Do you enjoy being a SAHM?

I am, most days, bored, lonely and restless. i miss feeling like I was doing something important, I miss adult company. I get so frustrated with the constant trvia of dealing with a little kid.

At other times, i feel grateful and blessed that I am able to do this, to be at home and watch my little man grow. I'm lucky I don't have to go work, plus have all the responsibilities of running a home that i have now.

Indeed, a double edged sword.

Rory, I love that passage too. That's the way I think of it- this time in my life is my 'mummy and little kids time' and soone neough that will flow into something else.

:yeahthat:
I also think Rory hit the nail on the head as I was often bored being SAHM and was relieved when I first went back to work parttime for the past 4 mnths. But I found I hated work most of the time and idealised being at home. Now that I am a SAHM mum again I am a little daunted. I hate housework, I don't cook, I hate washing... love spending time with DS but it can be very boring haha all the things I forgot about.

Does anyone know how to find that motivation for housework - how to find that satisfaction?

This time I have set some ground rules about having 'me' time at least once a week, if he gets a weekend then he can share it

After being a SAHM for 4 years and having 3 kids cabin fever has finally hit me. Going back to work is not an option for me so I will be doing some short courses next year to keep me sane.
