[quote=Anonymous]I have one and feel this way sometimes.  I'm in grad school so alternate between being in class/the hospital 3 days a week and being on break from school.  The breaks are definitely harder for me having DS full-time (although it is getting easier now that he's  19 months and talks, does independent play, etc.).  I think I was depressed for a while and let that take over.  I have to make the commitment to take him to classes/activities so he interacts with other kids/I interact with other moms.  We get together for lunch with friends/my parents who do not work normal 9-5 schedules or are retired.  
Once a week or every other week, I meet friends for dinner/drinks and DH is with DS.  
DH and I make sure we either have a date night or get together with friends at least once a month.  At least once a month we also make sure to do something with friends with DS along with us (none of our friends have kids).  This usually involves hosting a dinner party or going to a friend's house that has space for us to set up DS.

Just trying to make sure that I'm not "mom" 24/7 has really helped me and has made a huge difference in how I feel. [/quote]
