How do stay at home parents get adult interaction, aren’t driven to social isolation I feel like the only people I talk to is my partner (who I don’t live with), my ex about the kids and my sister (who doesn’t live closely)
I realise I’m in a position not many get to be I’d rather be out there at work but at this moment in time it’s just not viable
I’ve always worked since I was 14 even if it was just part-time. I recently retrained in a new field and was working in the industry, but it’s a physically draining job and even though I only worked 3-4 days I was out of the house from 9am-7pm/8pm I struggled with home life and I had to let my ex-partner who is my dcs father watch them in my house (where we had previously lived together)
I have 2 dc’s both have special needs one with more needs than the other, think non verbal still in nappies needs most of her basic needs met by me but is still very active, it’s hard to leave the house with them, any time I spend outdoors is spent watching my dd like a hawk literally cannot take my eyes off her.
I quit my job, I keep thinking about getting back to work but it just seems so difficult at the moment
One reason, I don’t want to let my ex watch them in my house
But I miss that social interaction a big reason why I left the previous job was I was left on my own to get on with it.
