AIBU to get the next flight out of here....

[ilovemyelectricblanket]

Honestly.
Home alone with a bottle of wine again.
SO BORED.
I never go anywhere, do anything.

Ive spent all day cleaning, picked the kids up from school, hub is at the cricket and Im stuck in.
Im seriously considering packing a bag and flying out to the sunshine for the weekend.
Ill come back .... just want a change of scenery.

I wish you luck in your job search OP and IDug. Completely agree it is the antidote to boredom and makes you appreciate your time alot more. I have been working pt since I had DD and even with that I sometimes get bored on my days off. Having said that while she is still at school I am determined to be around for her after school on at least some days.

You say you don't have hobbies (nor do I) but is there any exercise you could do - running/swimming/netball/whatever? It will get you out of the house - and something you could get obsessed about, something that could give you a purpose.

And talk to your DH. Really, properly talk - in words of one syllable if you have to. You sound seriously unhappy, and you imply he doesn't get it - he needs to.

First World problem of the week. Yawn!

YABU

Some things you could try..?

Dance classes
Meditation
Comedy
Something you could get really passionate about?
Do a weekend self development course? ( there's loads about...)
Get friends round
Check out 'Meet up' groups in your area.

Do something! Life's short...

Good luck, I'm not a mum but can still identify with the sheer tedium of life sometimes.

Pm me if you are interested in self development courses, I've done some really amazing ones!

how about....just thinking....how about setting up a business online?
you could set up a cleaning business, one client, then two, then three...it could become massive...
or even just a few clients each week...
it'll fit in with school runs/childcare etc...
just a thought

I know I need a job. But what job that allows me to still collect the kids.

Any jobs going in local schools?

Volunteer work?

I feel tied to the house because it constantly needs cleaning/tidying

It really doesn't, you know. No-one will die if the house isn't cleaned every day or is a bit untidy. And you can get the rest of the family to tidy also.

what area of south east are you.
just wanted to say, my dd established a cleaning business 5 years ago, and hasn't looked back.
worth thinking about

Yanbu op-I feel very similiar at the moment and think I am heading into a classic mid life crisis.

My marriage is shit,I hate our house,I am not a good parent because I am so angry and resentful all the time. I love going out as its get me out of the horrible house and away from dh but sadly my friends are a boring bunch who seem happy to just stay in with their families all the time.

YANBU, I feel somewhat the same. I am looking into a (another, to replace, not add to) part time job. I feel VERY stymied because there is no school bus for dc and what job is going to let me leave at 3:00 to collect them.

But I have to keep trying. The sheer tedium is enough to make one mental. My dh also knows this. His own career concerns are far more important to him. He hears but does not listen. Can we say self centered? Yet, I cannot change him so I have to change my own situation.

People (mums) i know who successfully combine job and kids, start with the job then fit the kids around their job rather than the other way around.

If you limit yourself to term timd jobs between 9-3:30 there is not much choice.

Once you have the job, you can find child minder/baby sitter of share child care with other workjng parents, do vlubs in the holidays etc.

Fit kids around job, not job around kids...

Or make being a sahm more fun !

If any of you are in the South Yorkshire area please let me know. It would be great to meet up with people in the same situation as me

It's taken e ages to find a good trustworthy cleaner, I pay about £10 per hour. Might be a way of earning some money and getting you out. :)
