@Eldrine I honestly don’t have friends.. or the ones that I do have are not close ones physically or emotionally.. I’m alone on my days off while she’s at school and he’s working. I’m spending it mostly cleaning but i am alone. I just feel so sad even though I know I’m blessed with so much…
Your feelings are valid . Do you have any hobbies ? Personally I try to carve out some time for myself . Gym . Self care . Reading a book . Treating myself to a coffee from time to time . Learning to find myself outside of being a mom and wife .
I think yes start a hobby. There, you will make friends, start seeing the same faces week after week and start meeting people and also the hobby itself, gives you something to look forward to, to learn and grow and get better at. My family alone doesn’t give me my full happiness. I get my happiness from friends and hobbies as well, I think that’s what you (and many others) are missing. Even gym. At least you get to speak to people that’s not, family. Is there anything you wanna do, learn. Gym, or the million fitness classes they offer. I wanted to dance, learn salsa and bachata and came across free lessons and have been going for 2yrs now and since then I’ve bloomed. Bingo. Poker. Trivia night. Indoor Rock climbing. Boxing. Photography group or hiking/walking group. Cycling. Surfing. Rollerblading. Netball? Heels class or pole dance. I have sisters and friends to ring and hang out with, and hobby friends that I chat to at hobby
Do you get to hang out with friends ? Do you have any alone time ? I hear similar things like this from SAHMs
