Honestly feel like ever since I became a mother I'm slowly losing who I use to be. Since I'm a stay at home mom, and we only have 1 car, I dont get to go out at all. I dont have any friends here since I moved 6 hours away from my hometown. I have no family here. With my husband working 12 hour days, sometimes I want an another adult to talk to. It makes me feel horrible. Like I'm failing, as a mother and wife. I also feel like im failing myself. I never have time to take care of me. My hair is always a mess, never have time to do my makeup, or even do a simple 30 minute workout. I'm sorry this is so long and all over the place. I have been holding all this in for the past 2 years.

@miranda9696, oh I assumed you were in Pasadena, California. Since it’s such a family friendly city I didn’t think it’d be unsafe to walk around with kids in a stroller.
@kmsespy no I dont have any family close by. They all live 6 hours away. The thing about hire a sitter, is that it doesnt really do much if I have no transportation.
@flamingomom I can but wouldnt have a car and the library would be close by the time my husband gets home. It's not really safe to walking around, especially me being alone with 2 small kids.
Do you live close to family?
It sounds like you just need a friend and a night to regain your sense of self.
It’s time for some you time and it definitely doesn’t mean you’re failing as a mother or as a wife, not at all -it’s true that routine can often times close up our social interaction.
I’d get a baby sitter or family member and see about finding some basic social interaction anywhere even just at your local library alone ^ or with your kids at the park.
Could you check your local library for kids activities? That way you could get out of the house and socialize with mommies while your kids socialize with other kids. Or just walking to the park and exploring. I’m sorry you feel this way
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...

Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
@flamingomom no I live in pasadena tx, and i live on a busy street. And there's always homeless people walking around. It just makes me kinda uncomfortable
