After they become mothers

 

82{f08af400499f49ebebec43b71545de24d0cbb35d14a8bc084edd71717d793f40} of women say they are happier after becoming mothers but half of them say they are also lonelier. That makes sense as many new mothers (and fathers) become a little more isolated and focused on their baby rather than their social group. We moved to a new state just a few months before my daughter was born so my wife and I didn’t have much of a social group anyway and were even more isolated after our daughter was born. We quickly met a lot of other new parents and tried to stray active but having kids cn be a little lonely at first for some people. Did you ever feel lonelier after having kids?
