Feeling lonely
I ventured out to a soft play with my daughter today and it was full of mums in their own little groups. I felt like a real outsider. Whenever my daughter approached the other babies it was as if a lion had just entered. I almost felt like my daughter couldn't play with the others because her mum wasn't part of the group.
I wanted to have the confidence to ask to join however the feeling of being judged put me off.
I always feel super lonely coming to these places as I always seem to be the only mum on her own. I would love to meet others and go together however ive tried arranging plans with other mums before on this app and they've made plans but never shown.
Is it just me or do others feel this way ?

I took my little girl to soft play today too for the first time on my own and I also felt like this but I am also quite an awkward person though so I find it hard to mingle with other mums if the option was ever there 🤦🏽♀️
Hi lovely , I don’t live far . I have a little boy who’s 15 months and a little girl who is 5 months . Happy to look at meeting up . If you want to message me xxx
I feel the same way sometimes, we’ve been going to Tree babies which I think massively helped me feel a little bit more confident taking my daughter out by myself. Making mum friends is so difficult when it seems everyone else already has their own friends, my dm is always open if you want to chat or arrange a coffee or anything x
I dont live in Doncaster anymore I live in Howden but id be more than happy to meet up with your and your little one if you wanted!! My little boy is almost 4 but he is happy playing with any kids any age as long as he can play😆 feel free to get in touch if you want to and we can sort something! Xx
