So my husband goes on a football trip every year with his friends for a few days. This year they went to Arizona. No girls allowed...its just a guys trip so I am at home by myself with our baby girl. I know I shouldn't be mad or jealous but I am. I never get the chance to even go out to dinner or do.much of anything. I love being a stay at home mom but it gets lonely and wish I could go somewhere too!

Being alone at home doing daily chores everyday makes us bored. To encounter that boredom, you may go shopping or go somewhere with your daughter. You don't have to get mad / jealous if you were left behind with your husband, just widen your understanding to his profession. Behind your knowing, your husband has plan to date when he's back. Think positive and be happy always! :)

It's not his profession. He went there to watch a football game with his friends.

oh! my apology for my misunderstanding. It's normal for us as a woman to think if his really with him but if you really trust your husband, you don't think anything. Have a great day!

Hello, kemak28! We share the same sentiments. My husband just usually goes with his friends without me. I think there was only one time that I did go out with him together with his friend and his friend's wife. I sometimes feel bad when he has to attend their High School reunion and he wouldn't even bother to ask me if I wanted to come. I am also a stay at home mom for the past 5 years. Although this is what I wanted so I could give focus on my family and not rely on helpers, I still wish my husband and I could have some time to have fun.

I'm sure there are a lot who shares the same sentiments. Well, if you get lonely, just spend your time at MyLot. I am sure you wouldn't even miss your husband much once you hook yourself for more than 2 hours reading discussions and commenting on them. My laptop has been my companion for the last couple of years...

Sounds like you know how I feel. I know once our daughter gets older maybe we can get a babysitter and go and do things together. I don't know many stay at home moms so it gets lonely during the week sometimes.

Hmm well if he gets to do this every year why dont you take a few days and do the same thing. There should be no reason that he can do it but you cant. He could watch your children for a few days so you can go just like you have to do when he goes.

I don't have many people I would go on vacation other then him and he would have to take off work to do it. I'm just hoping for at least a girls night out at least and he can watch the baby.

Don't be jealous about your husband. He is going there with reason and have faith with your hubby. That's normal feeling but go beyond to that feeling is not good...

I think you can also go out when there's a chance. Of course you can choose to go with your female friends too, so you won't get lonely and feel alone. Staying at home all the time must be boring, so no wonder that you're jealous. I don't think your husband will prohibit you from going out for fun with your friends too just once in a while, and your husband can take care of your baby girl when you're going out for a change.

Does he have a regular work schedule? If so, I would start going on while he is home. Even just going off and doing things on your won - getting your hair cut, treating yourself to coffee and treading a book, or just going for a walk.
