Every time I try to study, My daughter throws a huge fit. I’m so fed up. Its been days since I last got the chance... Guess I’ll have to do what I don’t want to have to do, which is give up my nightly routine and lose sleep every night because doing anything for myself during the day is just impossible... It aggravates me that people at home don’t view the process of taking care of a child as a lot of work either. Just because I am at home doesn’t mean that my days aren’t as stressful. Being a stay at home parent is also a job and one that I would not apply to.. Don’t get me wrong, I love my daughter and I love being a parent but I’m not cut out for this ‘stay at home’ position. Some people love it, but this is something I never wanted for myself. I want to be able work and to contribute financially. I want to be able to provide for my daughter as well as for myself. If only daycare was more reliable for toddlers who can’t speak for themselves and nannies weren’t so damn expensive... This wait to be able to do anything for myself has seem so drawn out. Studying software and hardware for an internship this August... These next few months are going to be hell.

I hear you. I never wanted to be a stay at home mom, then I had twins and here I am a stay at home mom and I hate it. Im the kinda person that needs out of the house and to interact with other adults to feel human. Everyone makes me out to be some bad guy because I'd rather work then watch the kids. Love mine too, but I'd rather be working and making some extra money to bring home. Plus our condo is way to small for 5 people and it's getting too crowded

Yeah I hate when people make you out to be a bad guy for admitting that you don’t always want to be at home with your kids. We’re not saying we don’t love them, we do. We just need something to do for ourselves as well. Especially when it comes to finances too. When you’re so used to having your own money to spend on whatever, having to rely on someone else regardless if it’s your husband or whom ever is a tough change.
And I definitely agree with the human interaction part. After spending my days with tiny humans, I want to be around people my age lol

@ladyfreyja, exactly... I can’t stand it. I’ve always hated asking people for anything. I get so uncomfortable asking for money.

I totally understand exactly what you mean and feel! Being a stay at home parent is not for everyone and it’s definitely not an easy job. Tiny humans are frustrating sometimes.
Especially when you’ve always been an independent person used to working and such the change can be challenging suddenly losing that. I’m dying to go back to work, but I just don’t trust many people to watch my kids

Exactly! I hear so many stories about how horrible day cares can be for a baby. I don’t trust people to care for my child either. At least not until shes able to comprehend whats going on around her and able to communicate with me so that she can tell me if something has gone wrong. Thank you for your comment. It feels good to know I’m not alone. Hope all is good on your end as well, mama. 💖

@amadamforbes, I totally understand. So much can just happen that they can’t communicate to you. And they’re just so easy to manipulate at that age too, it’s just too iffy if you don’t know the people really well. I don’t blame you.
You’re definitely not alone! And thank you ☺️
And it’ll be tough finishing school but in the end it’ll have all been worth it
