I received a called from my high sch friend on Monday. She complained that she felt lonely and asked if I want to accompany her to just walk around the blocks. We stayed nearby and hardly see each other. I told her I can't as I'm busy. She then started to tell me that she is just like someone without children and hubby. Which infact, she has a triplets boys. Now that they are 12 yrs old, they have their own life plus her hubby is always working late. She said she envy me for my singlehood.LOL. It is really lonely after you get married and have grown up children. Do you all felt that? I wonder though.

Yes her kids are 12. Now you know the blessing God give to you. Now with only your hubby bside you, you are so chotic, and wish for peace and quiet moment. Cant imagine if you are surrounded by kids... You will be more skinnier..lol.
Perhaps I can encourage her to join myLOT, at least she will have some friend here. Do you think this is good idea?

I do believe at a certain stage when you are married with children, you tend to feel lonely if you are being neglected. What your friend needs to do is to hook up some activities and meet new friends. She can take up courses to fill up her void. I think there are a lot of activities that we can do at our local CCs. She must also communicate with her husband to have a day of undisturbed couple time to appreciate each other like watching the movies, going for dinners, walk by the beach, to relive the old memories... That is what we are doing.... It gets pretty lonely yes.... but you have to fill those empty areas to make life more meaningful....

Agree with you. Perhaps my friend is in this state now. I suggested to her to take a half day off and go spend time with her hubby when she called me the other day. Yesterday, she called me saying that she will be going for a date with her husband today. She intend to go for a movie if her husband agree. Hope that her intention will be a reality. Ya, I will try to encourage her to take up some activities at the CC. Thanks ya.
