After moving out of London back to our hometown, I have been absolutely miserable. Currently pregnant with 2nd & it’s a move we’ve discussed since pre covid and put off for so long as we loved the little part of London we lived in - leafy, village like, strong sense of community. We needed more space after living in a small 2 bed flat, and I went back to work 5 days a week after maternity, which I never thought I’d do. Now we’ve moved in I just miss all the small things in my daily routine, walking our dog, having lovely parks on doorstep. I just feel like all we were thinking about is getting as bigger house as we can for money, a bit further out from town…and not thinking about location and what really made us happy. I’m about to go on maternity and Im just overthinking everything and dreading maternity. To get anywhere like playgrounds we have to walk on such a busy main road and it stresses me out as our area in London felt like it was more leafy and quiet than here. I’m just worried we’ve made a huge mistake and will be miserable… should have bought a smaller house but on a new build site with a better community feel/more access to parks for small children and better more sociable dog walking. I can’t speak to family or friends about it as they just think I’m crazy and should be grateful
