I feel like I don’t have any friends and I’m a SAHM.

we have like parent “friends” on the other side of the street and I always compliment people when I’m with them and I just genuinely hype people up because I celebrate them!

I think I overshare a bit, like sometimes I’ll tell them I’m thinking of moving and I can tell it bothers them or whatever.

But overall, I truly feel like I can be a good friend.

I can tell the one neighbor stopped hanging out with me because when they came over I guess her husband was drinking and driving going home weeks ago after his friends house or whatever and she found it out. And it clearly made my husband and I uncomfortable and she reemed out her husband in front of us and I said “you know I don’t agree with it but let’s just move on as I’m sure he didn’t think about it he’s a good guy ” (truly I was trying to move past the argument in my house)
And she’s like “you’re celebrating it!” And I said no I’m not I’m just trying to move past this, you guys are great friends … blah blah blah. I also think they’re alcoholics. But that’s a story for another day. That doesn’t affect my kids and us all hanging out and playing together.

And then it was over.

It’s just so infuriating. I feel like my kid is losing friends because of me.

Then my other friend and I stopped hanging out because her fiancé was cheating on her for over 2 years and she took him back same month. Yeah not ideal but we would all hangout, and honestly after he lied to all of our faces and had a relationship with another woman for that long, it kind of makes it hard for us to feel like we can all just pickup. She was bawling to me and going on and on.

I can’t tell if it’s me at this point. I can tell because that happened with my neighbor it’s like now they all won’t hangout with me or my kid.

I think part of the issue is age ranges. Like I’ve mentioned my mortgage payment before out of annoyance with how high it is and they all like looked at me weird like they were judging me. It’s because they bought their homes like 10-15 years ago. I’m just an open book.

Is it me? Lol.

Hi everyone we are visiting to look at homes next month. I am a SAHM. Here in NY kids do not play outside hardly ever and it really varies.

In the masterplanned communities like rivertown, shearwater, silver leaf , etc. are kids out playing often on the playground, etc?

My son really wants friends. He is super social.

Thank you!

Have a 5 yo and 3 yo. Is it a bad idea to do Legoland in mid june with the heat? Even if we go first thing, back mid day for nap/swim, then go back around 530-6ish?

Just wondering if it’s even worth it. My son has been watching a ton of videos on YouTube and I would love to take him, but I don’t want the trip to suck lol.

If not we are thinking about doing the Jacksonville zoo/ beach trip instead.

Thanks!

I have no clue what to do. I don’t have a problem with technology but it’s so bad my son if we are at a friends house one thing will happen with his friend (for example he wanted a turn with the basketball) and he’ll cry saying “I want to go home and play x”

I don’t want him living this unhealthy lifestyle. He will lie constantly and say “my leg hurts, my neck hurts, my back hurts” so he can sit and play video games. (The game is wobbly life he likes)

I just don’t know what to do. I don’t see anything wrong with gaming but it’s at the point it’s robbing enjoyment from other things in his life. He doesn’t want to go to the zoo because he wants to play his game.

I want to take it away, but he hasn’t done anything inherently wrong, but as a parent I can tell it’s robbing experiences from him.

What would you do? I used to just say no games until it’s dark out and then in the summer he would only be on it a half hour hehe.

But on the other hand, he will go on YouTube and just watch kids playing those games. My little one likes YouTube to watch blippi so I don’t want to delete it, but I don’t know what to do.

Plz help lol.

Live in NY we hate how cold it is. Literally the weather is terrible.

Put an offer on a home in NC and I’m shitting a brick. My kids have a great life they’re little and love their friends and people around them.

Now I’m second guessing but I’m on the hook in the contract.

Did you get worried moving? Did you shit a brick having them leave family. I’m so scared.

My mom is in tears and I’m a stay at home mom. Nothing is making us move. I just like warm weather.

Family of 4 husband works fully remote. Moving away from family here in NY.

We are looking for a better quality of life. Nice schools for the kids, a community feel, warm weather….

What do you think?
