Lonely yet NEVER alone

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
Anyone else.  I left my job to take care of my sweet little daughter.  Don't get me wrong, she is an amazing blessing and I  love being able to spend this time with her but ...does any one else get really lonley being home?  I invent reasons to go to the store just so I can hi to somebody that might actually say hi back to me. :( I hate to go back to work and leave my daughter in daycare but starting to feel a little nutty. ANyone else? What do you do?

    I went back to work.

    But I never planned to stay home. I felt that way on maternity leave with #1 (I was home for about 6 months). Join a mom's group...that was a lifesaver for me!

    oh yes, I do. You need a join a mom and baby yoga class or something. It is hard, and people don't really understand. You have TB at least!

    Yes.  I feel this way often.  It's hard to spend the entire day having one-way conversation.  Being a SAHM is a lonely job.  I too joined a mom's group and that helped a lot!  Oh- and we are now doing a music class too.

    We go to Starbucks almost every day just as an excuse to see adults. Sometimes I don't even really want a drink - but I go anyway!  LOL

    I almost went insane during my 3 month maternity leave.  I love my child, but felt totally unfulfilled.  Clearly, I'm not the SAH type and work at a career I love. 

    If I did ever have to stay home, I would definitely make it a priority to meet other moms similar to me.  I would also find a gym with daycare so I could take classes, etc.
