never thought i would be affected by this but... ds1 has started going to preschool 2 mornings a week (still at nursery 2 other days). i am just finding the pick-up/ drop-off so stressful. not just the logistics of getting him and 5mo ds2 out of the house in time, but the whole business. there is the usual clique of alpha mummies, a couple of whom i know to say hello to only. another woman whose ds is friends with mine - she lives nearby and we have done a couple of play dates. she is v nice but is friends with everyone, and i feel like there will be no friendship there, just another acquaintance (of whom i have many!!)
i'm starting to feel like i'm back at secondary school, the boring/ nervous one who can't think of anything to say to anyone, trying too hard and putting everyone off. this morning i was in a terrible mood, anxious before we even set off. when we got there i realised it was 'dressing up day' - didn't know about it - just felt like crying, poor ds1 with everyone else in costume.
i felt like this constantly when ds1 was little, desperate for company/ friendship, feeling like everyone was coping so well with motherhood while i was a wreck. but i have been so much better this time round; i have friends now, and don't really 'need' new ones, so why is this affecting me so much?
sorry if this doesn't make any sense...
