I sort of know how you feel. I stayed home with my little girl for about 7 months. We moved to Birmingham in 2004 and I went back to work then. My husband and I are sharing a vehicle because mine finally pooped out. I work during the day and DH works in the evenings. SInce I'm not from here, the only people I know are people I've met through work.

Hmmm... Come to think of it, my husband is probably experiencing the same thing you do. (except that when I get home, he leaves for work) What area of town do you live in?

Dear J.. Please go to www.MOPS.org and see if there is a MOPS group that meets near you. Call the contact person and find out if they can arrange transportation to the meetings. If you live close to a public library find out when they have children's story times - and go. There are gatherings of moms at bookstores, play groups at area churches and MOPS groups or Moms Club meetings in several locations around the Birmingham area. Believe me, most new (or nearly new) stay-at-home moms feel shut-in and cut off, but reaching out to other moms (even sending out this request) is the best way to help yourself. If you don't already attend an area church, ask your husband to go with you to church. You will meet other moms and start to connect with activities and transportation opportunities. Look around your apartment complex, go for walks in the neighborhood and you will see others, like yourself. Say, "hello" and find out where they go to get out of the house. However you do it and what ever you decide to do, please make the effort - you will be so glad that you did.

Blessings,
D.

I am right there with you. My daughters are older than yours, but just a phone call could make a person feel better. My email is ____@____.com't laugh, bond is my maiden name. Hope to hear from you soon.

Okay girl, let's get together and hang out!! I know just how you feel! My husband works two jobs and I have a three year old son that I get to stay at home with...evvvery day =) I have so been through exactly what you are describing and it is miserable. I am 24 and most of my friends are still in college or just starting their careers and it's hard to relate to people that don't live in mommy world! My husband leaves at 6:30 in the morning and doesn't get home till 9:30 at night, so being alone is something that I completely can relate to. It's hard to make new friends and it can be really difficult to put yourself out there when you don't even know where to begin. Email me, we can talk more! ____@____.com
