Anyone want a chat if like me, you are not out in a lovely beer garden or at a family bbq , if you're home by yourself and lonely, we can chat here

I’m home with my son and husband and still feel lonely so am cuddling my dog

I’m in (despite my username, I’m definitely not having a BBQ this weekend!)

DS has just drifted off and I’m wondering what to do with myself.

I'm half watching netflix and thinking I must get myself more of a life in the autumn, especially on a Saturday night!

I'm in by myself (live alone) but not feeling lonely. Hardly rock and roll though as I've been shredding documents. I spend a lot of time alone.

Leafusbe · 16/08/2025 21:01

I'm at home scrolling MN. Just popped by to say Hi.
The DC's are all out, DH is asleep, I wouldn't mind being at a beer garden or even a barbecue, but I'm content to be comfy at home reading what other people are saying and doing.
My cat is stretched out at the bottom of the bed, trying to keep cool under the ceiling fan.

Family barbeque? Never been to a family barbeque.

Are lots of people having family barbeques tonight then?

pinenuts75 · 16/08/2025 21:04

Yes I’m home alone, live alone, been watching dinner date 😀

Overthebow · 16/08/2025 21:06

DH is in, but we have young children who are in bed and we are too frazzled to talk. I’d love to be out at a bbq or pub.

Vallmo47 · 16/08/2025 21:08

I’m in a house with 3 others, all doing their own thing. I never considered feeling lonely when you have husband and kids but it’s very possible!

Missj25 · 16/08/2025 21:13

I’m just lying on my bed scrolling through Mumsnet, half feeling sorry for myself , got ghosted during the week ( I’ve actually put a thread up about it ) , by what turned out to be an asshole 🙈 ! ..
Ah not too down & out , to be honest I’m sure a very lucky escape 🙂..
DS1 down the sitting room watching tv , DS2 in her room playing Nintendo .DS gone picking up Chinese.
Thunder storm just over , it’s really humid ..
Wouldn’t say I’m lonely, maybe a little bored , love scrolling through Mumsnet though 😊.
Happy Saturday ladies 🙌☺️

Slap in a face mask, hair treatment and then do your nails while watching sirens, or something similarly silly!
go to sleep early listening to a meditation podcast

bliss!!!

It's a conspiracy, they all only gather to loudly have fun and cook delicious smelling food when you haven't done the Internet shop because youre too lazy and there's bugger all in the fridge

hottogo80 · 16/08/2025 21:20

Im on holiday with my family but still feel very lonely. I’m tired and hot and I am actually counting the days until we go home which sounds horrible and ungrateful and I know once I’m back I’ll wish we were back. Starting to think im unhappy in all situations 😂

SandyDunesCoffeeShack · 16/08/2025 21:22

Alone, widowed. Have some hobby gals but it's very casual.. nit intense midnight feasts and deep convo 😄

WiseFinch · 16/08/2025 21:23

Hi! Living at home while I save for deposit. DP working away as he often does, friends all scattered about the country and I am a teacher on summer holidays so quite often lonely during the week too as well as on sat nights! DParents and DBrother went out to the pub all afternoon and have returned about an hour ago. They are being sociable but I am sober and not on the right level to talk to them at the moment 🤣 Looking forward to keeping out of the way of everybody’s hangover tomorrow😩🙄

What are you half watching? I need recommendations of things I can partially pay attention to whilst I read my phone 😄

Evening everyone, I’m currently running a bath. I was supposed to go to my parents tonight but my daughter’s been unwell with Covid and he said not a chance since I gave him it last year and nearly wiped him out lol! We are texting he said he’s really lonely and missing me and he doesn’t have his kids either tonight. I’ve done all my house work this evening bins out aswell. Going to help DD organise her room tomorrow and maybe head to the shops for a couple bits. I never woke up until 10 today so won’t be sleeping anytime soon 🙈

Alwaysgotshadeson · 16/08/2025 21:37

Lay in bed next to sleeping Dd, reading posts about the happiest times being when they were babies breastfeeding etc and crying about that, I so miss those times and don’t feel like I have the same bond with her anymore. Dp out at friends, we’re going through a hard time so am feeling v lonely too, even with a small family around I feel empty a lot

Hope you’re ok, op x

Nextdoormat · 16/08/2025 21:48

Hi OP, I'm just debating going to bed. I was very rudly woken up by DD1 at 7.15am asking if I would go to hers extra early to get DGD as she wanted a sausage sandwich and could I bring her one!
She was going to her 12week scan, so obviously I did.
Very excited to get a new GC in February.
I don't do lonely as I have 4 kids 21,23,32&34. GD 7. Not a minutes peace.
Went to Salou alone for a week in July it was bliss.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend 💕
