Need advice for introverted homebody SAHM


I am a SAHM to my 14 months old son and I will be until he will start nursery school when he turns three, then I will work part-time. As the title suggests I am kind of an introvert without friends and my hobbies mostly consist of videogames, cooking and watching movies/shows. My only friend is my husband, who works and comes home at about 17:30-18:00, so basically I am alone most days parenting my son who usually goes to bed at 18:00. My mother and mother-in-law visit once per week and spend a few hours with me and my son.Some days I am struggling to fill the days with my son. We go to a mother-child group once per week and I kind of force myself so go out of the house once a day to the playground, grocery shopping etc. to give my son a bit of outside time. I play with him, read to him (at least until he looses his short attention span) and I try to get some household duties done, which I am not always successful (when he is teething he can be a whiney mess who gets in the way of doing anything household related). He is a sweet child which never gives me much trouble and I am thankful for that. I often think that I can not give him enough though. As maybe many moms can understand he now is a little boring to be around, of course it is his age and I know that.Daycare is not an option because I do not earn much when I work and the daycares in our part of the town are quite bad, also I think that it can be a good thing for my little one to stay with mom for his first three years of life.I do not have a specific question, maybe just an advice to handle things better or just reassurance. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2nUYjq9
