Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone found childminding really lonely at times or if its just me.

I moved to Northampton 9 years ago and fell pregnant pretty much straight away so didn't get a lot of time at work to create strong friendships before I went on mat leave, I was then a stay at home mum for 4 years until I became a childminder. I've never been very good at making new friends due to being bullied at school so haven't created many friendships, I talk to people at groups we attend but thats it. so most days until my children and husband get home my conversations are limited to babbles from babies!!

Do any of you guys ever get a bit low and wish you actually 'went to work' and interacted with adults?

I know this post sounds really sad and pathetic but i just feel so fed up
