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.
