i am just wondering if it is normal to feel really down at least three to four times a week about your life i am a stay at home mum and things just feel really repetative and useless sometimes does anyone else feel like this
I understand exactly how you feel. It's normal. I think every housewife goes through this eventually. Try to remember you are NOT useless. How would your family be without you? You can try picking up a hobby that gives you 'you' time. An affair is bad advice. First of all, it's not fair and second, it won't help. Good luck!
This comment isn't for the OP, but I'm totally against stay at home anybodys. It's so bad for the mind it's not even funny, unless of course it's just for an year or two after having a baby. You're really curbing your options and that's dangerous. Putting all your trust in your husband/wife to make you financially stable is scary, especially now that divorce is so prevalent.
Normal. Some bored housewives will have affairs with men and sometimes, even with other women.
If you have kinky desires, perhaps you should try S&M? You could go see a dominatrix if your man doesn't want to do that for you...
Play video games.
Go for walks or ride a bike around where you live.
Learn how to play a musical instrument.
Take up art.
(etc.)
I am a stay at home wife too but with no children to keep me busy. It's normal to feel that way.
thanks guys i have actually joined the gym and am feeling really good but now my car has shat itself so i am feeling a bit down anyone got a spare bit of green he he he
Same. Volunteer somewhere and make a difference . Go take a new gym class you've never taken before. Go try a new restaurant/cafe. Foster a shelter animal. Take a local craft or cooking class. Just make time for you once in a while and do something new instead of sitting watching tv. Get the most out of your life you're not useless
Being a stay at home mum can't be easy. You have routine imposed on you by the necessities of kids. I think it's really important to build in some "lack of routine" for yourself before boredom turns to resentment. Whether that's evenings out or meeting other stay at home parents and doing things with the kids, it's important to get some adult conversation and stimulus into the day.
