🆘SAHM’s!!! I have questions!! 🆘

SAHM’s I have so many questions lol. I had my second 6m ago, almost 7, so I still have almost half my mat leave left. But my fiancé & I are trying to figure out the best way for us once I go back.

He wants me to stay home. It’ll be ridiculous sending 2 kids to day care. I’d basically be paying to work with not much leftover anyways. I wanted to go back at least part time. Even if I went back 2 days a week. One during the week one weekend (I’m a hairstylist so we’re not open Sunday). Then we’d only be paying for 1 day a week & that is manageable. Plus my oldest starts school September so then it’d only be 1 in day care which is no problem financially for us.

I’m just worried if I stay home, especially during this pandemic I’ve found it very difficult mentally because there’s not much I can do with the kids outside the house. & I’m used to seeing a bunch of people everyday & socializing. It’s a big part of my job.

1. Does it get lonely? My kids keep me busy, but I sometimes miss adult interactions

2. How did it feel leaving your career on hold for a while? I worked so hard building my clientele & I was at a good spot then I got pregnant unexpectedly again (my son is a major blessing I was told I couldn’t have more)

3. How do you socialize your kids, especially during Covid times?

4. Do you find it difficult to be financially dependent on someone after being independent for basically your whole adult life beforehand?
