Feeling isolated and alone!

How is it all your family is so excited you are having a baby but once they have arrived and they have seen him they disappear no help no checking in! I am so tired of being asked to bring the baby round we want to see him! Not do you need anything can we do anything to help or just coming to my house to see him because it is easier for them to get out!

Really fed up and feeling so alone all day until my partner comes home! The only godsend is my sister who has brought me lunch and helps with baby when I am struggling has anyone else been through this or is it just me?

Pretty sure everyone does. Believe me, looking back when we didn’t have kiddos I wish I would’ve volunteered more caring for others like I wish I would’ve been cared. Lesson learned too late. Now once my baby is older, I plan to help younger couples having babies.

Unfortunately that’s the normal I feel like. People are selfish and oblivious.

I just try to look at the lack of visits and help in a positive light, thinking that it’s just extra special bonding time for you and baby. I also remind myself that it’s helping strengthen my independence and shows me that I am a badass bc I can raise a child on my own, whereas other people can’t do it alone. NOT trying to shame anyone who has all the support or say they are less than, that’s just what I have to tell myself and remind myself so I don’t get down and sad about being alone so much. It’s not the nicest thing to think, but whatever helps🤷🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

Alone time

This is probably not a big deal but I just want to share that after I put my baby to sleep, my husband also went to go to bed early so I spent my free time watching my show while eating ice cream and chips and as a stay at home mom sometimes that’s all I need. No one needed anything from me, I didn’t have anything to do, and I felt at ease knowing I was just existing…

True or false

I believe all women lose sexual interest if you disappoint them emotionally.

Life insurance

Hey all, looking at life insurance options now that I am expecting and wondering if anyone has any advice. It seems like a bit of a mindfield!

Getting turned down for jobs

Does anyone else feel like they are getting turned down for jobs because the employer is worried about you having more babies? I've had quite a few interviews lately all of which seemed to go well only to be rejected. Before having a child I found it fairly easy to get a job but am now really struggling.

Going out alone with the baby.

Does anyone else struggle to go out alone with their baby? I seem to be okay when I am with my fiancé or a family member, but alone I feel so anxious. Does anyone else get this or have gotten past it?

Send help, slowly going insane 🤪
