no time for myself

[nicky22]

hi friends. i was wondering if anyone feel the way i do.
i am a single mother on my own and feel like i have no-one to talk to. my 2 good friends have moved away and i don't feel like i can chat to my parents the same. i need to go out and enjoy myself, but feel like i will be doing wrong!
i live with my parents and need to be back a certain time, i feel like i can't do anything.
i work and tend to spend my time with lauren. or driving visting family.
help needed, badly.

Hi nicky

I feel for you I really do, I felt very much the same after I had callum I wasn't single but due to other halfs job I lived in scotland and didn't know anybody, all I did was look after the kids and spent all my time at home ( I even looked forward to shopping in asda it was that bad).

Anyway he got posted to hampshire where we are now so things arn't as bad and I get more me time and have met some nice mates.

Don't feel guilty for wanting time to yourself we all need it every now and then, it's good for you and good for lauren as you'dve had time to relax and unwined and be happier and less stressed which she'll pick up on.

Could you do a night class in something you enjoy. this would get you out the house and meet new people that have similar interests to you.

I know still living with your parents can be restricting I have a friend in nottingham who has this same problem, is it because they look after lauren that you have to be in at a certain time? or would you have to be anyway?

feel free to pm me if you ever wanna chat, I'll help all I can.

Hi hun

You need to get out at least once a week, even if it's only for an hour, just to feel sane again. If you still live with your parents, are they understanding about it, or do you get on? Surely your Mom will understand that?

Try to get out for a walk even, and bring the buggy. Is there a mother and toddler group near you? I know that these groups don't always account for mothers who work, but it might help.

Yeah joining a mother toddler group is a good idea i joined one a few months back and my son loves it, they were alot friendler than i thought theyd be, and i made sure i said hello to 5 people a day when i was out with my son, i have moved into a new area and once you say HI to a few people the start to talk about the baby etc, now i know tons of people where i live.
