Is it ok to hate being a stay at home mom?

Its definitely ok. I been on leave since April and my man asked me if i just wanted to stay home. Absolutely not its not for me. I like working. Being in this house is driving me crazy

Absolutely! It’s not for everyone. I worked with a girl who couldn’t handle being a sahm she lost her mind lol we had about a month out of work unexpectedly and she hated it. She was an amazing mom and amazing teacher she just hated being home all day

Same, going absolutely insane from boredom and doing nothing all day everyday. I can barely get things done because my baby doesn't like being worn or stay in the bouncer/swing too long before wanting to be held. I just have enough time to wash bottles and that's it. I'm currently trying to figure out this issue and what to do.

Yep. As a SAHM of a two year old and the baby, it does get a little easier when they get older. They get a little more independent and a lot more interesting. It’s still not for everyone and even though I wouldn’t want to miss this time, it is also immensely irritating. It’s very possible to be glad to be there for them and wish you could spend more time away. lol. I would probably just keep trying to find friends. I know it’s hard!! The one thing I learned is be the first one to invite and try to set a specific date and time. No worries if it needs rescheduled, but set a date. No specifics means nothing happens.

Girl yes, I feel this! I just got my nursing license and can’t wait to start making my own money again. But I can only work weekends cause my husband has mon-fri gig as a nurse manager so I’m very limited to opportunities. Scheduling interviews and orientation during the week is so damn hard cause I don’t trust to leave my baby with just anyone. He told me the other day to just be a sahm and he’ll work everyday but then what was the point of working so hard to get through nursing school then?

@Keona I’ve been on leave since April as well and my husband had time off until June, so it wasn’t bad at first but now I’m ready to have structure back in my life lol

@Tessa yeah I pray I don’t lose my mind lol I do go out to the mall and go on for walks, I mean ngl I love the flexibility and slow mornings but also miss having seriousness and working professionally

@Megan so true I need friends and routine. I do entertain my baby a lot and love that I get to witness all his milestones and many first ❤️

@Leslie yeah I just told my husband I’m getting weekend job but it’s hard to find weekend position as social worker. I wish I had nursing degree, it’s super flexible. Can’t you do overnight and 12 hours shift. I was thinking maybe I should use this time to go back to school for nursing. I do see challenges of schedule interview and orientation during the day though. Maybe Your husband could take PTO for few days for you to start position. Yes girl I miss my irrational spending habits lol 😂😂😂

@Jessica same I get chores done when my husband comes home at 5pm. It’s dinner and chores haha

I feel the same way I have been working since I was at a young age too and want to go back to work for the sake of interaction with people but I am a SAHM and get mad at my bf when he leaves the house to work and bring home money for the family because I feel like I am stuck here while he gets to go out into the world. You are not alone

Sameeee down to every word you said, but I do go back to work for month on Monday they shutting my job down so I’m taking it as a trial run to see if I really want to work or stay at home til he’s around 1
