As a SAHM our child is so attached to me, not a big deal.. other than when I leave. Like Monday morning I had a dentist appointment and she had a full on meltdown as I was getting ready, husband said she was like that for 30 mins after I left! That’s crazy to me. I love her but I don’t want her getting upset every time I leave her, especially when her dad is with her!! So I’m starting a gym membership soon and need a gym buddy, anyone need a newbie gym buddy?😅

SAME! Do I mind he’s attached to me? Absolutely not. That’s my baby. BUT anytime anyone besides my husband walks in the house (and his great grandparents who he LOVES) my kid thinks I’m gonna leave and it’s a whole thing lol I went to a 30 minute drs appt literally right by my house. And his great grandparents watched him and he still was a wreck when I left. But they’re so sweet and they’ll always come the next day to hang out with us because they don’t want him thinking that when he sees them, I’m leaving🥹

Try looking at what classes they offer. With a gym membership usually comes with unlimited fitness classes (if the gym has rooms and is big enough and not “only” a gym) because Zumba and spin and trampoline and HIIT clases are super fun and what gives me motivation to go, as opposed to going gym whenever. People, music, and we’re all there to do the same thing and the vibe is amazing. I like getting dressed up on a Friday night to go salsa dancing as well

Maybe there’s a gym around you that has a kids club in it? Maybe she’ll like being around other kids while you workout and it’ll help. I think that’s what I’m about to do
