[quote=Anonymous]I get this so much. I was feeling really uninteresting about a year ago (also have young kids who have a hard time falling asleep alone). I recommend starting with audiobooks when you put the youngest to sleep. Get a pair of wireless headphones and the Libby app (free audiobooks through your local library). Pick a few titles to put on hold (check out the librarian recommendations section in your preferred genre). I find even having a book to talk about makes me feel more interesting/interested in life. And you may find a friend wants to read the same title. Podcasts are great for this otherwise "wasted" time too! Smartless is one that gives you insight into movies/entertainment. I find it helps keep me current on interesting shows/movies more than I otherwise would know about.

I was the first to have kids in my friend group. It's been interesting watching nearly all my friends go through this stage too. Give it a few years, and you won't be hearing nearly as much about interesting travel and concerts, etc. Instead you'll all be on a group chat talking about the latest stomach bug going around.  :lol: [/quote]
