I need a hobbie, any ideas?

[fortheloveofgoats]

So my mom and husband keep getting after me to get a hobbie. I have two dogs, soon to be two guinea pigs, two kids, a hubby, and we own our house (which means I do the yard work, and all the stuff inside as well) I babysit, and I am a stay at home mom. So if you know of something that is relaxing and doesn't take too much time, PLEASE let me know. Thank you and have a great day!

I am you with one kiddo.


WHY do they think you need a hobby?

and DO you want a hobby?


for me it is horses. I ride. All the time. And lately since my last horse passed from twisted gut about a year ago my hobby stopped.
Horses are my thing.



but if you want one, what do you like or want to learn? you have to go that way. WHAT would interest you in life? Cause no one can send you on a path without knowing your personal interests. Yea we lose that 'me' side when we have families. I know.



A new hobby. I love it. Seems so adventureous. So what do you enjoy?

Knitting is pretty relaxing. Time depends on the project, but five minutes of knitting here or there, and you eventually have a scarf!

Problem is, is that what's relaxing to one person can be awful for another person. A perfect example: So many people enjoy golf and find it relaxing...but I want to wrap a club around a tree over following a little white ball around.

I enjoy making jewelry myself.

Tell us a little bit about yourself and we'll see if we can help.

gardening? reading? drawing? journaling? It's hard to say like the previous poster said w/out knowing what you personally would enjoy.

They think I need one because I put all my time into everyone else, and nothing for myself. I do want one and yet I don't. I love to help others, and I have to have thing's clean and neat. So I am not sure if I will have time for one. I love animals, they make me so happy. I love helping people as well. Sorry to hear about your horse, it's so hard when a loved one passes.

Me too! I can't stand golf. My mom does the making of jewelry, and she had me try it, I don't have the patients for it. It is such a neat thing though, I wish that I could have the patience.

You could get into knitting? Or you could do dog carting with your dog(s). That way your dogs will help you do yard work/farm work?

I do the gardening in the summer, I do reading only when I am doing research on something (like the guinea pigs, I bought three books, and have web sites saved to my favorites) I used to draw when I was a teen, I was good at it then. Now it seems like I lost how to do it. I really can't do it anymore. I keep a journal for when I have days that I am feeling down. Animals and people are my thing. Oh I bake almost every other day for the my family. My mom and hubby want me to find something for me to do that's for me, and time away from the family. Even if it's going into my bedroom.

I tried knitting with my great g'ma, and she told me that it might not be my thing, and I agreed. I would love to, but my boys are older. Or does that matter?
