Working Mom- Missing Life at Home with Little One?

Oh yes, but just remember we are all doing our best for our families. Being a SAHM is not for everyone, and that's OK too. I have three little ones, and I find it helps having a special evening during the week(Thursdays for us) to spend extra quality fun time together. I take them to the pool centre after I finish work, and then we get takeaway, or have something fun for dinner. As working moms we have less time, but our time can be really great quality. I was so frustrated when I was a SAHM, but now as a full-time working mom, my time with the kids is great. I also do stories, bedtime, showers etc, all of which can be lovely time together. Good luck!

Pretty much every day... he's 3 and we want another one very soon and I miss him every morning and can't wait to get home to him! Having said that, I know myself well enough to know that I don't have "what it takes" to be a SAHM... we're great together for a couple of days, but then he's ready to go back to school and I'm looking to talk about things other than "tinkle, firetrucks and snacks".

I'm sure that's perfectly normal. Just like us SAHM's have our times when we are dying for some time away from the kids. I feel very fortunate that I can work part time during the school year. I really enjoy my job and my adult time. When it's time to pick up the kids, I can't wait to see them.

Make the most of the time you have with them! And remember, it's quality not quantity. She loves you, mom!

My daughter is 5 and I still feel that way LOL

Yes, I did for 5 years. After my second baby (just this month), I've smartened up and am trying something different...taking care of my kids and putting together my own business of selling personalized items. Who knows, stranger things have happened. After having panic attacks and feeling guilty and sad, I'm trying something new.

Sometimes. But my son loves going out and being with people that aren't mom and dad. My kids need a 'break from us' just like sometimes we need a 'break from them'.

: )

As long as at the end of the day, they're happy to see me (and not someone else), that's what matters the most to me.
