Wish I had my life back 😕

I love my baby don’t get me wrong but I really miss my old life. Now I didn’t get out much but now I wish I did. I wish I accomplished stuff and went travelling! I wish I went out with my friends more and damnit I miss my old body ☹️ this is just to vent but please can somebody tell me it gets better. I feel like my life has become so dull. I love my baby so much, truly, but I feel so bored and as if my life is on repeat. I see things like people going to festivals and stuff and I am so envious! 😞 even having a day to yourself and being able to solo travel. I kick myself like, why didn’t I do that!
How do you tackle this? People say, life doesn’t change, you just involve your kids in it but I don’t feel that and/or struggle comprehending it. Anyone else?

Bring the baby with you, live your life with your baby. Having a baby doesn’t mean you’re confined to the house. Get that baby some headphone and a carrier and bring that baby to a festival

How old is your child? I have an 8 week old and I feel the same. I've felt that way since my pregnancy really, from what I've heard it does get better but I think we have to ride the feeling out. I've had my baby at 19, which I don't regret at all I love him to bits but I see my friends living their lives so vicariously and I am filled with jealousy. I think the way to think about it is that in a few years your life will be drastically different and you wont feel this way. I know it's no help but you aren't alone, most mothers I've spoken to also feel this way x

I don’t have advice as I’m going through the same thing but I just wanna let you know you’re not alone ❤️

Anyone?

I’m looking for a friend who understands Mom life in life with a kid. I realized a couple weeks ago that I don’t have anyone other than my fiancé. And I want a friend or friends that I can become super close to and possibly even my best friend. I’m getting married next year and the lady who’s my maid of honor doesn’t even consider me her best friend.. I’m open to FaceTime me and getting coffee together and meeting up and having play dates. Someone to cry with, laugh with, watch funny and scary movies with, and have inside jokes with. (Picture so post doesn’t get lost)

Wifey friends?

I’m 25 and I just recently had my son Kiah in July and I’ve never been “friendly” in a way like I made friends in stores because I’m funny or something but I’m in a new era of my life and I’m looking for some friends that are wives.

Looking for friends

Hey looking for Christian woman friendships. Someone to pray with. Someone to read Bible plans together. Someone to help lift each other up with positivity. A friend that stands by you good or bad. Don't just ghost you. Comment or reach out.
