Are you always home alone as a homemaker?

It really has to be hard for you being alone and baby without him. I remember those days early on my last marriage. I am glad though that at least you can come on here and discuss, chat and to a sense speak to others. I am sorry you are not having your husband home with you more often and it is okay to vent because you do need to. I am sure if he could he would want to be home too. I hope life can somehow slow down a bit for you and he and finances still allow your family to be together more.

Well, count yourself very lucky. Hes a good father and husband. Takes good care of his family and hard working man. If he was around all the time maybe you would be gettint tired of him. You are still missing him and excited to see him when he comes around. Thats a good thing. I wish you all the best for you and your family.

hello ivy, I know how you feels dear. I also married a man who's always busy with work and always go to places and other countries due to work assignments. On our early years,within 2 years i always cry and feels alone and lonely. But later on i get used to it. Just keep yourself busy dear. Maybe you can asks your sister to come during summer,or your mother to stay for a month. Don't keep thinking that he is always away. Just think that,he is doing all those things for your future. Have a good day always

You sound like me mermaidivy. My husband is a workaholic and works even the few hours he is at home. It is more or less like being a single mother. I have to take care of myself, the house, all the other work and my kid who will be four this July. Taking her to school and bringing her back, going to the bank, taking care of all the work which has to be done at home etc. And my husband goes early in the morning and comes late at nights. But there is no specific time which he would come. Somedays, he comes early only to work from home. There have been some months, about more than half a year when I was left alone with my daughter in this city and my husband was working in another. We used to go visit him in the weekends and it was difficult taking care of my daughter alone. But I do have my parents and sister and all my relatives here in this city so that I can talk or visit them whenever I want to. And any help I need is close at hand. I know how you might feel because I have been alone with my kid in some other city where there is no help and no one to talk to.

Oh, your husband is missing a lot and i feel sorry that he has to work all the time and spends most of the time with work and colleagues than his family. Someday i hope he won't regret missing his son's first step or those wonderful moments of being a parent. Have you talked to your husband about this? I know the feeling of being alone and lonely not having your husband right beside you when you need him the most. Sometimes to raise a family, the husband has to make a lot of sacrifices. I do hope he will get a vacation soon and spend time with his family.

once i was in your position. that was when me and my husband are new as a couple. i also feel the same way as you do. as if i have no husband =) he comes home very late at night and goes to work very early in the morning. but that was when he works in the company, no time freedom. but now that he puts his own business, we are always together and takes care of our kids. good thing is that we pass that stage in our life that we almost have no time for each other and talk things out to be a better couple. i hope that someday, everything will be okay for you and your husband for the betterment of your family =)

i stayed home with my kids for 10 years and now i only work part time so i am home with them some of the time (they are now 14 and 17) but i like it when i am home alone because i have lots to kp me busy.

I understand how you feel. My husband works a night shift so when he is home he is asleep. It's not easy feeling like you are doing everything by yourself. It can be a hard feeling to get used to that is why I spend alot of time online. And sadly feel like a pest to people because you feel like you are stuck in these 4 walls with little interaction outside of your children and pets. I found a part time job and that has helped me feel less lonely and help with the income. However, that means less time with my spouse as well.... but we have to do what we have to do to pay the bills you know?

I can understand that it's not easy for you, but it does sound like he's a good husband and father. It doesn't sound as though he would be away from you, unless he had no choice. But, just because your husband isn't home as much as you want, it doesn't mean that you can't go out and do fun activities with your son, and meet new people and such.

I am a stay at home mom to my daughter. I also work from home. I would like to have another child as my daughter needs a sibling badly, and I want to have another baby as well. Our family does not live too close by, so it is us a lot as well. I don't mind it though. I love being at home, and taking care of my daughter and household. the main things is that there really needs to be another baby here, and I'm trying to reconnect with my friends, and make new ones as well, so it won't feel so alone.

It's a difficult situation. As no family in general. However, you must be patient. Your husband did all the work, for you and your child. If your husband is off and not working, you can take advantage of time with your husband well.

wow, no thinking twice i cannot survive with your situation, it is just that is not my type for a husband, i don't mind if we only have a modest house to live and enough food to eat or just enough money for our needs as long as we have a quality time together with my husband and as a family.

Beinga stay at home Mom this pretty much seems to sum it up. My husband is in the Navy and is usually gone for months at a time. I think it actually helps our relationship to a point. when he comes home its like a honeymoon all over again. The kids are always excited to see him and I just feel the stress melt away. My kids keep me pretty busy and I have my hobbies. Just cherish the moments you have with him and know hes doing what he can for your fam. Make sure to take time as a family though and get breaks. It can wear on a person doing the same thing day in and day out.

Is your husband a workaholic ? It can be upsetting. I would talk to him and ask if you could go with him in his trips. See his reaction.
