I think you should develop your own hobbies and interests and form your own circle.
Being home alone is boring. It's just watching TV, and watching it for a long time can be annoying. Alone, it doesn't matter what you eat. If the child is at home, he or she will be very excited to go to the market to pick some of the child's favorite dishes, cooking seriously, waiting for the child to come back. Time flies when you have something to do. If you stay home alone and have nothing to do, time passes very slowly. Feeling that life has lost its fun and is not interesting. Always staring at the phone, watching Taobao, after a few more times to buy clothes, after a few more times to receive delivery. Life is still the same. I think you should go out and see the outside world. You don't have to buy anything, just look around and watch the crowds, and you'll be in a good mood.
Also, I think you should develop a hobby of your own. The child is growing up, has his life, his circle. You've been working so hard for so long, and have worked so hard for so long, it's time for you to have a life of your own. Think about what you've always wanted to talk about, you could learn calligraphy, or painting, or learn an instrument, or learn to dance.
I know an aunt who is also home alone, and at first when I first met her, she would sit in a kiosk downstairs in her neighborhood almost every day, cross-stitching. Other people with children next to chat, she sometimes say a sentence or two, more often than not, they are embroidering their own embroidery. At noon, she has a meal alone and takes a nap afterward. In the afternoon, she also continues to cross-stitch. In the evening, she would come out for square dancing.
She has her teammates now, and once I went to her house as a guest. She took out photos and showed them to me, saying that some stores had opened and invited their teammates to dance. I listened to the tone of her voice, the whole person's state is very different, the spirit is very good. So do something you want to do and form your own circle. You can find someone to nag about when you have nothing to do.
