It’s really hard during these unprecedented times. I’m a mum to an eight year old and I’m 40. It’s hard and tiring. Husbands lost his job. But we will pray for better and hopeful endings to the virus

Thank you, us lucky ones should be ok, I feel for those that are unwell and are no longer here. It’s so hard for my little girl, she loves being around other children. I might do a search for some other groups for her. She has some levels of anxiety and we don’t know anyone really. We live rurally and there are some children at the end of the garden, but they end up having a fight with her rather than being friendly, she must be so lonely. Facebook has never been so lonely like a graveyard. I have fifty friends but not real friends and they never talk to me. I have one friend I talk to occasionally not in this country though.
Thank you. We had to leave our last school cause she was being bullied. I know what that feels like, so does my husband. They called her odd and she got spat in the face and teachers shouted at her, other children just said they couldn’t be her friend cause the parent said so. But we can all start to make new friends when we return to some form of normality. It’s going to be hard for her going to school, my husband will have to be there for extra help as she will have a huge melt down. She don’t like school but hopefully she like this next one. Fingers crossed
Hi Juliet2020,
This whole thing has been so dispiriting and scary for everyone, hasn't it? I feel for you in your situation and I'm only amazed that you are as buoyant as you are. You can be proud that you've weathered the storm so far, so just hang in there. It's going to be a rocky road ahead, but keep doing what you are doing. You are one of millions of everyday heroes, world wide who are just getting on with what they have to do, but not liking life as it is at the moment, very much. Things will improve, little by little. Nothing stays the same for ever. Sending warmest best wishes to all three of you. 🙏
Hello Juliet2020 I am sorry to hear that your husband has lost his job due to this Covid situation.
That must be frightening for you both.
Your idea to search out some company for your daughter is a good one.
Are you in the UK ?
If so how about Brownies?
I know you said you live in a rural area, perhaps there is group that you could try your daughter at.
If you don't have transport maybe contact the Brownie group to see if they can help.
I have always lived in a quite remote area and when my children were young we found Brownies and Cubs such a great way for them to make friends.
Hopefully things will improve for you quite soon. Are you near to any family members.?
Living in rural locations can have both benefits and challenges and is perhaps a little more difficult for children.
We are here to support each other and sometimes it helps to bounce things off one another.
Best wishes
Ellie

Brownies is a great idea!
Many years ago I used to go to brownies and guides and I used to really enjoy going there doing things like working for badges like the Europe badge at guides!
I loved going to revels and camps as well with them!
It's always the way isn't it how these horrible things always come in the same blow!
Thank you to all for your comments. I could look into Brownies but I suppose with Covid it might not be on, then there’s the problem with my little girl, she has many issues and when it’s time to go back to school it’s going to be awful because she wants me with her the whole time, I can’t go to school with her. I might look into some therapy for her for children but again brownies uniform and bits and pieces be a cost and we still need to buy her new school uniform.
