“How dare you complain after being gifted this opportunity to stay at home and raise your own children?” But it's not that simple. Of course we SAHM's are grateful to stay home and raise our young but that it's literally all we become. No one talks about the isolation. No one talks about the loss of identity. No one talks about the loneliness. No one talks about losing your sense of self. No one talks about how you had to give up your career because it's cheaper for you to stay home. No one talks about how you cry in the shower because your day was overwhelming. No one understands why you're so aggravated with your children. No one understands why after you've been home all day, the house is a wreck still. No one understands why you just need 5 minutes with no one speaking to or touching you. No one understands why you've lost your sex drive. No one understands why you're completely and utterly exhausted, after all, you just sit at home all day. Next time you hear or see a SAHM venting her frustrations, listen and make her feel like she's somebody. That her struggles are not invalid.

Yes! Staying at home for a year I realized it wasn’t for me. There are pros and cons to everything- but anyone deserves a break away from their kids at some point. It’s like staying in your place of work 24 hours a day 7 days a week.. it’s enough to drive anybody mad! Vent away
Absolutely!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I love being blessed enough to be able to stay home and give up on my career because it required traveling and I couldn’t be away from my daughter. I FELT THIS IN MY CORE!
I love this and totally agree. I went back to work from home some just to have something that I do for myself. I definitely felt like I lost myself in a sense once I quit my job and started my life as a SAHM. Don’t get me wrong through, I love my kids and appreciate the fact I have the opportunity to stay home with them.
I love this. If I’m ever complaining about my day with the kids and how hard it was my husband always tells me “well this was your dream. To stay home.” And it totally was. But I do feel alone. There are days where the only people I talk to all day are the kids. And that’s just not enough.
I was a SAHM a few years back and the cabin fever was unbearable. I needed friends, real friends, other than my kids. It was super stressful. SAHM’s are another type of superhuman 🥰
Beautifully stated. Its a blessing, but such a challenge as well. Especially as you stated, keeping your identity and how isolating it can be.
Fact facts and more facts!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😥
I’ve been a SAHM for almost 11 years and it can be so hard. Sure, it’s rewarding and great to be able to be there for your kids all the time, but it’s so easy to lose your identity. Most of the time I feel like I’m “just a mom”. I make sure to make time for myself everyday to do something I enjoy, if the house is messy, I don’t care, it can wait. I just wish I could find some friends to hang out with and have play dates. It’s tough not having mom friends.
I saw this a few weeks ago I had to share

Beautifully said!! I've been a stay at home for almost 17 years on and off until about 9 years ago when hubby and I made the permanent decision to stay home with the kids. I earned a college degree and put off utilizing it so I can be a SAHM. One day I'll use it, when my kids no longer need to depend on me but for now, I'm so grateful for the opportunity to stay at home with them and watch them grow and learn. All the facts you mentioned are all so true and it's scary as hell some days, ok, most days.
