Feeling Isolated as a Mom

I felt the same way and still do sometimes. Pour yourself into your hobbies if to can (i know that's hard with a little one)

Feels like I could have written this myself! Past 3 weeks felt like this for me, and no matter how much my husband helps when he gets home I still feel lonely and isolated. Ask him to take baby for a day so you can see your family and friends! Its very helpful!

If you can’t go anywhere during the day try public transport to get out to local places, sometimes we train it “for fun” coz my son finds it a novelty, esp going into the city where parking is gonna cost me like $50, or if you’re having a playdate try asking the mum for a lift. I don’t mind picking up my mum friends sometimes, even if she has a car sometimes it’s just easier for her to pick me up or me pick her up esp if one of us is going past that way anyway. Parking can be a bitch w 2 cars depending where we’re going so yeah sometimes we carpool. Or else wait till hubby gets home and take the car to the gym, fitness class, or a friends house ….that way you can eacape for a couple hrs and breathe. Sometimes I do a 11pm Kmart run 😅 (mines 24/7) and get home at like 2am just taking my sweet ass time lol.
