I moved to a new area 5 years ago
Pre Covid, work was a vibrant place. Lots of chat and fun.
After work I would go to the park with my child, chat to other mums. I started some exercise classes with some of them.
Still saw friends from where I lived before occasionally.
My social life was good.
Now… work is bland and disjointed, my child is old enough to be at the park without me but not old enough for me to not be home just in case. Lots of the mums I spoke to before have moved or are busy elsewhere. I’m struggling to find the time to join fitness classes because of my boyfriend’s work schedule.
I leave work at 2:30 and do nothing in particular. I make dinner, play on my phone a bit, do some housework, walk the dog if the weather is ok. Boyf gets home around 6:30. Basically wait until it’s bedtime.
I have no life of my own. It’s getting me down quite a lot.
Anyone else felt like this? Just post Covid / awkward pre teen phase of my mum duties changing? Any advice?
