Do you get frustrated when you have to be at home for most of the day?

Can't you plan ahead and take the car? Make it a special day where you go to the pet store and maybe for an ice cream or something. I don't blame you for feeling anxiety about staying in so much. It isn't good for you or your daughter. I think if your husband understands this perhaps you can work something out. There are people who share the ride to work too.

Unfortunately there aren't any bus stations where I live. There is a taxi service but it cost $10 just to drive to the other side of town. I'm not sure if that is the norm. But I think in big cities it doesn't cost that much. I have a young daughter and we use to go for walks and play outside everyday for a little bit. But now the weather is getting colder. I just think that it would be nice to be able to have the vehicle to go get different items we need, take her for a walk at the mall or take her to the pet store. That way it breaks up the day instead of having to find things to do at the house all day long. I feel that I'm the opposite like I have anxiety from staying in the house all day especially when my daughter has a bad day.

Yes I agree with you. I'm still working on getting out of my current situation. My mood though lately has been a little better. I think sometimes I get depressed because I have to stay inside all day and by the time my husband gets home and we have supper it's late to try and do anything outside. I look forward to the winter being over and nice weather coming again.

Yeah having two vehicles would definitely be better. Especially if something happens to this one we would be in a lot of trouble since it is our only vehicle. I hope that either I can get a full time job or wait until we get our tax money back and get another one. I will feel so much better when we have two vehicles.

I hope that whatever your family situation requires you are able to keep doing that. I hope that I will be able to find a full time job hear in the near future. It would be so much easier to save money and take care of the things that need taken care of with more income coming in. Thanks

I agree that having hobbies helps. For me though I have a young daughter and I don't have too much free time for hobbies. I'm working on spending more time with her and doing activities with her. But trying to have activities all throughout the day to keep her entertained and busy requires some money to be spent on craft items, etc. We use to go outside and play everyday but now that it's getting colder that's not an option often. But for individuals who have the flexibility to do what they want staying at home doing what they like wouldn't be bad at all.

I try to do different type of work online like working on mylot and other sites that I make a little extra money from. Take care of things around the home, and plan activities to do with my daughter throughout the day. She is a year and a half. You can understand how I feel about being at home. I think it would be nice to be able to break up the day by doing something outside the house. It would make the day not feel so long. I'm with my daughter from the time she gets up until she goes to bed. Then I go to work. That makes for a long day for the both of us being in the home that long. And by the time my husband gets home she's too tired and starting to get cranky for us to try and go do anything then. I'm hoping to get more work so that we can get a second vehicle. We really do need one. It gets kind of depressing staying inside all the time. Especially with winter around the corner.

Yeah I understand what you mean. I only work part time and so all day from the time my daughter gets up until the time she goes to bed I'm with her and then I go to work. That makes for a long time of trying to plan different activities to keep us both busy. I think it would be so nice to have a second vehicle to break up the day. That way we could go get things we need, stop at like the pet store and then enjoy the rest of the day at home. We just need some more and different things to break up the days activities so they don't go by so fast.

Yeah just seeing the inside of the house all the time can drive me crazy. I think that it would be nice to have a second vehicle so that we can at least have the option of going somewhere. Not that I would want to be gone all day but it's just nice to be able to break up the day. I'm home from the time my daughter gets up until the time she goes to bed. That is a lot of time to try and plan different activities to keep us both busy. Then I go to work. Sometimes at our local library they have an hour for story time,music,etc. It's just nice to be able to go to things like that,it makes the day not feel so long for the both of us.
