Why I'm here
I have been acclimating to being a SAHM poorly so far. It's harder than I thought it would be. It's very lonely and I'm tired of depending solely on my hubby for adult conversation. I figure that it is time to meet other moms and DO something! So here I am.

Adamsmommy, believe that we have all been there and felt the way that you feel. In some communities there are Baby Stroller events maybe at your neighborhood mall. Check into those. It's a great place to start to meet other SAHMs and get exercise with the little ones. Also, look into playgroups in your area where you can plan a playdate with another mother or a group of mothers. Sometimes, just going to the library with the children can be a great way to have some adult conversations.
This is why being able to get out once a week to make some income makes us feel great and sharing something worthwhile with others is the icing on the cake.

PermalinkWelcome to the lonely world of SHAM-hood. Good news, you are not alone. Once you start to make friends, get out more...finally being able to spend a few hours by yourself (like going to the gym) without feeling guilty..it's not so bad. There is a large support network out there. When my husband and I visit his family in San Diego, I joined Meetup and meet a few moms from there. I made a friend and am looking forward to seeing her whenever we get back there.

PermalinkHi,
My name is Esmeralda and like adamsmommy I am having the same problem or dillema. The thing is that I have been a sahm for about a year and even though I have been for about a little over a year I still I realized today that I need to get out and find friends. Today my mother threw me a baby shower and all of the invites except for two (my husband best friends mom and her daughter) were my moms friends and in a way it made me feel kind of bad. That I have no friends. Sometime I tell my husband that the only adult conversation I sometimes have all day is with him. But what can I do?
