hi all
I have a beautiful 6 month old boy, who I love to bits. gvae up work to have him adn never intended to go back until he was older - say nusery age. but I'm sooo bored! every day seems like groundhog day - same thing over adn over. we go to coffee mornings every fortnight which are a real lifesaver - i see some of the people from that at differnt times,but teh days stil seem very long. what with feeding adn mushing up fruit and veg al the time, my days seem to be spent in teh kitchen. we do go out shopping etc, but hate spending money now I'm not earning it, adn indow shopping is a waste of time. not one for sitting in coffee shops, adn everything is alwasy timed to get back home for feeds etc. i just don't know what to do with myself(hey isn't that a song?) and som days liek today when DH has gone back to work I just spend my whole day clockwatching wondering how to fill teh time. there's only so many verses of singing wheels on the bus a girl can sing, adn only so much housework i have the inclincation to do - (actaully none at all) can anyone please reassure me that I'm not going mad?!!!

Not going mad at all littleweed . I posted something like this very similar a few Mondays ago!!!I think its mondayitis !! Ill link it so you can read & relate together!!!. I know exactly what you mean. Im sitting here in my pj's thinking so what now. Dh also went back today after 2 weeks together. I was meant to have coffee grp today but no arrangements so far.Ihave a freelance business ,but I havent done anything for a year now. I dont seem to have the push to start again. Im not sure if its inertia, lack of self esteem, or out of practise!!! I also dont want to work properly till nursury age.

wobblyknicks · 19/04/2004 09:22

Sounds really boringly mumsy but what about doing something like a craft or learning a language?? But I'm not one to talk, if I get spare time, I'm on MN!!!

papillon · 19/04/2004 09:23

Oh dear that makes me feel all guilty - I am supposed to be learning German - but it is so not fun

LipstickMum · 19/04/2004 09:23

Thank god I am not alone!!

wobblyknicks · 19/04/2004 09:24

Lol papillion - was not trying to make you feel guilty!!! Just saying its an option, but going on MN is another very good option IMO!!!!

papillon · 19/04/2004 09:26

LipstickMum · 19/04/2004 09:27

Lavender sind eine kleine schlange?

...Dear littleweed...it is very normal to feel like this...Like Melsy said we all feel like this sometimes. It is always worse when the house has had extra bodies in it and for one reason or another they have gone back to their normal day to day activity...work, school...etc.
The best thing is to try and make some plans for yourself and baby...try going somewhere new each week....try meeting up with mn's in your area and talk to them...We are all in the same boat when at home with young ones.....I'm doing it a second time around...oldest dd is 12 ..youngest ds is 3...and I still get shocked with how utterly boring and how lonely it can be being a sahm....at this time you tend to forget all the lovely things about being at home..and there are lot's....Hope this helps somewhat
