SAHM VENTING SESH

3 days straight of a crabbing 13 month old is enough to make me want to start working again. No one talks about the dark, difficult days of being a stay at home mom. I feel under appreciated and just drained of all of my energy. I honestly feel like my feelings and how much I need a break just gets put aside by everyone because I stay at home with the baby so everyone just always assumes that it’s some kind of vacation. It’s far from it.

I’m exhausted and in dire need of week all to myself because giving yourself to a tiny human 24/7 is the most draining thing I’ve ever done in my life and there’s no such thing as a break when you’re the #1 caretaker all the time.

My husband thinks it’s easy so when he’s home I don’t do anything 🤷🏼‍♀️ guess who starts complaining about having to take care of a baby, clean up their mess, make food, etc?? HIM..this is a constant battle since my husband doesn’t fully realize just how hard it can be. But I have no shame being selfish to teach him a lesson! He wants to complain and no appreciate what do then he can do it himself!

I absolutely felt this way and I went back to work 3 days a week and it was the best decision I ever made. My child absolutely loves daycare and I get much needed time to use my brain and talk to adults. It’s wonderful. I never thought I’d be happy to go back to work.

I've been a stay at home mom most of my mother hood. Only job I really had I got robbed at gunpoint point. 😬 I have a 5 yr old boy, 3 yr old boy and a 1 yr old girl. Plus my husband is military so he works alot. So I'm also the housewife. He helps when he can but boy. I miss my mom being down the street instead of states away. It's so mental draining. I never go out because I'm outnumbered. I haven't found my center yet. There is only one place here that I can go where all my kids can run and I don't have to chase them lol.
