What should I do?

Question

Uhh, hey everyone 👋🏻 I’m just coming on here to ask for some suggestions or something 😩 
I am 15 weeks pregnant and currently unemployed, not in school, & I have zero hobbies. 
I want to get a job, maybe seasonal? But boyfriend doesn’t want me to work. Neither does mom or dad. School doesn’t start for me again until fall semester and I am just bored, so bored everyday that I never know what to do (no more cleaning can be done, no laundry, literally everything is done) ... 
Tv gets boring after awhile, and even going for a walk or something ... isn’t always that entertaining or whatever. I’m sure it’s making me miserable and I just don’t know. I hate sitting around, UGH! 
What do you guys do to keep yourselves occupied? What can I do to stay busy or something?! I’m obviously desperate. 
Thank you all.

Answer

Maybe take a summer class. Find places to volunteer like the animal shelter, old folks home, daycares. Get a dog. Take yoga classes, painting classes, get a gym membership to go swimming. Pick up a bunch of pregnancy books to read. Take some parenting and birthing classes. Maybe you'll meet some new people through doing one of those. Try to plan frequent outings with family and friends. I would honestly still try to get an easy part time job, its nice to have extra income with a baby on the way.

You could start doing light workouts or find a yoga class or go find something like a real estate class or even try dog walking for extra money! 🤷🏽‍♀️ just throwing out ideas of things I would do. They also have baby sitting jobs that you can make your own schedule with

Maybe your boyfriend and family would feel better about you working if it’s not too physical — maybe something like a receptionist. Be sure to let them know that you’re having a hard time with nothing to do, hopefully they understand and will be more supportive. 
As for hobbies, I say be willing to try things out! Literally anything on google that looks interesting is worth a try. You may fall in love with something you never knew about! It’s also worth looking into what sort of community events or fun classes are available in your area. 
I hope you’re able to find things to do — I understand how boring some days can be. Good luck!

Answer

Just go get a part time job. Why don’t they want you to work!?

Answer

Under the same situation, making this pregnancy feel longer. I had a miscarriage my last pregnancy that’s why we decided to be extra careful this time around and not working. I have a 9 year old daughter though which dose give me something to do.

Answer

I haven’t worked my whole pregnancy and trust me it does get boring. If you are able to work I would go for it even if it’s just part time so you don’t feel stuck at home. 
I personally go to the gym (have been going for 4 years) gives me something to look forward to.
