Sat in my garden in this beautiful sunshine, alone! Anyone else out there feeling a little bit sorry for themselves?

Or are you content (answer honestly) in the fact you have absolutely no plans this Saturday evening?
My dd's are at friends intil 8.30pm. They have been out since 2pm. I have been sat scrolling facebook- Instagram- mumsnet....
Recently single and feeling completely lost!
What do all you single mammas do on weekend days/evenings?

Not a lot tbh. No one has my children over night so I'm always home with them as a rule. I do arrange for family and friends to come over as often as I can but most Saturday nights are the same as any other night. Bath and bed routine for my youngest and if I can pride my teen boys of the Xbox we may watch a film or play monopoly.

My child is grown up so I can come and go as I please but still feel very lonely a lot of the time.
I’m going to meet a friend this evening but because of my low mood I suspect I will end up feeling sad, lonely and anxious.

I think doing an activity that really absorbs you is helpful.
If I’m on the internet all the time my mind wanders a lot.

I'm pissed off as am in a WhatsApp group with a bunch of people involved in an activity my child is in. Until couple of days ago chat about meeting to watch the England game. All went quiet. Turns out the rest of them are at someone's house all together but nothing mentioned on the group. So looks like I was deliberately excluded. The fuckers. Sitting on my hands resisting the urge to message something passive aggressive to the group.

I’m really lonely and too agitated to do a proper activity.

Beautiful day but can’t really enjoy it. Ex being a cunt. Kids busy own things.

I do have a new partner, but he lives miles away and my ex is stopping me moving despite work and educational opportunities I don’t have here. Thinking of just finishing it and accepting my dull lonely lot here....

I am extremely sorry for myself.....😂😂

Am sitting in on my own too! Two grown up kids, daughter with her boyfriend, son with his girlfriend. Never thought I’d be sitting at home alone on a sunny Saturday evening, how things change

Watched the football alone , DD is in the pub , I was invited out this evening but declined due to no money and just can't be arsed anyway.

I have tried a couple of volunteering things but found the people not my 'type'. I have found that the more time I spend alone the less I can be bothered to socialise.

Could be worse. You could be in a relationship and sat out side all day alone and no plans for this evening either.

I hate my own company. I’m particularly sad as I’ve made a huge effort to try to move on after infidelity, but seems that I am never to have that luxury.

Seems there are a few of us alone though...

I'm sat in my garden alone too. DS is playing with friends. I'm feeling rather lonely. Split with exh 9 years ago.. had a few short relationships and can't see things changing. I'm very low today.. you're not alone

I wonder where we all live ? Maybe we could have a joint pity party

Oh noooooo!
I'm not the only one then.
I do wonder how many people feel the same but don't ever say. I don't want to appear a loner on social media otherwise I would ask on there.
I want to get dressed up, and socialise but instead I think I'm going to pour myself a large g&t and eat the contents of my fridge!

I'm not even a single mama. I'm lonely in a dead sexless marriage, 42 and wanted to be a mum and friends are all busying themselves with their dp's and dc's. It sicks. Shall I have an affair? I hope you feel more happy soon DP

😀 I have plenty to go round... actually feel a bit ashamed.

I have built a desk and I'm going for a swim.

Oddcat - this is the thing. All of us feeling a bit poop and we could be partying together.
I'm South Wales!

Sucks not sicks!

No - LEAVE!

Hmm I fancy a swim....

South Wales ? Give me 8ish hours and I'll be with you !! Essex here .

Haha! Ok, I will get the party started! 😊

Am on my own but happily so. Watched the match alone. My kind of OH is at an event that I'm not invited to but I don't mind as he probably missed the match!

I have plenty to be getting on with, hoping to have a bbq later and watch the other quarter final.

I'm in Mid Wales

Alone too. I do feel so lonely at times. I had hoped I'd be invited round friend's for meals, bbq etc when me and ex split but unless it a formal arrangement to go out then it doesn't happen.

I don't have the money to go out all the time but being invited round for an afternoon BBQ would be so nice - I'd take my own food!!

Just me and DH here. Kids are out and DH will go and play on the computer later. Just mentioned we need to find some friends. .

Not a lot but that is my choice, I'm not massively outgoing and money is tight. It definitely makes me feel a bit teary sometimes but other times it's a delight to eat what I want and watch shit tv without being judged!

Me . I just finished watching the England match and screaming alone . Doing some cleaning while cooking dinner and then early night for 😏

I think we assume people have all these lovely plans (listening to neighbours laughter) but not everyone does.
There are lots of people alone. I don't think social media helps....
