Hello! New here
| Tue, 05-29-2007 - 3:11pm |
Hi. I am a stay at home mom of two boys ages 2 and 4. We are currently trying for our third and final baby (hoping for a girl). Most days I love being home but today is one of those days I do not. The boys have been great but sometimes it's like I just feel so bored. How much laundry can you do??? Today is one of those days. Ugh!!
Well usually I am a more pleasant person!! I will try to be better tomorrow.

Hi Jenn and welcome to the board!!
My name is Angie and I am momma to Alyssa (8), Layla (4), Judd (20 months) and baby #4 due on 12/22/2007. I totally understand getting bored, but this is a great place to come and get some interaction with adults!! (It'll help keep you sane!)
I hope to see you around the board!
Hi Jenn!
I'm Kelly, mom to Emily (2) & Brianna (almost 2 weeks).
Thanks all! Today is already a better day. I swear about once a month (not AF related either) I just get into that funk. All of my friends work so sometimes I guess I get a bit lonely at home!
Jenn and the boys
I know what you mean, I get myself into that rut every now & then, sometimes I feel really down when DH & I go out with all our friends, they all work for the same company, and they sit & talk about work & stuff like that, and I'm out of the loop b/c I'm home.
So how do you get those girls??? I would love to have a girl for my third and final baby!
Jenn and the boys
Hi, Jenn! Welcome!! I know I would go ABSOLUTELY nuts if I didn't have a lot of structure to my week. We get out almost every day and do something. If you're feeling lonely and isolated, I think it's very important for you to try and find some mom's groups to be a part of. I started out by going to story time at the library, and then signed up for a park district class. Now, I have a big network of good friends, we get together three mornings a week for a stroller aerobics class (though you could certainly just meet up for walks!), and have playgroups and outings pretty frequently. I love knowing that if I feel like going to the zoo, I have several people I can call to see if they want to come too.
Good luck, and welcome to the board!! :-) Message boards are also a great source of adult human contact!!
Hi Jenn
I too thought I would go bonkers when I had my son. At that time almost 8yrs ago I had a full time job. When I wasn't working my husband and I did alot of hiking. I read alot more books. It seems nowdays there are alot more options for women. Playgroups, classes, when the kids get older there's PTA. Just hang in there it wlll definitely get easier.
