Lost friends.

Feeling really lonely of late, I've completely lost all of my social circles since becoming a full time SAHM, I've only recently quit working and even my ex colleagues that I've worked with for 9 years don't message back anymore. And my husband moans at me for offloading to him about my day, but I literally don't have any friends left, with each child I've had, I've lost a few more people in my life and now I'm expecting my 4th, I've been left with no one, and now I'm conscious of overly offloading to my husband who apparently doesn't always want to be my shoulder 😳🤷‍♀️😒 joys of motherhood. I guess my new besties in life are aged 5 and under!

Hit me up anytime 😊

I experienced something similar when I became a mom. There were lots of people who I thought I’d be friends with forever that fell away quickly. It took me about a year but I’ve made close friends again and don’t feel lonely at anymore ❤️ don’t lose hope!

God replaced your friends with your babies, enjoy those moments and rebuild yourself. Remember, elevation requires separation. 💚💚💚

I’m here! I feel the same way. To everyone else it comes off as complaining but they simply just don’t understand. Us SAHM have to stick together!

Relatable. I offloaded to my husband last night when he got home from work. He wasn’t in the mental space to hear me at the time, and was quite short with me. After the kids went to bed, he went out on the porch to smoke a cigar. I cleaned the kitchen and then retreated to our bedroom to enjoy my glass of wine. He called me on the phone from the porch & we talked. lol 😂 He apologized and we had a meaningful conversation. Our relationship used to be long distance and we would FaceTime a lot. It was kinda like old times. Anyways, I can relate. We just moved to a new city, state and making friends has been hard.

I go pick up the kids from kinder/school early so I can chat to the other mums that are also waiting for their kids to come out of school. I’ve made some friends w a couple mums doing that. Also when they were babies I went to a lot of the baby library sessions and made friends that way too, and from Mother group. I guess you have to attend “mum” things, make opportunity open up be friendly etc. He’s had play dates since he was a baby coz I managed to make some friends from his baby classes and still see them now although I see those mums less coz kids go to different school and after school activities etc but I’ve made more at my boys’ kinder. Good luck!!

@Brianna Awww that's super cute! My husband and I are far too stubborn to apologise to each other 😂 hopefully it comes as we get older

@Kellie My issue is I have nearly 4 kids, aged 5 and under. So I tend to avoid baby groups because it's too much to do alone and they're often aimed at specific age groups, so e.g. for a 0 - 12 month group, I wouldn't be able to take my older ones along. The school run here just isn't that friendly haha I do try to chat but the other mums are already in their own little cliques and once the kids are released we all go our separate ways 🙈
