i still feel so isolated. baby is nearly 1 1/5 yo, none of my close friends are even married yet - so even when i do vent to them i just feel like they flounder for something to say, i don't even want to talk to my husband b/c during the limited time we actually ahve alone together i just don't want to get into it. i haven't bonded with anyone in our mommy and me class and generally haven't made any close "mom" friends. i don't know where to turn - just feel so alone.

after a year and a half surely you must've met a couple of nice moms, either from the playground, various classes, or in your'hood. [ Reply | More

I felt the same way. Try to find even ONE mom friend you can stand--you'd be surpised how one outing a week will make you feel better. Otherwise, what about going back to work part time (that's what I did)? Maybe the FT SAHM thing isn't for you--and what you really want are FRIENDS not mom-friends, you know? [ Reply | More

Don't pressure yourself. Handle what you can--work, kids, family first. Friends will be easier to come by when db is in school. [ Reply | More

I was you. It is very isolating: unable to connect with other moms and it seems you're growing apart from your old ones. I know how it feels, and still haven't connected with many other new moms. But I agree that if you can find one other new mom OR can find even one your "old" friends that's willing to listen about your life as a mom without rolling their eyes, it will help. Just one. Coming to Urbanbaby also helped as well, 'cause even though I wasn't creating relationships I was sharing and getting feedback (and realizing that I really wasn't alone). Also agree with poster above that it will be easier to make new friends/connections as db gets older. Stay strong. You're not the only one who's been there. [ Reply | More
