Hopeless
I’m a mom of 2 years old and pregnant with second. I’m sad 😔 only thinking of not being able to do things I would love to. I want to travel. Go out. Have friends (I have none) I feel sad seeing my husband being able to go out with his friends. I have to ask him to take me even for groceries! When will I live life I want to 😢 is it early to have kids? Ohh I’m overwhelmed

Girl same, I feel like I'm badgering my husband sometimes, been jealous of his friend group too! It'll get better, maybe reach out to some old school friends, the worst they'll do is say no or ghost you, but at least you tried. Do you live somewhere kind of remote? Xxx
There is a way to live life fulfilled with kids, get out, meet other mums, sign up to a class without kids. It’s not your responsibility to be the default parent, and you deserve to get a break! Set aside times for yourself and make actual “appointments” or go to stuff that is scheduled so that you kind of “have to go” even when doubt creeps in :) your husband can look after your child. When the second baby arrives self care usually has to take a back seat for a little while but the earlier you start to make plans, the easier it will get :)
