Do you ever feel lonely?

[Dark04]

Being a parent changes you so much more than just the physical, it changes the mental.
Being with DD all day leaves me feeling lonely...Do any other parents feel the same?
You love your child with every fiber of your being but you feel bored...You need more interaction but you're stuck in your child's routine.
Please tell me I'm not alone...

Not alone at all, I find it waxes and wanes quite alot but my and my husband lok afywr LO so the other can still see friends, do hobbies etc but sometimes some time with your significant other is what you need I find you can get lonely from that point of view too x

Nope it's not just you OP. I'm going through the same thing. I'm on maternity leave and my boy is neatly 8 months old. I'm so tied to his routine and I sometimes don't see anyone all day and it is lonely and sometimes dare I say it boring. I'm looking forwards to going back to work in baby but then I feel guilty for feelung that way.

Yes! LynseyLou1982 you're completely spot on. Its like we cant win. We feel lonely but then when we are without them we feel guilty. I'm so glad someone else understands.

Absolutely! My Ds is 8 months too and tbh I am lonelier than ever. Don't suppose you're in south east Kent! The days drag and I find myself on my phone more than I should be...

How old is your little one, OP?

DD is a year now. I sometimes feel like this (especially now that lots of friends are back at work) but I really focus on getting out with her every day and chatting to other parents at activities if they seem up for a chat.
