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!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
Please help!
My doctor is trying to induce me before 40 weeks because she's going to be off on my due date and says my placenta is starting to look old. How do I get labor started?? I don't want to be induced for no reason and I'm thinking I won't have a choice. Please help. What do I do to get things going?
if my babies are born between now(33 weeks) and 36 weeks and I'm having a c section and they have to go to the nicu do i get time with them at all or not until i am able to go to the nicu?
I'm convinced I'm going to go into labour at any minute.....I'm having contraction but they're stopping and starting. Yesterday i was having contractions all morning then by the time I got to triage to be monitored they stopped. Now this morning I was sat having breakfast with my son and they started again. But more intense and longer lasting this time. My question is do I phone triage now or do I just wait to see what happens. I feel like I'm wasting their time always ringing etc
Feel you!
