I have one child who will be 2 in May. I still struggle with being a SAHM. I worked full time before he was born and I’m still not used to this new life. I loved contributing financially and using my brain in different ways when I worked. I also love helping my son learn and grow, but the constant toddler activities drive me a little crazy.

I love and adore everything about my son; however, I still feel so isolated most days. My husband is supportive in whatever i want to do, but I have so much anxiety when thinking about putting him in childcare so that I can work again. Also, I do feel so lucky to have the luxury to be a SAHM, so if I do choose to go back to work, I would feel like I’m picking that over my sweet boy. It also feels silly to return to work since my husband and I planned to try for baby #2 this summer.

I don’t know if a second baby would make me feel like I’m in an even deeper hole than I am now. My self worth is non-existent and I’m just a little lost. Any others who feel the same? Any advice? What has helped? Thanks to any mamas who can offer support. ❤️
