I've been lucky enough to be a stay at home mom for 9 years. Everything about it I enjoyed. I got a lot of quality time with my son. Once he started school I had alone time. For a few years I babysat for extra money. Everything was overall great. Now, as of recently I started working. Today was my 5th day. It's going great so far. I am enjoying what I am doing, I work good hours and make decent money. BUT I feel I have no time at home. I feel like all I do is come home, change into different clothes, cook dinner, clean up and it's time for bed. It's truly not like that.. it just seems that way. (My SO is very helpful if things need to be done too.) I think I just feel this way mostly because I had the whole day to do whatever I wanted or needed. Now I don't have that and I need to adjust to this new life. Any tips on how to make time not seem wasted? Or just tell me your experience that you had from staying at home to working.
