because i am a sahm my closest relationship is with my 2/5 year old son. i dont know anyone and no family within 1000 miles. husband is gone a lot and when he is here i hardly see him. it gets lonely sometimes. however bordom conquers all. its been 4 years and its just not the same anymore. we seem to get irritated with each other more easily. im also unsure of how being a sahm will effect my son. he is so attatched to me. he wont even play by himself at the park i have to be following him. i need some friends. haha. maybe even a playdate.

Hi Jacquie! I am so sorry you feel alone! It's not easy to raise kids especially with no support system. I don't know what your religous beliefs are but I have alot of support in my church family. Maybe if you got involved with the local church it would help. And if you put your son in the nursery on sun and wed or what ever night you attend a church function he would get used to being around other kids and other people. It would help with some of his attachment to you. i have 3 Kids there ages are 5, 3 1/2, and 18 mons. I have been a sahm since my oldest was 10 months old. I had issues with my son being attached at the hip so when he turned 3 I put him in pre-school for 1/2 day. It seemed to help alot. He is still more attached than my other 2 but he is willing to be with other people. there are lots of churches that offer support groups for sahm. Anyway its just a suggestion I hope it helps! Oh and if you don't mind me asking where are you from??
