Stay at home blues

[Minimummy]

Ok so I'm new here and already I'm compaining, but never mind.
I'm 21 and I'm a stay at home mum, I don't drive and my fella is at work from 7.30am-6.30pm. I don't talk to any of my family (I won't bore you with the details) and since I got pregnant at fifteen I don't really have any friends, partially because when they were out getting wrecked I was changing nappies
I was just wondering if I'm the only mum that feels this crappy about being alone all the time? There's only one playgroup a week where I live and honestly, you'd think they were all dying of the plague with how lively they are. I hate going to those playgroups where all of the mums pretend they're there alone. They refuse to even make eye contact! This sounds soooo desperate but I'm really coming close to standing on street corners asking random folk to be my friend. I guess I just didn't realise that staying at home with 3 kids would be this challenging, but it's so lonely. Also a big complaint here, has anyone noticed that the buses in Armthorpe are in no way suitable for mums and chiildren? I can't even go to town because I have to fold the pram down and carry 2 kids onto the bus! I had a word with a couple of the bus drivers but they just said its whatever buses come into the station.
Any suggestions for a bordering insane mum?
Cheers in advance

I would go with Mick - park, even just walk to the shops or something. Not all playgroups are the same. I have managed to find one that is ace. 2 hours for 2 mornings a week, all the Mums/childminders that go talk to everyone and we all help out with everyones kids too. Very friendly, good for me too as I don't feel like I am going insane with baby/little kids talk all weekday long!!

I know how you feel about the friends thing though and if I lived close to you, I would meet you on the corner and accept your friendship

as a parent i can sympathise and understand your situation.  i brought my two boys up alone and it is hard.  

question is what do you want to do?  further education? what?  we have a creche at the hub so that mothers can study and be sure that their little ones are looked after so why not think of something like that as an option.  also if you have litle ones it is often cheeper taking a taxi than the bus and i found it more practical also.

not all nurseries are the same but when i am outside patrolling the creche areas and i see children run from their parents eager to get in and have fun that that to me says it all!

failing that just sit and moan to us guys, lol!

I am really pleased for you babes!  Where is it you actually doing it?  If you at the hub babes i'm on 2pm till 10  next week so will prob see you around!

No, I was doing it at Oracle, and paying 3 and a half grand for the privelidge to sweep the floor    So I thought I'd find another calling...fair enough for an apprentice who's getting paid-but I was paying thousands to do it!!!
Unbloominbelieveable.
