All of my family is in Upstate NY. I live in Illinois. I moved here in September and my 6 month old was born the first week of November. Some of my husband's family is in Iowa. The rest is in Upstate NY and Tennessee. It's really lonely not having anyone.
Love my family to death but they really aren’t as much help as they made it sound like they were going to. But I also kind of get it cause my baby is a complete mommas boy and freaks tf out if I leave him for more than 15 minutes
I have a 4yr old and a 7m old & I don’t have anyone to help. If there’s anything important I wait for my husband to have days off to schedule my things… if it’s super important I have to ask my mom or in law to really help me out and clear their schedules or also get requests for a day off from work…
I have three kids my oldest is seven my youngest is six months with no support whatsoever. My husband and I make it work. He works long hours. I stay home and Homeschool. Days can be long and rough sometimes and other times they’re short and very beautiful either way I’m thankful for my husband and his brother is closer. Not having a village can be rough sometimes but the end of the day I’m happy my kids are surrounded by people that are good instead of just a multitude of people that help sometimes and are not good quality.
Yes, I’m a FTM. My husband’s family lives 20 minutes away but his mom is jealous of me so it’s just us 3 allllll day long, so weekdays and weekends. I have to go to visit my family in TX to receive a VILLAGE ☹️
Yes, same here. My husband also travels a lot, so is always me and my baby, now I ask him to pay to a night nanny to help me
Yes, me too. I’m so sorry
I have a 2.5 year old and 6 month old. My husbands in the military and we literally have nobody. I'm a stay at home mom now and it's really hard because i feel like im stuck inside. We have family that lived close by before and literally none of them met either of my kids and they lived 30 minutes away. They ignored our invites to my son's second birthday. It breaks my heart for them.
