Even the days when you have all the kids might be better than "normal" days since there will be kids for yours to play with.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261907052119379241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240793983230342371.post-83927792038114365082011-05-15T23:09:26.039-04:002011-05-15T23:09:26.039-04:00I have been where you are and my SAHM mom situatio...I have been where you are and my SAHM mom situation was always temporary. I give SAHM's a ton of credit and praise. It is so hard to always be with your kids- 24/7. You love them and would protect them with your life, but let's face it- they are still highly irrational little beings. <br />As you may or may not know I used the Y to my full advantage. Both of your kids are old enough to go to their babysitting room or 'kids club' as our Y puts it while you get alone time and a work out in. I don't know if you have any decent Y's near you but that's one suggestion. Even if you have never been a 'gym person' that 1.5-2 hrs on your own feels REALLY good, along with a shower after a hard work out where you don't have a 3 year old asking you all kinds of questions or whining? Priceless. <br />At the very least see if you can do a kid swap with a good friend. You take her kids for two hours on say Tuesday and then she takes yours for two hours on Thursday. Your DH works long hours so you are doing a lions share of the work. You need to get creative and carve out some time for you. <br />Hang in there, you are doing a really great job. Your children will one day thank you for being home with them. The love and security that they have with you, cannot be matched by any daycare provider.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240793983230342371.post-66131343945170146382011-05-12T14:33:49.404-04:002011-05-12T14:33:49.404-04:00Wow, I feel like I could have written this post. ...Wow, I feel like I could have written this post. I feel like this SO much of the time. I LOVE being a SAHM and I LOVE my hubby, but am dreading him going back to work--he's been off since Bro was born--He leaves the house at 5:30am, gets home at 7pm, exhausted and grumpy. I'm exhausted & grumpy when he gets home, or I was when I only had the girls, so I'm terrified of how it's goign to be with 3 and being alone that long. It was hard to get out with the 2 girls at just 3 and 22 months. I'm thinking I'm going to be a prisioner in my house with the kids, that my hubby and I are going to have no relationship at all or have a horrible relationship. It's just a stressful time, happy time and crazy time. I can't go out to places that cost either :(<br /><br />Glad to know I'm not the only one!Mommy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298213931325437375noreply@blogger.com
