Hi,
I understand you're lonely and probably frustrated. It sounds like you need to surround yourself with some new people. Have you looked into local play groups? I also know churches are very helpful too. I think they offer babysitting, etc. It depends on how comfortable you are with that. I know it's tough, but try to stay positive because your children can sense when you're not happy. |

| There is an old saying, "if you want to be a plumber then hang around with other plumbers", The point is learn from the best in your situation. You are now in a very different league than your old friends. You will pay a higher sacrifice and receive higher rewards with your children. So I recommend you search for friends of the same caliber, where you can learn how to be the best mother you could be. Library reading groups, church activities, MOPS groups ect. Call around and find where they meet and join in. Try to make at least 3 or 4 new friends to visit with. Now is the time so that you will have things and activities to look forward to during the winter months when you will want it even more. Read the newspaper 9 will give you things to talk about with others) and join a sewing group or learn something new that would benefit your home, health and sanity and especially your relationship with your spouse. |

| I know it's really difficult! I have definitely learned that there are two categories: Parents and Non Parents. Truthfully, i don't think Non Parents realize just how time consuming and sometimes challenging motherhood can be...although as someone said, with greater rewards! I just wanted to let you know that i understand what you're going through and if you really feel that those old friends are important, keep your connection with them but trying to find at least one other person like you to use would probably help you a lot! |

your kids should always be number one and when you have kids you change and your priorites change. so maybe they werent you friends in the first place. i learned that when i was pregnant and noone wanted to chill with me because i was pregnant. where do you live? look at play and mommy groups. take care
