Is it normal to bed so bored?

I'm 30 something years old, and counting, a mother of a beautiful 5 year old girl, married to a wonderful man, and I am recently unemployed. I don't even know where to start with how BORED I am.

All the days just blur together. I don't know how stay at home mom's do it. Ok so the house is clean, the laundry done, dogs fed, meals made, my daughters homework - done, and what on earth is there to do day after day?

I've picked up old hobbies, but even those aren't nearly as fun as they used to be and I surely don't want to do them all the time.

Times are tight, financially, now that I'm not working, but it's not like my family ever did a lot (even though my husband may feel different). I spend time with my sisters, my friends and go out, but I never feel like I have something to be excited about. I'm just bored to TEARS.

So when everything is fine what does one do to not be so bored?

    I feel stupid while posting this but reading or watching the news kept me going, especially technology. Going online discovering new websites and places of interest. social networking (esp twitter)

    Video games is a great filler! Seriously consider playing them. I'm 32 and I play them all the time. My parents are in their 50's and they play them all the time, too!

    If gaming isn't your thing then you might want to try finding a hobby that keeps your interest. I bet there are plenty if classes you can take from cooking, beading, stained glass making, scrapbooking, stamping, sewing, stitching..... really anything! Im certain you'll find something to occupy your time that also gives you joy if you just put yourself out there.

    I stayed at home w/my kids for over a yr.I know exactly how you are feeling, I feel the same way. I recently got a part-time job, that helped alot, I thought I was ganna go nuts I was so bored. I work at the least 20hrs a wk and bt that housework, homework,kids, husband,bathtime,dinnertime,and lets not forget laundry, and setting aside time for you and your partner, I really dont get that bored as I use to anymore.You said your budget was tight so that would be my advice for sure.Its normal not to get excited about everything you do but that doesnt mean its not passing time and that you dont enjoy it, hey we arent kids anymore, also my husband and I like to sit close and watch a movie together when we are bored and if you sit close enough together then there ya go you'll have something to do after the movie.

    Yeah - its a myth that the stay at home thing is for every mom - for some sure - but not all, probably not even most or many.

    Anyway, is there anything you can do to get yourself out & with adults - volunteer, take a course, anything?

    i dont know why parents dont try video games tbh wastes away hours and its fun. get xbox live or just buy cheap games and play em.

    maybe u could take an online course and get a job u love. Maybe go to the gym alot or buy gym equipment. Or you could watch films online just ype in on google watch movies and the first link has all new movies on it.

    Gl just find something u like
