Really nervous about becoming a SAHM. I've always either had a job or been in school full time, so…

you'll be busy don't worry. lol keep a to do list going and make sure to follow out you can also find a house hold chore organizer online they are super good to use. I used to work all the time or be in school

I'm going to be one, as well. Don't let the negativity about sahm get to you. It will be an adjustment, I'm going to join a group, so I can meet other sahm. When Baby girl get older we will have playdates, just think about all the things you get to do,while others are working. I wasn't able to with my first,so I'm going to embrace this experience.

and fuck the negative feedback. sahm do alot of stuff it's the hardest job I've ever had. and I do it for three kids. it's more stressful than school or work has ever been. just look at people and new like "you do realize that if a sahm where to be paid they would have an income of more than 170000

I am a stay at home mom, it has its hard days, but when my 2 year old runs across the house with his arms outstretched, or my 5 month old gives me that big gummy smile it makes it all worth it... and yes there is negative feedback towards us stay at home moms, some people think we sit around and eat bon-bons all day, umm no I changing diapers nursing a baby picking up toys 473949473 times a day taking care of the dog and I won't even mention the laundry lol... you got this mama

I feel ya. I quit my job of 8 years last week to be a SAHM. Funny story... I'm only 21 weeks pregnant and I'll be a FTM. So, I have a lot of down time. I'm preparing myself for the "she's lazy" "what does she do all day" especially since my baby isn't even here yet.

Thanks ladies. I know it's a big responsibility, and I'm certainly excited to spend the time with our l.o, but just nervous haha.

I'll definitely most likely need a checklist to keep myself on track

I wish I could be a sahm
