I know how being a Mom can be so overwhelming, and yes it changes so much, but its a welcome change.  Is there a Mommy and Me class you can take where you live, or do you have any neighbors with kids, or maybe you can take him to the park for some fresh air and there might be some other young mothers there? I am lucky that I have friends that have children, its kinda of funny tho cuz we try to get together without our kids so we can have some girl time!

I always wished that my friends and I would have babies at the same time.  Didn't happen.  I beat them all to it by having my first at 22.  Which isn't that young these days anymore!  Most of my friends are across the country now anyways, and only one of them have a baby now whom I've never seen.  It's terribly lonely.  Not only do you miss your hubby during the day, but you miss your girl time.  It's nice to be able to get together with other moms your age with their kids, both so you can have a friend to talk to and usually the kids can entertain themselves pretty good.  And girl time is great when the kids are around, but you need just girl time too!  You have to get out of the house from time to time and take a break.  Mom is a 24/7 job and even your hubby doesn't work THAT much!  That's what is so great about cafe mom, you can find other moms on here in your area and have some fun every once in a while!
