Hi all?
NC here just because I’ve posted about so many different topics on here.
I became a mum late, at 42. My partner then died (he was late forties) when our DS was 1.
So here I am a 48 yo mum with a 6yo child.
Most of the time it’s fine, now. Difficult but ok. We have lots of friends and activities.
The problem I’m facing going forward is holidays. I’m baulking at the strain of how I’m going to give my little one a childhood fully of happiness, gaiety and merriment when every holiday that comes around I think WTF do I do to fill this one.
There’s a real danger that if we spend too much time together I get bored out my brain or even a little depressed for want of adult companionship.
I’ve got really lovely in-laws but nothing to write home about re family on my side. My mum died young, my Dad is 89 and crippled and my brother quite frankly seems like a sociopath.
Anyone else in the same boat? Any tips or encouragement?
