.Question for SAHM's?
Mom's, when your kids were younger did you have "friends" or any type of social life save for with your spouse or family? And when the kids started school, did you adjectives of a sudden find yourself hanging out with other moms or did it remain the same until the kids be older and/or you decided to go vertebrae to work?
I was just wondering cause I am the classic loner...I have no friends, I stay home with my 2 kids and go to college full time at night...my best friend is my younger brother and that cause he is a bum and hangs at my house adjectives the time HA HA HA.but now that my oldest is starting kindergarten, I found that alot of mom's are asking me for my number and are actually are calling me to hang out! With kids...and girl night as well...so I am actually excited to have some friends presently! Isn't that lame? lol :)
I actually seemed to hold more friends when my children were under the age of 4 than I do now. Now most of them enjoy moved out of state. I'm still a stay at home mom, but I have 1 friend who I see once a month or so. I live out in the middle of nowhere and am incredibly shy, so I'm not very apt about getting out there and meeting brand new people.
I hang on to to myself mostly, and have 3 of my 4 kids in school. i enjoy 3 friends i would consider hanging with while the kiddies are at school but i am more predictable to stay home and do extra cleaning every day to make sure my house looks great. No i dont get bored but afterwards i still have 1 of my 4 kids at home.
Im not a SAHM and nobody wants to be my friend.
:(
I stay home with my 22 month old. I own one friend who I talk to sometimes. Other than that, I only talk to my son and my husband. When my son go to school I will probably go back to work and produce some new friends.
Answers: I totally know what you feel. I chose to be a SAHM a little over a year ago. I felt that I lost my identity and at one point feel crummy being home with only my toddler (Aly was 7 months old when I became a SAHM). But I changed that inwardly a month of being home with my girl. I started going out to the beach for walk each morning. There I met another SAHM that had a child 2 months younger than my girl and we became walking buddies eventually friends.
Then we started questioning in our community free things to do with them and found that there be tons of activities. We've established relationships with other mommies by getting involved at the library, community centers, and also got them surrounded by 'school'.
I actually look forward to going to my child's daily activities because I grasp to socialize with adults.
I've gotten so much positive feedback and advice on parenting through them.
You're absolutely not lame for making friends, it's so on top form to your psychology (at least to mine it is). Keep in mind that it's great to network.
Yeah, I have that problem, too! Or HAD... I am a 23 year out-of-date, full time college student. I have a 5 year old son, and I had no friends, as very well. My friends consisted of my childhood friends who all live out of state.
I am married, too, so my family is really what I focus on.
However, when he was surrounded by pre-K last year, I invited the class to his birthday party. Of course, most of the moms were surrounded by their 30s, but there was ONE mom that I met who is in her twenties. Come to find out, we live 3 streets away from respectively other, and we have a lot in adjectives!
Now, we're best friends and talk all the time. You'll meet a mom friend. My primary problem was with age. Most of my college classmates don't have kids, and most inhabitants with 5 year olds are quite a bit older. I be really excited to meet a mom friend, so your feelings ARE NOT lame! :)
