Has anyone ever felt like this...
On mat leave I go for a walk every day but I only go to a "thing" about twice a week, a mum and baby singing class and a meet up with some other new mums.
On both occasions I really feel like dressing up, spending some time getting ready, not wearing leggings and a jumper, putting makeup on ... just because those are things I enjoy and it's so effing boring being at home every day and not having anywhere to make an effort for.
But I avoid doing it... because I worry that it will look like I'm showing off, or I'm trying to make the other mums look bad, or like I'm trying too hard when I should be just cooing over my baby all the time.
For context my baby is quite easy during the day that's why I usually have time for such frivolities...
Does anyone recognise this feeling? I don't want to be a dick, but also I'm bored and I really could do with playing with clothes and makeup for a cheap thrill.
(Also just to say I adore my baby and being on mat leave, most of the time!)
