Is this feeling normal?

Question

I know it’s so weird but I wanted to open up about it cause I feel this way a lot. Does any other female ever feel just as if they are worthless if they don’t have a job? I recently quite my job I’m going back to class starting in March. I stay home with my 1 and 2 year old right now taking care of them. But why does it feel like when I don’t work I feel like a useless human being. Like I have no purpose or just worthless? 
It would help if anyone cause give me some input on feeling this way :(

Answer

I think s humans (not necessarily as females), we have a need to feel useful and we want to contribute in a way that fulfils this. Whether it's by being a stay at home wife or mom (or father or husband) or working part time or working full time, we need to do whatever makes us feel good and useful.
I think a lot of people (again, not specifically females) feel bad when we're not contributing financially because it's largely ingrained in us to be financially independent and put money into the relationship. But at the same time, it's fine to just not do that for a while. Take a break, find a new path in life, etc. We're also humans that we need breaks, we stop enjoying our work, etc.
