| This group is definitely for me!!! I am pretty new to the stay at home thing. I have a 2 1/2 yr old and a 3 month old at home and it s difficult. Since we recently moed back to my hometown.....I am starting all over in the friends department. It can sometimes be suffocating when your only interaction is with a 2 year old.....however I really do enjoy being able to play with my girls and be actively involved in their lives. I'm not sure if there is anyone in this group that lives in the Frederick, MD area......but if there is...e-mail me so we can maybe get together and have a playdate with our kids. I'd love to meet other moms in my situation so that I can develop a support network instead of keping everything inside. HELP me if you can!!! LOL Thanks- JESS |

Hey Jess,
Unfortunately, I do not live close to you but I can relate. I have a 7 month old and she is the best thing that ever happened to me and I LOVE being home with her all the time but before I had, for the past 7 years I have worked full time and now to be withdrawn from the outside world is definately a hard transition for me. Even taking her out to the malls and stuff just is not the same sometimes, I need adult interaction as well. I am sure your little ones keep you busy. I stay busy CONTSTANTLY but I still find the time to feel lonely! Go figure that:) Anyways, I hope I at least can make you feel not so alone.

There are days when I feel lonely and in need of adult interaction. Those are the days when I try to visit my mom or mother in law. My friends all work, but soon one will be off for the summer. I look forward to her being available during the day more often. Her kids are older than mine, but we can still get together once in a while.

| I can completely relate! I love being at home with my 3 1/2 month old son, but I miss the interaction with adults from work!! I wouldn't trade being at home with him for anything! I don't want to miss any of his "firsts". I live in Clarksburg, MD not too far from Frederick. Most of my friends have much older children or no children at all. |

| I totally understand as your children get older in the next year or two you will meet more moms as they go to pre-school and you do more activitites.. When I started staying home I was calling my mom all day long saying to her " how did you do it""???? this is so hard missing talking to adults was a big problem for me and still is but I have made a few great buddies thru my son at pre-school, I put him in a a pre-school two mornings a week with he turned three and that sure helped me..... so hopefully soon you can develop that network I know you will it takes some time so be patient , It took me a year or so to start developing the friendships and now with the next hurdles of you kids starting kindergarten and my little one almost turning 2 and my big one turing 5 yesterday the support has been great , stay positive, I am living proof it gets better... I thought foresure the first couple months of staying home, I just can't do this and two years later I have a strong support group,,,, There is light at the end of the baby and toddler tunnel...................................................... |

Wow!!! Okay....although I know I'm not the only one who felt like this...it sure is comforting to hear other moms saying what i feel. Truthfully....I was wondering if I was missing something in myself....but hearing all of you, makes me realize that this is part of having kids. Thanks guys for your great words. Atleast now I can breathe!!!
