My husband works a lot so isn’t home until late and often busy on weekends. I have a 2 almost 3 y/o DS and am 8 weeks pregnant with my second.
I am no longer working - not because we have the luxury of not needing to but because I worked in the hospitality industry and lost my job. I could get another job but my husband is too busy really and the pay from my industry is so low that it’s not worth paying for childcare.
So I find myself at home all day just waiting for the day to end. I feel guilty that my toddler isn’t getting any stimulation and I’m bad at playing with him. But I feel so tired and depressed that I don’t know what to do.
There’s nowhere to go and nothing to do especially in the rain. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can keep my DS happy?! What is everyone doing?!
I’m sorry this sounds like a big rant but I’m just feeling a bit desperate today.
