Feeling lonely and invisible toddlers

[chocolatesweets]

I'm a mum to toddler twins and recently I've been feeling so lonely.

My husband works all day and we're in lockdown. I felt lonely before lockdown though. I used to go to mother and toddler groups but a lot of the regular ones were in their 40s and well off, being able to be sahms. Also I saw them for like 2 hours every week. Not enough really.

My sister and friends are child free and my sister especially is busy with her life. We used to be close but now she lives further away and our lives are different.

I'm in my early 30s.

I don't know why I'm posting this really. I just want to feel part of something again. I feel so detached from society. And invisible. Especially with lockdown and coronavirus. Noone takes about the work unpaid caregivers do.

Anyone been here and can offer advice?
My husband is a great support and is wonderful.

I hear you op
I just moved to a new area so don't know many people around here
When I was at the park the other day I saw so many groups of kids playing together, I felt like I could cry
Poor ds as well, he really missed having friends his age to play with

I feel exactly the same, thought I had been coping ok through lockdown but had a massive meltdown on Friday!

I've always been so social and had lots of friends, but over the past few years we seem to be drifting more and more apart.
I'm not sure what the answer is but I do think probably a lot of people are feeling the same.
Feel free to reach out for a chat anytime x

Thank you so much. Sorry you're feeling the same. I was exactly the same. Coping fine then last week it has been a nose dive! I'm really sociable too. I just want a lot of friends over , with their kids and be able to discuss and chat and drink wine.
