I’m a FTM and my little boy has just turned 4 months. My husband had to work all through lockdown so I’ve pretty much managed on my own with a newborn and feel like we were initially smashing it.
Now the restrictions are easing I’m almost finding it harder. I don’t have a huge group of friends but I’m finding that friends and family are now all busy doing things which don’t include my son and I.
I’m starting to feel really down and tearful and am finding it hard to interact with my son. He’s the happiest little guy and he’s no trouble at all but I feel like I’m vacant.
For example, I phoned my mum today for a chat, she sounded like she was in the car so I asked her where she was going and her and her husband were going to the zoo! I didn’t mention it, but I was really hurt that she didn’t think to invite me and her grandson.
I just feel like everyone’s second thought and it’s really getting me down.
