Hi,

I am Uma Chandrasekar New Member of this Forum. I am a Home Maker. I am having a problem of killing my time. Apart from doing my cooking and other Household work I have ample time I love to see Computer. The whole day I spent my time in Computer. But sometimes I feel depressed that I am not able to go and work. Because I don't drive. I stay in Canada where no relatives are there my daughter 23 yrs and husband both of them go for work. I was also working all these days but my daughter nowadays not allowing to go for work. I feel left alone in the house from Morning 8 to evening 8. How to kill my time please help me.

Hi too uma, maybe you should post question like this on properly topic.
Well, maybe you can try gardening, have a pet, reading a book (not just from computer), or maybe you should make a social gathering at your home (doing something with other really kill your leisure time :)).
Give it a try..

Greetings and WELCOME to the site, Uma!

Although what you posted in Introductions was an introduction for yourself, it goes beyond just being an introduction because your presenting some sort of need that you have that would be better to be addressed in a forum area other than Introductions, where the purpose is basically for people to introduce themselves and not ask questions and for others to welcome them to the site.

So, I decided to move your question to this forum area, in order for your larger issue that you have, to get noticed more and addressed the best.

Is not being able to drive the only reason that you can't do something in order to make a living for yourself and/or to do something to help you to realize your own worth because of what you do and how you spend your time, please?

Thanks!

If wasn't the problem I was going say do volunteer work at a hospital or something. If you like kids maybe you can become a child care provider.

I am home due because I am on paternity leave from my job and I be bored out my mind. I kill time by watching movies, playing with my dogs, listening to music, baking, going for walks, etc. I also exercise. Exercising is good for you and it increases your mood and can keep you from being depress. Also, I make clothes and it keeps me from being bored and gives me something to do. Right now I am making a dress for my daughter to wear to her Christmas dance and then I am going make some new drapes.

What are some things that you like to do or something you always wanted to take up but didn't have the time?

One last question what do you mean when you say " I was also working all these days but my daughter nowdays not allowing to go for work"? I think working even part-time would be good for you. If you can't get around due to not having a car then do something that you can do from home or do they have public transportation for you to get around? If not, childcare is a job that you could do from home and it's in great demand. One child would be enough and this is a job from many that your able to do at home.
