We live in a really rural location. Been here 8 years.
We know most people here. One of those places everyone knows everyone.
Holidays are always difficult here as lots of people go away (usually home to visit family if incomers) or they are spending time with family.
New Years Eve we just went to bed. I know in our old home we would have had numerous places to go or folk to ask round but here it just doesnt happen easily.
I just don't know if it is the area. People are definitely more reserved and private. Or is it just a lack of 'old friends'. Pre dc friends maybe. They are definitely the group that i am most relaxed with esp with dc in tow.
Every holiday period i feel really quite lonely. Very few children around for dc to play with and it makes keeping them entertained and happy difficult and often costly.
Aibu to consider moving house and area when during term time it is mostly fine. I like my house and schools are good esp the secondary school.
Where we lived before we weren't out socialising all the time or entertaining but there was always that option and there were always people around to meet up with dc during holiday times.
Aibu? I think not only am I a bit lonely my dc are too maybe. Although I think maybe normal for kids (and healthy) to be bored some of the time (maybe not most of time though)
My friends from home were all spending nye with friends, mostly new friends they have met through dc. School friends. Maybe we are just crap company!! Although tbh I know most folk around here were away of with family.
Aibu to pack up?? (Billy no mates!)
