Just quit my job to be a SAHM
Hi everyone, I was hoping that you could calm my nerves. I put in my two weeks at my job (which I hated anyway) to be a stay-at-home mom with my 14 month old. I have wanted this so badly. with my job and my commute, I don't get home until 7 p.m. and I have to cook dinner and get her fed and in bed by 8. I have had many breakdowns over the fact that I don't get to see her. And I feel like a bad mom because she rarely ever gets a bath, or when she has a diaper rash or something and I'm the last one to know about it...
Anyway, put in my two weeks, and instead of feeling relieved and excited, I'm absolutely terrified. My husband and I have worked out the logistics are staying home, like an allowance and my own bank account, etc. and I have put thought into getting out of the house everyday, filling the day with some activities and housework...
But now I'm terrified that he is going to end up not loving me anymore. That I will become unsexy and uninteresting to him.
Can you guys help with my anxiety? Is being a stay-at-home mom amazing? As it helped your relationship at all?
