Before we had children my husband was my buddy - we hung out together going to the cinema, walks, weekends away etc but had our own interests too. My work colleagues were mixed gender but I enjoyed bantering with the men and having a laugh.
Now my eldest is four. I touch base with dh for a little while each day but time at home revolves so much around the children until they're in bed and we are too tired to do much more than fall asleep. He always has somewhere more important to go like work, football matches, darts, seeing his parents (all understandable) but I miss him and being a priority to him.
I have gone back to work after being sahm but I work in a nursery surrounded by female colleagues. They're all lovely but I find myself a little bored talking about recipes, diets and blokes they fancy on the telly. The people I meet up with are my mum, my mil and sometimes other mums and we always talk about the kids. I'm very blessed to have these women in my life but Aibu to crave male company? Does anyone else feel that their life has become overwhelming feminised since becoming a mum?
