SAHM trouble
| Sun, 03-13-2011 - 3:49pm |
Hi everyone, I am in desperate need of some advice. I am a SAHM of two wonderful boys, ages 18months and 4months. My husband is very helpful when he is home, but works 14 hours a day. He does have off for 7 days in a row a month because of the long hourse, but by the time he gets home from work the boys are already in bed and he eats, takes a shower and goes to bed. I feel trapped. And I feel like a horrible mother because I hate being a SAHM. No one I know understands how I feel, they all think it's the best job ever. Don't get me wrong, I love my boys so much, but I am at the end of my rope. I just can't stand to stay at home without my husband to help. I get anxious just thinking that he has to work tomorrow.

First of all, I want to say "you are not a bad mom".
I agree with the PP's suggestion of getting together with other moms. A group will provide you with a support network, friendship, playdates (including nights out without kids!), and you'll see that you're definitely not alone. Have you ever looked into joining a moms' group?
