Jealousy
I hate feeling jealous of others because I truly do love my life, but life is a little hard right now.
I have multiple friends who have become SAHMs in the last few months. I honestly don’t even understand how they can afford to. My husband and I both have to work full time just to get by and both have fairly good jobs. I work full time from home and take care of baby and I just can’t seem to help but feel jealous and envious of these other moms who do not have to worry about a job on top of taking care of their baby. I’m just feeling very down and guess I’m not really looking for answers, more just need to vent.
I was a working mom and then decided to be a SAHM and I will say I envy you more. I would love to be able to go to work and not listen to my babies cry and scream. I would love to hand off diaper duty to someone else because omg my boys love to flip and rollover and it’s worse when there’s poop on their bottoms! Don’t get me wrong, I love my boys and I love staying home with them but I would much rather work and have adult interaction. I’ve gotten use to it now but before feeling this way, I use to resent my husband and the fact that I decided to stay home than go to work. There will always be pros and cons about being a stay at home parent but I am the latter.
