Firstly I want to say good on you for posting this. I think many people are not loving what they are doing but don't always have the confidence to say so, feeling they need to say it is all wonderful to justify their decisions and lifestyle. Good on you for being honest.

I don't have kids (yet) but I think the lifestyle will not necessarily suit me and my preferred way of being. I operate well when I have lots of pressing things to do, deadlines, pressure etc. Give me a day packed full of appointments and a to do list and I'll go like the clappas and get it all done. Give me a day with a few things that might need to be done and I am hopeless, I'll leave everything to the last possible time and probably not get half of it done. I think I need a bit of structure and the pressure of a deadline and I'm not sure if being a SAHM will give me that. I could be wrong though!

And thank you to those who have said you get no satisfaction from housework - I am not alone!!!!! My life has been reduced from super busy, working, travelling, socialising (whilst living overseas) to pretty much housework and thats all. I hate it. Because I have nothing I 'need' to do I have no motivation to do anything. Grrrr
