Do you ever feel depressed or unmotivated as a stay home mom?

Question

Answer

Sometimes. It just depends on how my daughter is that day. If she's exceptionally fussy and won't be calmed. Then yeah, it's a bad mental day. When she eats all of her meals and plays most of the day, it's a great day.

Answer

I don't mind the staying at home part (I'm technically not a SAHM because I work evenings 6-9pm and weekends) so being at home during the day is fine.. but I defo feel lonely. none of my friends bother with me anymore and I live in the middle of nowhere with no transport system and I can't drive:(

Answer

Yes! I was just talking to my husband about this last night. Some days just blur together and I feel like I’m just going through the motions to keep the kids happy and healthy. With summer coming, and school out, our schedule will be a bit more lax so I’m looking forward to that and hoping it helps.

Answer

I’ve been feeling down a lot

Answer

It’s just so hard sometimes, isn’t it? I feel like i’ve really struggled with friends and family understanding... especially with my more attachment based mothering style. My husband works really long hours and I feel like I’m so burnt out most days. I really want to move houses to get a fresh start but it’s just not possible right now. I love my daughter more than anything though and know these years will pass quickly. Trying to start a home business to suck up some of my mental energy.

Answer

One of the reasons I went back to work- hardest job in the world. Totally feel for you it’s very lonely x
