 days, so I needed to get out today even if it was just for a drive, lol

girl same i’m a stay at home mom and i have no family nor friends in this state (other than my mother and brother) if it wasn’t for them im not sure what i would do. i’ve tried to be more open and approach people first but i just can’t seem to relate to anyone enough to become actual friends ig so don’t feel like a failure because there are plenty more people who are just like you🤍

If it makes you feel any better my twins are 22m and I have only taken them out by myself ONCE when they were 14m old. The only time we leave the house is if my fiance is down to go to a park that day or if we to visit my mom and let them run her big back yard 🙃

I have an 8 month old and am the same and no excuse of the military on my side. You are not alone.

@Sierra so did she take you 4 a drive ?? Lol bc if she’s gonna out her 2cents..

@Chantoi do you drive ??

If you can drive, just have your man give you money & take yourself out w your kids! Even though it’s cold, there’s indoor amusement parks, indoor malls! Get a snack! Anything! But go live! 🫶🏼🩷 push yourself! Your kids will benefit from having a happy mommy that takes care of herself!🥹💕

@Monica no lol she didn't. She still works, and everybody's been sick in the house, too. I have great in-laws, actually

I have been feeling awful recently. I have a 1yo and I’m 27 weeks pregnant (still feeling so sick all the time), also don’t have a car so I have to wait for my husband to be home to go to the store 5 min away, I don’t have family or friends in this country, I feel stuck in the house, don’t even have energy to get out of my pajamas
