My husband works a mixture of short and longhaul. We have a 7 and 2 year old. Not much support localy, parents all live a good few hours away.
I'm trying my best to develope a support net work but it is hard tbh as most people don;t really want you round over the week end if their husbands are off and I tend to feel very dictated by DH's rosta- if he's around we do stuff with him, so that makes me not so reliable with friends.
DH's ad hoc roasta and lack of baby sitting means that i am somewhwt limited in my choices for going out, making arrangements etc..
Our house is a rennovation project so being at home feels awful some times, we've had lots of mice,slugs and burglars too.
I work half time. DH seems to think I'm a lady who lunches and he does nothing to help around the house as he says he far to busy with DIY.
Tips pleased. How not to get depressed and lonely?
