Passing time when MIL living with us!

Invite friends home, do potluck so, go for walk wid baby, wid friends. Spend some time daily outside home.

 

Why cant you go for walks? Its much safer and easier to go to nearby parks or libraries abroad than in India. Google places near by to you, go for walk everyday with your baby. Its good for your baby too. Download e-books of your interest and read them when baby is sleeping or playing. Get free courses online that you can do, this will come in handy for your future too.

 

My suggestion...the first thing is to keep yourself mobile

If the H office is not too far, you can pick up/ drop him so you can have a car. If it is too far, ask H if he can participate in rideshare programs. https://rideshare.org/
Check this page for a good match.

If this is too much of a hassle, then maybe once every week or every 2 weeks, H can rent a car just for a day.

The key is start taking slow steps towards having mobility

 

try watching youtube- for your favorite subjects- like cooking, beauty, health or any studies for that matter.
Listen to pod casts. During the day especially when DH leaves for work and ur with baby, spend maximum time in the kitchen cooking for urself and baby. After that for 2-3 hours, play with baby, read and watch what you like on internet and around 4ish go for walks nearby with baby. I tend to cook early during the day around 3pm if I am not working, then evening time I spend with DH

 

Work on your body and mind. Buy weights like 5 lbs. do exercise, do yoga and meditation, it can take 2-3 hours if u can invest that much time. Read baby center articles by registering there , so u can raise baby without much advice from other prople.

Next thing work towards your future career, when baby gets 3 plus years or whatever age u feel comfortable and with valid work permit what u would want to do? Learn as much u can with fixed timings
