[quote=Anonymous]Are YOU happy OP? Are you comfortable being yourself? Put aside your critical female relatives and your husband’s weird midlife crisis about some Instagram version of white suburban motherhood and ask yourself what YOU want.

Do you have friends? Hobbies? Do you have neighbors and acquaintances to chitchat with at school events? 
Do you have specific PTA moms or “popular” parent couples at your kids’ school that you are thinking of or are you just imagining a character someone plays on their FB posts or IG stories? What do you imagine is different about their lives that you want? Do you want to get invited on girls trips or wine nights? Do you want to socialize more as a couple with other couples? Do you want your husband to find you attractive and exciting?

There are ways to seek what you are missing that don’t involve becoming minivan Barbie - but you need to articulate what you are missing. If you just try to do the nails and hair and outfits, it won’t make your like easier. It will make it harder or uncomfortable because you are forcing yourself to be something you are not. Pick one or two things that help you feel more confident. You don’t have to be bright and bubbly. You can just be friendly. [/quote]
