Motherhood is hard

I just want to come on here to say motherhood is damn hard. Even with my husband helping it’s so fucking hard. The people that I thought would be there to help out haven’t shown much interest and it makes me resent them.

My family lives 2+ hours away from me so I can’t go to them for help otherwise I would.

My husbands family is 30 mins away and they only show up when it’s convenient.

I have zero friends here.

It’s just me and my husband raising our son which I know is our responsibility but I just wish I had an extra set of hands to help. Someone who truly showed empathy and love not someone who’s just doing it just bc they were asked (MIL).

Every time we ask my in laws to come over they say it’s too far or they say they will come but then something always comes up. My baby is their first grandchild.

Motherhood is hard. So hard and isolating! I know it’s all worth it but wow I don’t know how I’m going to make it through the next 18 years without a support system
