Hello! Being a mother of 2 young children left me with almost no time for my self. Also, not going to work (as the girl is just a baby) makes me feel like I have no personal life, or hobbies, activities just for myself. So I ask you: what hobbies do you have, what do you enjoy? What do you do for fun or just to relax?

I play on myLot, am learning a new site called Noise.cash and read a LOT.
If you read, I can give you an excellent site you can download free ebooks from. It's b-ok.cc You can download five free ebooks within 24 hours or, if you give them your email address, you can download ten free ebooks within 24 hours. (I've downloaded and read almost 400 ebooks from the site in about 2 years now.)
Reading is something you can do while taking care of a baby. I know I read a lot when I had a new baby.

Thank you, I will try the site and see if I manage to download anything. Although english is not my native language so I should find something easy to read. But from the answears I got by now readind seams most suitable with a baby...

@Luli_hope You may be able to find books in your language, but I'm not sure of that. And you're welcome..
Do you watch movies online? I know two sites that will let you watch movies for free, too.

The best thing you can do is be there for your kids. Read to them, play music, sing, do arts and crafts, gymnastics, go for walks, swim, etc….. The hobbies can come later.
I read, play tennis, pickle ball, golf, and my all time favorite is shopping.
When my kids were little, I read, played racquetball, volunteered in various organizations, and did a lot of laundry

Wow, it looks like you have a lot of time and you organize very well. My kids are not very patient. They won t just stand stil so I can read them or play in silence a game. They like going out, running, playing with other kids. But the weather and the times (pandemic) are not helping us.
Also I feel that in order to be creative with them and present in their life is imporant to have a life of my one. If I am happy and relaxed I can give them too the attention they need.

MyLot looks like a consistent activity. I wonder if it will get me too on the long time.

Hi Luli, welcome to my lot. Many people are like you. My life is between work and my family. My hobby change from reading books to reading all digitally. I also like music, still and always be. Dont worry children will grow up, then just enjoy these moments, cos it will never be back. Your hobbies can be back once children busy with their own
