Help for Stay-at-Home Moms Who Feel Lonely

If you’re a Stay-at-Home Mom like me then you may agree when I say that it can get pretty lonely. I’m talking about lonely for adult conversation and understanding. My 11-month old twins can only say two words, Mama & Dada, so the conversations taking place in my home during the day are pretty much short and one-sided. 

I do have a wonderful husband who is interested in my day even if all I talk about is the newest character on Sesame Street or the latest issue on Dr. Phil. I do try (operative word: try) to stay up-to-date with current events but it doesn’t always work out. I do try (there’s that word again) to stay in contact with all my friends on a weekly basis but there isn’t always enough time. I try and try doing things for myself as I once did such as giving myself a manicure, taking a shower on a daily basis or doing something with the mop on my head (aka: my hair) instead of only throwing it into a ponytail. 

So while my precious angels were taking a nap one day, I decided to come up with ways that I can cure my loneliness without sobbing to my husband and making him feel like he neglects me. I can honestly say that he doesn’t. He works a full-time job and is taking two college courses per semester and his spare time goes to working on our newly purchased townhouse and our son and daughters. We do have time together but sometimes it’s just way too short and we all need more friends than just our husbands.
