I'm use to changing environments and I worked a job that constantly had me traveling, locally, but always moving and talking to different people. Now I stay at home and it is just the baby and I. I go crazy if I can't find a babysitter on the weekends. Even if I don't go anywhere I still want somebody else to take on the responsibility. I told my fiancee that I was going to need a nanny if I had any kids and he didn't take me seriously. Now I am sitting here depressed because I just want to get away> I would rather work 80 hours a week than have to spend half that time stuck to one person. How do I slow down and enjoy the younger days before the real headaches come.
I completely understand what you are saying. I felt the same way after with a great career & living in an urban area. Now we are in the country with 2 small boys & I stay at home. I do have to say that joining a gym that has a daycare is truly helpful. Even if you don't feel like working out, go get a magazine and sit in the hot tub. Finding like-minded Moms helped too. I live in an area that there are a few ladies with a past life similar to mine. They are such a great outlet. I must say that I went out and got a part-time job with a cool company after my 2nd child and it was a logistical nightmare (daycare/sick kids/vacation time). My plan is to go back to work when my youngest is in 1st grade (I know now that there is light at the end of the tunnel). First and foremost don't feel ashamed of your feelings because there are many of us like you. I love my kids but I also love loving myself. Go to the spa, treat yourself and best wishes

Don't think about what you're missing. Instead think about what your child is gaining. Don't forget, you can do some local traveling with kids too. Everyday you can go somewhere different whether its a park, or a store, or even a friend's house. Once they get older, then the real adventures begin and you can do so much more fun things. Just take one day at a time and relax and have fun.
For many months, I would walk around Target. I think the employees thought I was nuts. It was just great!...
Get out. go for a walk, join a gym that has childcare, go to the mall, the park, Target. You will interact, probably meet other moms and your baby will get a change of scenary too.
I too have a hard time being at home with my children all the time. I know I am a super mother, but I sometimes need a break! I found a small job that got me out of the house and able to talk to other adults for 13 hours a week. I get the break that I need and my kids get to play with other children without me at daycare. It has helped my children become more independant and more comfortable around others. It also allows them to do activities that I am not willing to do all the time (like finger paints). You may want to look into joining a mom group in your area. Sometimes just finding another mommy that you could switch babysitting will help. I sometimes have my hubby take the kids while I get a coffee and read a magazine at the local bookstore. Just keep in mind that the time that you are with your child is important. I understand the frustration, but the time goes by so quickly. Sit back and plan an activity everyday. Say like Monday is the day we go to the park. Tuesday we go to the mall. Wednesday we visit friends and family. Thursday is the grocery store. Friday is open for fun stuff like the zoo, park, or my daughters fave... Build A Bear. Make an effort to leave the house once a day. I promise that your days will fly right by and everyone will be happy! Good Luck!
I'm not sure how old your child is but have you considered that you might be suffering from post partum depression? Having a baby can be both overwhelming and depressing in the best of circumstances. I would go and see your doctor and see if indeed you are suffering from post baby blues. Good Luck!

I hate to say it but you seem like a prime candidate for a mommy and me group. women just like you who are bored out of their mind at home by themselves. Talking to other woman who "get it" will help!
Instead of looking at it like you are trapped look at it like a blessing that you are able to spend so much time with your baby. Before you know it she will be grown and you will be wishing you could be with her all the time. Instead of staying in the house take your baby and get out. I am a stay at home mom of three and it can be overwhelming and depressing at times. Take your baby to the park, the mall, go to the library, and other places that you enjoy. Go get your nails done and put your baby in the stroller. When the baby is sleeping go take a bubble bath to relax. And if you really need a break as your fiancee to watch the baby you will be back in 30 minutes. Hang in there!
