Struggling

So I am just here looking for tips and tricks anyone has. So I'm a stay at home, homeschooling mom of 3 boys who are 9, 7, and 4. My husband switched jobs and now is gone 12 hours a day for work. It is really hard for me mentally because I am so lonely. I don't have any friends, if I were to just have even 1 friend would that help with? What are tips and tricks you guys have that could help improve this? I guess maybe it's not too much mentally, but I'm just so lonely. Just asking for some advice.

Hi! Im also a sahm to 3 boys who are 5, 3, 16 months. Look around for local homeschooling groups on Facebook and look for co-ops! Gets you and your boys out of the house and socializing!
It gets so lonely being a sahm, feel free to send me a message if you want!

I feel you Queen. In a very similar situation but I have 2 and they are 2 and 5. I used to feel that deep loneliness in a new state and no support physically or emotionally. I feel like I took the same approach I did during pregnancy, when things are outside of my control I tune in to protect the life inside of me. In this space I found a different approach to parenting and schooling that created space for me to create and teach authentically through my joys. We have incorporated baking from scratch and more art because that’s what mommy enjoys ☺️ these days feel a little more like just hanging out with my besties who also enjoy what I enjoy. I teach them some independence and cleaning after themselves especially when I am here solo parenting. I used to have that major need for company but I now find it can be very distracting for maintaining inner peace. The lonely longing was looking for distractions, personally. I think we as women forget our joys being in the role of sahm sometimes
