[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know, OP, I must have moved to the wrong suburb too because my situation was identical to yours.  We lived in a neighborhood with big beautiful lots and houses...and unfortunately, it seemed I was the only mom my age in the area. Neighbors were mostly older and empty nesters, and the rest seemed to keep to themselves.  I did my best to get out each day, going to classes, mom's group events, walked the mall, trips to the park, etc.  It was isolating, boring, and lonely. I never really found any SAHMs that I clicked with, many were homebodies themselves.  It was a long few years. After much debate, we eventually moved closer in...and due to the increased housing cost, I decided to go back to work.  Much prefer things this way.[/quote]

OP here.  Thanks for sharing your story!  I can completely relate!  I wish we could move, but unfortunately my husband refuses so we are stuck here, but you are right, it is isolating and very lonely to live in an area with no sense of community and nothing to walk to.  I do work part-time and am looking for a second part-time job, but I probably won't go back to work full-time until my child is in Kindergarten.  It would be too hard and too stressful.  Anyhow, glad that your situation improved!  I am hoping mine will once my child starts school.[/quote]
