Hi anyone who will listen,
I'm 27 weeks pregnant with baby no 2. I have a 2 year old little girl. I'm a sahm and married. Sounds perfect right??? I'm just so so lonely. My husband works away a lot and long hours and we have just moved to a new area. I feel like I have no friends and although I'm nearer family my mother is very hard work and doesn't take much interest in us. I'm so blessed to be able to sah, but I feel no one really cares about us. My little girl doesn't have any doting grandparents that love her and care for her it makes me so sad! It's just long days of doing the same thing. I feel so down and sad. Then I feel guilty for feeling this way? My daughter deserves better! Any advise would be much appreciated x

Oh you're not alone! You're in very good company here Cake Brew

It really is something a lot go through...those lonely early years are coated with snot, boredom and rusk crumbs and they seem endless but they DO end and when they do...when your DC go to school, life does start to come back again.

You do sound down though....don't worry about the lack of doting Grandparents. Many kids don't have that...many don't even have two parents. Your children do....do you have any hobbies? Do you get out to any groups at all?

Thank you so much! I feel so bad moaning but really don't have anyone to talk to! I don't want to moan to my husband in the little time we have together. I feel like I constantly need to hold it together but sometimes would love someone to just help!! I guess the grandparent topic is a sore one as both sides of the family don't really support us, it really is us on our own.
We have started going to a few nice groups now which has helped. We tried a few and I wasn't made to feel very welcome so that didn't help.

I don't want to wish their precious childhoods away but sometimes I feel I'm going slightly mad. How will I be with 2?!?!

Xx
