More time at home was nice, I’ll admit.
But nearing 8 months and not having been able to socialise with the wider family, go to the funky baby groups (wriggle and rhyme, sensory) and a sudden realisation a couple of weeks ago that compared to #1 he doesn’t have friends in his direct age group is starting to give me massive guilty feelings.
We’re privileged to be as secure as you can be work-wise, have close family nearby, all healthy and have a lot to be thankful for, but above all it feels like a shit time to have introduced someone to the world.
Edit - I know this sounds really self-obsessed. We’ll make it up to the little guy! I’m also all too aware some couples would give anything to be in this position- so forgive me!
