Hi there Elissa, (it's Lorelle )

Hey, I'm a full-time Mum too. Giving up wrk afta ova 20yrs until I had Cendrine ws so hard but it ws DH & my choice that we personally felt no child could get beta care then with their own parent.

And YES it is a sacrifice, ... I don't think many Mothers like to admit that BUT "U" av 2 look afta "U" 2, ... and that's why u r here asking 4 opinions. Good on you Elissa

Like u mite kno a little of my situation only living here in Ballarat 4 3yrs & av 1 new friend here so far since avin had Cendrine 20mths ago. I take her 2 daytime activities & also 4 the reason so she can b around other children & not jst me every single day.

Sometimes I mite take her to an activity twice per wk or sometimes once a fortnite or every 3wks. No matter how often I take her, she doesn't suffer and she jst loves goin weneva we DO go.

If I don't take her to an activity, eg, wen they don't run on school holiday's, I jst take her 2 a park. And take her 2 different parks so it feel new & somewhere else 4 her.

All my friends av gone thru the same feelings as bein a Full-Time Mum, ... and yes it can get lonely not avin adult company like u did at your last wrk-plc.

I av come 2 accept the fact that it's fine and I jst simply av 2 keep motivated and get us both out & about doin things. And remember as U already kno U r doin it 4 Archie in the end

... And what a beautiful gift 2 give 2 your child - Yourself at home with them
