I am a SAHM to 3 DC aged 6 months, 2 1/2 and 6 years. DH works full time. I am lucky in that there aren't any major issues in our lives - i.e. everyone is healthy, we can afford to live etc.
I am not unhappy but I do feel quite low sometimes, really just because I am lonely and bored.
There are a lot of jobs to do as part of my 'job', most of which are routine and I don't get much job satisfaction from them. You probably know the sort of thing, tidying up, doing the shopping, endless washing, etc.
I do have some nice friends but many of them are back at work now and aren't always able to meet up. Sometimes the effort of getting the little ones out of the house just doesn't seem worth it anyway, and I only go out to do the school run.
So is it reasonable to feel lonely and bored or am I missing something? What should I do differently to try to enjoy my kids' childhood days more? (Apart from MN obviously! )
