I hear you

Often i feel that because i am a SAHM i am less valuable to society than some one who is working. It can be difficult and isolating yet like you i too love been there for my DD's. When i feel like this i just reflect on the fact that i believe i am giving my DD's the best start to life by been a SAHM and therefore helping to make them well rounded happy and healthy ppl. See i am doing my bit for society. I was quite lonely when i had my 1st but now with my 2nd i am finding that more and more of my friends too are SAHM and have children. Is there someone from playgroup etc that you could catch up with another time to help with the loneliness. Or maybe see if anyone from playgroup would like to meet on a diff day at a park or something similar. This is how i became friends with the ladies in my playgroup. Although i enjoyed playgroup and liked the other mums it was always a bit hard to form strong friendships in the 2hr block once a week iykwim. Maybe if someone lives close you could organise to go walking together or something similar. Also maybe join another playgroup or swimming or something else to try and get out and meet ppl. It is so easy to get stuck in a rut trust me i know. For me i try to keep busy. Mon is dancing for my 2yo, Tue is shopping day, Wed is play grp, Thur is my stay home and cleaning day etc and Fri we go to the park with other mums from playgroup weather permitting. I find if can get out most days if only for an hour or two i dont feel too bad. HTH.
