Children

Does anyone else feel alone in parenthood? I don’t see many people other than those in my household, we have family around but we don’t see them much and certainly don’t have help with our children. I’m starting to feel a little jealous of all the people who have so much help with children, those who get days/nights off to recharge. I adore my kids and I love been around them, but a night off once in a while with my other half would be nice, or even a day to get my cleaning done without a little human trashing it again right behind me 😂 just having one of those days I think. Feeling guilty for even thinking like this, it’s so much harder when your children are on the spectrum, my middle has adhd and suspected mild autism and my youngest is autistic and non verbal, I don’t have any mum friends, I have old friends but I don’t see them anymore, it’s just me and mine, my partner still sees his friends a lot and has evenings out with them , hobbies etc but I don’t have anyone to do those things with.

Hi feel free to message me i completely understand my youngest is audhd i don't see many people and like yourself it's just our family so 3 kids well 3 adults and a teenager and our 8 year old. When me and the other half have date nights when he's not at work. We always get disturbed lol. Its tough. Don't feel guilty for thinking of needing time to recharge.

That's why we decided on getting an au pair. To help out so we can get the house sorted, to babysit when we need a night out etc. Not sure if you're in a position or would consider.

Feel free to message me I have 3 kids 12 year old possible adhd and diagnosed autism, 14 year old on the pathways for autism. 16 year old adhd autism and pda My husband and I are the only support net work we have. Friend I have had in the past have all decided are family is not for them. I get it a day just to breath and get jobs done would be amazing
