Would be nice to hear how other people in this situation cope? DH works offshore for 4 weeks at a time. We’re so lucky that when he’s home we have 4 weeks of us both being here full time with our baby - overall he gets much more quality time with our little one than he would if he worked a normal 9-5 job at home. I think because we have so much quality time I find it so much harder when he goes away 😔 I’m finding it so lonely!!
I’m sure covid has a lot to do with it too. We have family nearby but none of them are being particularly covid safe so we don’t feel comfortable having baby around them. We have no friends living in the same town that I could meet for walks etc. There are no classes etc on so I don’t know any local mums 🤷🏻♀️ I’m currently 2.5 weeks into 4 weeks alone with my 3 month old and have had 6 hours face to face adult conversation in this time - with some of that being my health visitor! I feel like we’re living the same day on repeat 😳
How do you stop yourself going stir crazy?
