Miss my freedom

I love my daughter with all my heart, but I miss my freedom. My partner is great but my daughter wants me so much more. I miss not being able to go out for days when I want and even if I do pop out I’m always watching the clock. No one puts this on me it’s all my own doing. I just miss my old life, lie ins, being spontaneous, not having to look after anyone else. I’m also stuck in a rut and bored not knowing what to do at the weekends, I get cabin fever but going to the park/library/for walks is just getting a bit old. I sound terrible, I just thought this was going to be so much more fun than it is turning out to be.

You're not alone ! It's boring ! Life is all about doing baby things! I fully get you. I had a massive breakdown about it last weekend ! I want my old life and bank balance back, but it's not happened, so just have to accept that! It'll get easier as they get older 🙏

I miss my life before my second child, my oldest is at that age where we can do anything and everything together with no faff but now I must bring this and that or we must go after this time because of a nap or we can’t do that because of the 1 year old 🙃🙃 my oldest wants to go back to Legoland this year but how can we when I have ‘toddler’ in tow? 😓 I completely understand you! But also don’t wish to be without them 🥰🥰 As you can tell, it does get better as they get older and can do more exciting things with them! Definitely try and do so more play dates and find some good friends with children the same age. The real turning point for me with my oldest was when she hit 3, it was better at 2, but 3 was just 🥹🥰 my little bestie 😍😍

I feel the same way! Only just had my baby but I miss my old life. Does it get better?
