Young Mums

[StrawberryFields]

Not a young mum yet for another few months but I do know where the young mums section is - its in the Families and Relationships> Issues for Younger Couples section. We tried to revive it recently because its usually so dead in there but alas!

I know how you feel when you say you're feeling lonely already though, mostly because we had to move away from all our friends and family for DH's job, and I've found it impossible to find a job of my own so I have had no way of making any friends. I've tried to go to some pre-natal classes but because I'm having twins nobody else understands how different everything is for me, and instead of being able to connect with anyone, all I get to do is field questions about am I going to put them in matching outfits, or deflect comments like 'oh I wish I was having twins' and 'lucky you, two for the price of one.' I got sick of it so now I just stay at home with our furbabies, and Facebook, emerging only for food and appointments. My friends care, I know they do, they ask after me and call from time to time, but I'm the only one who's married, some of them haven't ever had a boyfriend, or even had sex yet, or they're guys so they just don't get the whole baby thing period! But I was always the pioneer, the first to do everything, the first to succeed or fail, so I guess I shouldn't have expected any different.
