Hey all! I am a work at home mom (#WAHM) staying home with my beautiful baby boy!!

Right there with ya. My hubby works for Toyota and he pulls 12 hour shifts every day. It's always five, sometimes six, days a week. I miss him but I know he's working for us.

@m.mandy05, yes!!! My husband works as a manager at a gym and he works when everyone else is off because he runs the fitness department... he gets home between 7 and 8 every night five days out of the week and has to work Saturdays most weeks (thankfully only half days)

It's hard feeling like a single mom when you know you're not. I moved 8 hours away from my support network two years ago so now I feel like a single mom who's all alone. lol Just hang in there. They don't stay little forever.

@m.mandy05 That's another thing... we just moved from Phoenix to Dallas... and while my parents are close by (thank God) I lost all of my friends and mom friends that I knew out there 😔

Yes. Hubbs is a full time welder and on top of him working while I stay at home with baby I also bend over backwards for him and his baby mama when baby mama needs a baby sitter. As the step kids have gotten older it's gotten kinda easier but there are days where I feel like it's me and baby versus hubbs baby mama and the step kids... It can be very lonely.

@cschwartz2010 what kind of work do you do

@asunaking15, I work for a logistics company running their claims department. My aunt/uncle own the company and that is why I am able to work from home.

I am also starting a travel business specializing in Disney vacations!! Once this picks up I am planning on leaving the logistics work to give myself more freedom and allow me to do a bit more for myself and the baby on my own terms!

@cschwartz2010 oh okay I want to work from home but it's hard determining what's legit and not

@asunaking15, I was a teacher for the past 6 years and loved it but when I got pregnant and moved across the country, I took a break and am not sure if I want to go back to it or not but I miss it immensely!!! Maybe some day...

@cschwartz2010 I do love what I do but miss time with my kids and the things they want to do

@cschwartz2010 I haven't talked to my mom in years but everyone we knew was back in Oklahoma. We moved here in the hopes of more opportunities but it's hard when you don't know anyone around you and your hubby is constantly at work. Just try to remember he's making monies to pay your bills. That's what I tell myself all the time. lol

@m.mandy05, haha absolutely!! My check barely covers groceries every month!! I'm extremely grateful for him and all he does for us, just wish he was here more

How is when he is home from work? My hubs is gone 12 hrs out of the day, but I chat w him regularly via WhatsApp. When he is home he helps out tremendously. While the days may seem lonely without him, I appreciate the lil time he does get to spend w M when he gets home. I'm not working at the moment, so M and I get out of the house to do things and meet w other mommies and babies. Before M, I used to work from home so I understand how lonely it can get. I had to always make lunch plans to get myself out of the house.

@ginz, he's great when he's home... but unfortunately I don't have any kind of network here as I just moved from Phoenix to Dallas in July and then our baby was born in September. Working from home and being in a completely new place makes it really hard to make new friends. If I didn't have to work, I would join mom groups and such, but I have to keep working to contribute at least a little to keep us on our feet...

@cschwartz2010 ah gotcha. There's a few mamas in a group I'm in that are WAHM and join us on morning stroller walks for their "lunch" hour. Try meetup.com or fb groups. I hear ya... Having friends nearby makes such a difference.

@ginz, thanks! I'll look into those!!

@cschwartz2010 are the travel business hiring?
