It’s very isolating and boring! I have friends visit or go visit my step mom. Getting out made the day feel less slow
It is a bit lonely. I try to go outside whenever the weather looks nice. Grab a coffee chat with the barista. Have some adult conversations other than singing kid songs. Reading helps too. My best friend stops by one day out of every week and my mother stops by every other week. Having company always makes the days go faster. when my mother stops by I can get 20 chores done while she entertains my daughter.
I have a 2.5 year old and a 2 month old. I just got a gym membership and have been going when my husband gets home from work!
I have a 2.5 month old and have been going out a few times a week to library story times, walks at the park, etc. Found a few moms on Facebook groups with babies about the same age so I invite them out and we meet up for coffee and such too. I’d recommend finding some local mom groups and finding moms that are going through the same things as you. My first baby is now 10 years old, but I have some great mom friends and the kids grew up together. I’m hoping to do the same this time around!
I have 3 kids, one in school, two at home. My toddler keeps me soooo busy. But when I just had my first as a baby, I tried to keep to a routine. Reach out, make mama friends. Go to the library. You have to get out and about I’ve found, that helps a ton!
My husband goes back on the 16th and I’m going to miss him being around anytime I want / need him during the day 🤣 lol
it is in fact super isolating. just here in solidarity. my mom comes over and so does one of my friends! just a little change in pace.
