bored of my life this weekend

I'm bored. Really bored. Had enough of this year. I've been up and down like many through this year. Had two kids full on in my face and a partner working from the next room. The conversation has dried up. All he does is work. All I do is deal with the kids. We tried to embrace going out with the kids to a zoo. That was a nightmare with a travel sick toddler and having to queue and keep the kids away from others.

I have been feeling really nostalgic to life 6 years ago. Working. Going to the pub with friends for tea. Cinema evenings. Driving around in cars with mates and grabbing a takeaway. The days when life felt fun and sociable.

All I want to do is go for a drive. Play some music and laugh. But it wouldn't be fair on the littlest who throws up after about 20 minutes in a car and goes green. To be honest I just want to go for a drive without the kids but nobody can have them. My partner drives and I don't. We used to go out all the time.

Usually none of this bothers me. But for the best part of six months we've been stuck in the house.

My partner's been tired and waffling about work all day. I literally want to tell him to make me laugh or something for once. I'm sick of the moaning.

Just want to get it off my chest. Feel so trapped at the moment.

Can you fit in some time for any hobby?

Perhaps it's time to learn to drive.

learn to drive

It comes down to money. Even the if I could we can't go out and leave the kids....

I just want to get out and mix and have fun. So bored of no plans and never out the house after 4pm.

No chance of a child free hobby at the moment.

Do you work?

But your husband can watch the kids while you learn? It's not wise to be dependent on a man for income AND transportation!
