Feeling lonely

[ilovemyboys3]

I have 3 young children. Currently on maternity leave and my OH works a funny shift pattern. I find myself home a lot with the kids on my own and it's so bloody lonely. Just got home from a week away with my (parents etc) family and have realised just how lonely and bored I am in life. I spend a lot of time home alone, evenings, days and weekends with the kids. Anyone else feel the same? Even though I have a partner, I'm still so lonely and tackling this parenting stuff on my own a lot is blooming hard work! Tell me it gets better!!

I'd say it's really worth putting the effort in to find other people in a similar situation. It's very lonely and boring being on your own with small children all the time.

Can you find things to do in the evening, even for one night a week? I joined a local choir during my first Mat leave and have new friends through it

(Popchoir or Rockchoir are both good if any near you! )

But similar social things which get you out the house.
