What do other mums do with their days??

[Lolasmummie]

I have a 3 month old and we seem to spend every day walking around shops cos i have no idea what else to do with the days. I do quite enjoy nosing around the shops but im sure the security staff must think im up to something! Im not overly keen on the idea of mother and baby groups/coffe mornings cos i dont really want to sit around discussing nappies etc etc,lol and i dont like coffee anyway.
Any suggestions for things to do/ places to go/ people to have conversations with rather than just babbling to the lil one ??

I know the idea of mother and baby groups is dreadfull, but they really are worth going to. You will meet others who feel the same as you, and make friends. It wont take long to get over the boring baby talk and make some good friends.

Take a walk along the beach, I know it's a bit cold & windy at this time of year, but I love it. I quite often just go for a walk along there. I have started going to lots of groups though wiht ds2, something I never did with ds1 because I hated them. WHat area are you in? Surestart do lots of groups. I'm not in any of the Surestart areas, but I managed to sneak myslef in and now go to quite a few of their groups. There is also the new Cumberland Childrens Centre at CUmberland Infants, they are just starting up & run groups around the Eastney area. Try this; Portsmouth Chat. Is usually kept fairly up tp date. You might find something in there for you.

I've found this time round the groups have been a life saver, and I've made some really good friends. I don't drink coffee or tea, and the last thing we talk about is nappies etc.

I never wanted to go to mother and baby groups so spent the first 15 months quite lonely and walking around shops and going to the park. I was then dragged kicking and screaming to a local mother and baby group and survived started going every week just for something to do and made some great friends. 5 years later I am still in touch with two of the other mums, which is keeping me sane while the kids are at school. Otherwise I would be doing the walking round the shop bit again

I know you haven't posted for a while but I know exactly how you feel, My lil' one is 18 weeks tomorrow and I couldn't be any more bored, I gave up walking around the shops (in nearly every street) and now I sit at home on the computer all day and even that's getting frustrating now.

I felt the same about the mother and baby groups, I went along and it just wasn't my thing, talking about babies for a couple fo hours. I only moved here in July and I only have my partner and his family, they work all day so I'm on my own with a baby. I'm so frustrated I don't know what to do with myself.

Did you find anything to do or are you still as bored as before?
