...ds2 is now almost 3 but I've got 2 more years till he starts school as he is a September baby. I used to enjoy being a SAHM, loved the freedom, time with my babies, being my own boss (lol), even got into baking. 6 years on and I can't remember the last time I baked a cake, cooking dinners is a chore, only do housework where essential, I am bored out of my head, terribly lonely, and have spent the last two days crying. All I want to do is surf the internet for holidays and ebay for kids clothes while ds2 sits in front of the telly and I know its wrong. I really have tied over the past 6 years to attend baby classes, playgroups etc, but just got fed up of trying to enter the cliques and make conversation with people. I did manage to make some friends when ds1 was a preschooler but lost these when our kids started school (separate schools). Ds2 has no friends and neither do I, we just wait for ds1 to come home every day.
Last month we were due to go overseas for a year with dh's job so I cancelled ds2's pre-school place and we spent months preparing. Then it all fell through literally a few weeks before we were due to fly. I enjoyed the summer, we had two family holidays to make up for the disappointment and I took the children out and about a lot. But now ds1 is back at school I seem to have hit rock bottom. Ds2 has lost his place at pre-school and everywhere here is full up, I can't get him in anywhere. Just trying to psych myself up to face the playgroups again (yawn yawn).
God I needed a vent, thank you for listening...
