Are you ever just bored?

[Harmony08]

Like really really bored

[cyclamen]

Probably, if I had time to be... lol.  I'm too much of a spaz for my own good, though.

Are you bored?

Edit: nvr mind I read some of your PPs.  you don't sound bored, you sound overworked.

[cyclamen]

Pff.. I'm just confused. See, spazzy.

[applecider]

Yes.  Hence why I spend so much time on the internet.  (not sure if that's the proper use of hence or not. :) )

[mom2happy]

Never

[mommariffic]

Honestly? No, I don't really get bored. There's always something to read, or think about, or whatever. 

Overwhelmed? Yes..but not bored

I get bored. It is generally related to not being able to do what I want and having to do other things. Sometimes it is the monotony and routine of my life that gets boring. Overall I enjoy my days and I find ways to entertain myself but not every day is bliss.

I'm bored...  And lonely and depressed (single mom).  In many ways I think I would rather be working (if I could get a good job that was rewarding).  BUT, I'm not ready to send my ds to daycare.  I am going back to school in September and I'm really looking forward to that.  I'm trying to enjoy this time because I know it will be over before I know it and then I will miss it.

This is me.  I'm never unoccupied enough to get bored.

  There is also the rare day where DD is at preschool, DS is sleeping and all the cleaning etc is done. Then I tend to find myself a little bored but I try to immerse myself in something fun then. I think a good part of my boredom also comes from being sooo tired (I'm 37+6wk preg) that I don't have the energy to do anything but the basics, but I want to do something, if that makes sense.

I haven't been bored since the internet was invented (I'm old, I used to get really bored before that!)  Nowadays I have to limit my computer time so I don't neglect the laundry, dishes, bills, etc.

I was starting to get bored. I have one daughter, who is mellow and easy going and happy, and our life had gotten pretty routine.  So I decided I would go back to school (online) for my Master's, and right after I was accepted to the program I found out I was pregnant! So I don't think I will be bored for quite a while.....

Yes. I get really really bored. A lot lately. It's not that I don't have stuff to do- I have tons of housework and childcare to do but I still feel just bored. I think for me it is mostly being lonely and in need of adult interaction and also I just need to do something fun. But I can't really even figure out what would be fun at this point.

This is EXACTLY how I feel!! There is loads that needs to be done, but I'm just not motivated to do the housework and I'm tired of playing pretend, peek-a-boo, hide & seek, etc. It's better when we can get out of the house more, but with all of the snow we've been getting, we've been in a lot.

Yes, I find myself getting bored especially when I only have one little one at home. I wasn't so bored last year before ds 5yrs started kindy. I also had a couple of babies I was keeping part time and I certainly wasn't bored....too busy. Now I am down to one baby part time along with my own little guy and although I appreciate the extra free time....yes I'm finding myself bored again. But I'm baking bread today (haven't done that in years). So I think I just need a new routine of some days at home, some days out, cleaning days, baking days.......Otherwise I find myself on MDC too much and that is a clear sign that I am bored.

[Ldavis24]

I'm bored right now!

So bored.

Trying to figure out how to make some money and still be a SAHM. It's not going well.

I know there are things I could be doing (laundry I guess) but ever since winter started and we've been stuck inside a lot with no vehicle to go anywhere I feel totally bored and trapped half the time.

I am hopeful that once it warms up and we can play outside all day like we did last year my boredom will disappear.

[applecider]

Yeah, I could do all the housework in the world and still be bored.  Housework is boring.  Wish I could get all zen-like about it though!

This is me exactly.  I know there are things I could do.  I could clean.  I could cook.  I could surf the internet.  But those things are not satisfying to me.  I want to talk about politics or gender roles or something that makes me *think*.  Or play music.  Or write.  not really things that I can do with a toddler in tow.

I also don't have many friends who are home during the day, so I can't just call someone up and hang out. 

I am amazed at how bored I get now.  I need a hobby...or six.

I don't get bored when DS is in bed. I have lots of hobbies the internet is endlessly entertaining. Trying to sit down and play a game geared for 2 year olds, or watching dora the explorer bores the crap out of me.

Yes. This is me too. Add a uber dose of restlessness in there too, though.
