FTM, I’m I the only one who feels like this?

Question

First time mom also SAHM. I literally feel like I have no friends(I actually don’t), all I do everyday is taking care of my baby, the house and watch A LOT of movies and shows. Literally that is my life 24/7. I feel like I’m not normal that I’m the only one who does this. My husband works a lot and when he comes home he is soo tired. I talked to my 3 month old baby as if I’m talking to an adult lol. I seriously feel like I’m losing it.

Answer

I have the same exact life! My husband is military so he is gone a lot and when he is home he is to exhausted to hold a conversation. I have a one year old and for the past year has basically talked to myself and him and the dogs 😂 I just now started getting out of the house and finding Mommy play groups but they are awk and I haven’t really made many friends. I have a few friends but like me they have little ones and spend there days cooking cleaning wiping buts and being a small child’s snack person 😂 it gets better once they can interact with you but then harder because they are like mini little tornadoes 😂

Answer

My daughter is 17 months and I still have no friends lol. At least not in my living area, all my friends are in a different state. Also talking to your baby like they are an adult is actually very good for them!

Answer

we're the same. baby girl is 3 months old too and my SO works seconds so he doesn't get in till 11 at night and she sleeps most of the day so I have no one 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Take baby to story time at the library and check out some books while you're there! Go on some walks to get out of the house. Also MOPS would be a good way to meet some moms in your area. It's an adjustment for sure, but you're doing great! Also, it's good for babies to talk to them a lot! I talk to my son like 90% of the day when he's not sleeping. 😆🙃

Answer

Same here 😩 I usually go to school but since baby number 2 is coming I took a semester off . Now I’m just literally bored at home chasing around my 1 year old . Don’t have no type of friends that will come over . So all I do is just watch shows which I’m literally losing it right now because I don’t know what to watch anymore 😂 I feel like I’ve watched everything .
So I’m either cooking, cleaning, chasing after this girl of mine and our cat or sleeping . And I sometimes take her on walks outside to play around . Then back inside we go , like what a life 😂😂😂 my husband works by the time he gets home his exhausted he eats dinner and just goes to sleep .

Answer

Have you h ew ard of moms groups such as MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) they meet like onc ew a week or so and have fun activity, breakfast and childcare for a couple hours. It's a great way to meet friends with children the same age :)
