Bloody hell, I thought was aimed at me for a moment... I didn’t go on holiday this year, so I reckon I’m safeMy moan is that my friend constantly texts me when her husband is away (armed forces) saying she’s lonely/bored, and I’m busy working so text her when I’m free. When the husband comes back , understandably she spends time with him/her kids but if I needed her to chat (been feeling particularly low the past couple of days) she wouldn’t reply. Yet when it’s the other way round, the nice person I am replies and offers help. I just don’t like the unevenness of our friendship. Haven’t seen her in 2 years (she lives in Scotland) yet she was down near me in Summer visiting family, didn’t tell me she was visiting my way or offer to meet up (socially distanced of course).
I dunno it just upsets me I guess.
Hope you are okay. The lockdown is total crap, isn’t it. Your post caught my attention - this is exactly how I felt with my first baby. The only thing was - I was later diagnosed with moderate postnatal depression. I know it seems impossible, but if you can, please try to find time for yourself to do things for YOU. XI needed this, purely because I have had enough. This year is a total shit show.
I had my first baby in June, I love my baby more than anything, but hate maternity leave. I had this baby glued to me for months, I didn't get the opportunity for family and friends to come round and see them, enjoying the crap you can do on your maternity leave.
Joined NCT which was a waste of £250. The women in my group are all sensitive Susan's. Have no real normal mummy friends, just another parent from work who is high on life one minute and down the dumps the next. Great
Nothing has really changed for my husband he works from home, speak to his colleagues and I hate it. He loves working from home, he feels like he is parenting, no you twat we don't see you from 7am til. About 4pm, unless it when you ask what's for lunch. Which I have to make because he is working!
Feel like I have become a prisoner in my own home. I cook, clean, and look after everything and everyone around me. But I can't be bothered with myself. I just want to swan round the shops, have a coffee, leave my house without the curtains twitching from across the road.
I am sick of waking up only to be clock watching, waiting for this utter disaster to be over and for when I can go back to work for some normality.
Thanks for creating this thread, needed to rant!!!!!
Thank you Sally1993. I just wanted to vent my feelings. Don't get me wrong I am incredibly grateful for my family and I health.Hope you are okay. The lockdown is total crap, isn’t it.

Thank you so muchYou didn’t, you are very strong to have kept going through what has been a tough year without the help you need and deserve.
I can’t offer any advice but I hope things start to improve for you soon and MH services can offer you some help.
Please chase them about it if you haven’t because even with covid happening you absolutely should be getting to speak to someone
This is a thread of no judgement!I know I’m very fortunate to have a job please don’t come at me! I just begrudge working over Christmas especially when the leave is given to those with children first.
Yeah, I lurked on here a bit, before posting. What I noticed was a lot of loveliness!It might be an idea to go to the forum business section, and request a thread to discuss your feelings in more detail.
