27, 3yo and 1yo. And I am married. Come from very small family. Not really any friends. Wfh full time so no colleague face to face expsoure
I’d say I am a bit lonely. I am chasing a full happy family which I have with my kids but I do feel disconnected from DH. We’re working on it it just got rough when we had our 2 quite close but since baby 2 I have felt well. Completely alone not just lonely
i struggle socially though. I find myself chatting a lot when out and about like small talk with people at the Next cashier till for example or the nursery staff at pick up drop off etc
my day usually goes wake , kids to nursery, work, pick kids up, bedtime routine and I stay in
days with the kids (non working) up get ready etc out (park/play centre/library/errands) and then home chill before bedtime etc
Days off work are tailored to the kids of course
when I say I struggle I think I struggle a normal
level of social ness ? I think I’m an oversharer. I don’t have much in common with my
Small family and they verge on controlling so I sit back
I want a big full happy family when I see people with this I feel a bit like aw i want that
i do want friends but my only friend is a bit sick of me I’m quite flakey with the kids it’s hard to arrange going out with them and when someone doesn’t have kids trying to understand kids and going out with them etc is hard
Maybe I’ll feel
better after me and DH get closer again
but idk. Any tips to feel more satisfied socially?
