HI, My husband just joined the military last year after college. So I was stunned this is all so new and I am a new mom to boot. Luckily I have my son to fill my days. I am very bored and miss my family and everyday life. I am greatful to be with my husband, but I feel like a prisoner in our own home while he's at work. I just get sick of being by myself. There is only so much I can do to keep busy with the baby. I just don't know how to met new people.

I don't know how old your son is or where you are, but I have a 4-1/2 month old and I'm pretty new to the military life too. I used to work but now I'm a stay-at-home mom and I was very bored - not knowing anyone here in Dayton. I had to start thinking of the house as my office and my projects are laundry, dishes, etc. I have also started going to the Moms group at my church. They meet once a week and I have a great group of moms (some stay home, some work). We have a Mom's Night Out once a month. Another way to meet people is to go to the Family Support Center on base (it's the AFRC for the Air Force) and they could tell you about moms groups and play groups. I know some people who have really little ones that go to play groups just for the conversation.

There are so many things you can do, I was the same way after I had my first son. It is very easy to seclude yourself so try not to let it happen. Go out! To the park or the beach if you are near one, let your little one explore, or to the gym where there is childcare, join a baby gym for your baby and you, it is a good way to meet other moms, and there are also mom groups if you are interested in that sort of thing, you might get introduced to one of those through church or a local YMCA.
