So I'm a single momma and my sons dad isn't in his life at all and never has been. I recently started working again but only 3 to 4 days a week. The only time i get to myself is going to the bathroom or going to work for a few hours. But even doing Those things are a struggle because my mom watches my son and she gets very overwhelmed. I feel like i have no social life, i feel alone. I have tons of "friends" but a good handful of them don't ever talk to me or ask how i am unless they're trying to get me to go out and drink and do dumb things. It frustrates me because I'm not that person anymore. My son is my life and that's all i have time for. But sometimes i wanna go have a drink and dance and socialize. Im tired of being stuck at home all the time 😒 i love my son to death and would do Absolutely anything for him but I really could use a night out, just for a few hours 😔
@socialmommy yes i don't want to get drunk!! I just want a few beers and a second to relax but its not even possible.
Yessss mama! It gets so easy to let these fears and anxiety hold us back but you've got this! I hope you get out and relax ☺
@kambam thats what we really need. Because even he gets frustrated being home all the time when in reality i should be taking him out and letting him explore. Thank you so much
Maybe think of something you can do with your son to get away and relax a little but also not stress over leaving him. Beach? Museum? Maybe you have someone close you can take a little staycation and rent a cheap room and a few activities somewhere. Sometimes you just gotta pack up and go on an adventure.
@kambam thank you! Ive just really been depressed and stressed out lately.
That's my life but i literally do everything with my son, including work! So not much alone time. I stopped waiting for people to care or ask me out. I go out with my son and just have a good time. And if friends can meet for drinks I just take him with because life is too short lol. Once he's 1yr I think you'll have a little more freedom. Hang in there!
Feel you!
