yes we SAHM's do get left out of convos and looked down upon cause all we do is sit at home and look after our kids. People just don't realise that we are actually doing the most important job on Earth! Motherhood was always my dream job and i love it (it certainly has had its moments), it has taken over 2 years for me to really get used to the idea of being content with being a SAHM and not feel guilty about not working and earning an income etc, but i am so content right now and DH and I love that I am the one raising our son, not a stranger. I cannot imagine missing out on any of the little milestones that happen each and every day. It is very easy to forget about ourselves and remember to leave the house a few times a week to be with other adults and children, but it makes such a difference to have other mums to chat to about the positives and negatives of being SAHM's.
