Sorry if this is not the right board, but I'd really like to know if I need to give myself a wobble or if what I'm saying is relatable.
I'm a sahm to my 18 month old toddler. We go for a walk every day, to the beach or park and attend a local play group once a week.
I am the only mum out of our friendship group who didn't return to work (we couldn't afford childcare) I feel awful for saying this, as I understand how lucky I am to be at home but I'm so lonely.
Me and my husband car share, I use it once a week so me and my son make a day of it. I normally plan to catch up with a friend that day too, however this week two friends have cancelled on us and it made me realise how lonely I am. I won't have a conversation with someone I actually know until my husband comes home.
It sounds sad but I was so looking forward to our day out tomorrow and catching up with a friendly face, obviously il still take my son but again it will be me and him. I worry that he's missing out as we're just surrounded by girls.
I try to make new friends at groups but my son has hit the climbing on everything stage so I literally say one or two words and I'm off chasing him.
Am I being dramatic??
