What is really hard.

You know what is really hard? Being a stay at home mom with a 16 mnth old son and 6 mnths pregnant with his baby sister. On top of that my husband just started going out of town for 2 weeks at a time and I am left alone in a house that we have lived in for 2 weeks cuz our last landlord kicked us out cuz she wants to sell and we cant afford to buy.

If that isnt bad enough, I am living in a place where I have no friends and even if I did I wouldnt be able to hang out with some one my own age cuz there isnt alot of 20 year olds married with almost 2 kids. And any one I do meet with kids it always seems to be just for the kids. Which is fine with me but I wold still like to find some one to talk to. All the moms I know just want to talk about there kids and I end up talking about mine.

That does sound tough.  And yes, once you have kids...  conversations do tend to revolve around the kids! 

You may want to go to www.meetup.com & look for a playgroup near you.  I am not sure where you live- but we have a big one and we have Mom's age 19-47.  Once you have kids, age isn't as important (you'll find that you have things in common with a 30 yr old because of the kids).  My son & I have both made some really nice friends thru our group!

Good Luck :)

Thanks so much. We live in Gulf Shores Alabama and so far through this website the closest group I can find is in Robertdale and that is like 2 or 3 towns over. I would like to find something a little closer. I will check it out. Thamks for the help.

I do understand! I stay at home with a 8 year old with autisum a 4 year old and a 2 year old just this pass year my 2 older boys are bothin school but I still have no friends and no nody to talk to I live out in the Country so I  can not go anyways because my husband take my car to work because his does not work we just moved out of my mother in laws house where we lived for 7 months in a 10 x 10 room all 5 of us and she made castro look nice. I am 26 with 3 kids and the people that live near me are all older and speak nothing but spanish and I do not plus they do not take to outsiders very well.  I hate feeling like I am complaing but /i really do understand how you feel I never see my husband he is always working 2 jobs. If you ever want to talk just let me know.

Oh girl i know how you feel. I'm only a mother of one 5 month old little girl but am going through the same transition. I just turned 25 in novemeber :0) I have noticed there are alot of older mom's now days so it makes you feel a little out of place but they are fun to talk to and hang with when it comes to the kids and advise. I just had to move bc of our house being sold that we were staying at as well.. I now live an hour away from any friends and family that i had and find myself very lonely being at home all day. My husband has to work 50 minutes away and is a mananger so we don't get to see him much plus he only has one day off a week. If you ever just wanna talk or something shoot me a message. :0)  I hope things get better for you.
