Do you ever feel like a robot?

I’ve always hated routine, even at school I couldn’t bear the thought my whole day was mapped out, science at 9, maths at 10, English at 11 🤦🏻♀️ After baby I found going back to work part time has helped. My job is really interesting and no two days are the same - my boy gets to enjoy and learn at nursery and I get to converse with other adults! Might be worth a go if your circumstances allow? Even a Saturday morning job just to get out the house? X
What was the last thing that made you laugh? What in general would make you laugh or happy? I would carve out time for myself. It’s so important! It’s easy to loose yourself when you don’t. You may even want to consider therapy as well. Also self care doesn’t have to be anything huge. Maybe drink your favorite drink. Doing your nails then a nice bath. Or simply taking 10-15 mins everyday to yourself is a start. Take the time to discover the new version of you.
@Zena the last thing I really remember was going to a comedy show for my husbands birthday when I was pregnant with my first. Idk I just want to joke around with my husband. He said he just felt the need to be serious around our kids.
@Fay if I go back to work it would double our taxes so I can’t right now.
@Anna👼👶👼👼 no. I got an hour the Sunday before last and it was amazing. But normally no. I sleep with these kids and they wake up with me. And I can never get them to nap at the same time. My baby is taking cat naps rn and so maybe I get five minutes after setting him down if my toddlers fallen asleep.
Surely not a Saturday job for a couple of hours somewhere? Maybe just set some dedicated time to yourself, my hubby and I alternate weekend lie in where possible and that’s a nice treat x
The laughing thing is so real
I lost my sense of humor for like 18 months after having my son. I also couldn’t cry (after crying for 2 months straight) after having him. So yes I can relate but it also went away for me. I don’t know how to help other than talk to someone about it and/or keep a journal. 💕
My husband is the serious type too he cracks jokes and sexual innuendos but for that holding my belly, abs hurting, tears coming out type laughter I go to my sisters or friends for that. I’ll never have that kind of laugh w Hubby he’s too serious. So I get it elsewhere. And when we start he’s like “ohh no here we go again” or “oh shit they’ve got the giggles”…. If you can’t truly laugh w your partner like that, seek it elsewhere. I also have friends on IG send me funny reels every couple days. He’s great, but I rely on my sisters and gfs for other, girly things or girl talk or laughing sessions.
Do you get time for you?
