Village who?

I don’t know if it’s just the pregnancy hormones or what, but I have been feeling so misunderstood lately. I feel like I have no one I can truly talk to about the struggles I’m going through. I feel like no one in my life wants to be a part of raising my kids. I don’t need the help, but every memory I have as a child has my grandparents in them and it’s feeling like my kids are only going to have their mom and dad in their lives other than holidays. No one seems to have the time or energy to have anything to do with us, I spend every day cooped up in my house alone besides my husbands weekends off, when he always tries to do something with us as a family. My grandma has been going to all my appointments with me but I feel like she hates having to leave the house and go with me, it seems to really inconvenience her and I just don’t know what to do anymore. I know once I have my son it will be just like when I had my daughter, and no one came to visit me, no one invited me out, or even asked how the baby or I was doing. I’m not sure how I’m gonna get through it this time 😞

I know the feeling 😑 I've just had my second baby 8 weeks ago and not one friend had come to visit or even asked to visit. My dads only met him twice and never asks how hes doing 😢 I make the most of friends on here, it keeps me sane x

Aww I'm so sorry you're going through this. It sounds really hard. I can't relate. I don't have my village around me & it makes mothering SO much harder. I'm so grateful I found this app & I'm trying to join local groups in person to find more mum friends. My neighbour shared with me the other day that she's joined the gym so she can get childcare there whilst she takes a class & makes friends. I'm considering it myself. Maybe something that appeals to you too. The fact that you've started this message means you're taking action & open to welcoming your village. I hope they find you soon! We really do need people around us. Good luck x
