New SAHM, New to this board!!
| Fri, 07-23-2004 - 3:29pm |
I am fairly new to this whole SAHM thing. My daughter Carolyn was born on November 7, 2003, so I have been at home with her for about 81/2 months, but am still adjusting. Before she was born, I was a very independant person, I loved going to work everyday, no matter what kind of dead end job I was doing, I just like to work. I guess I really liked making my own money and supporting myself.
So now, I am a little down sometimes because although I make maternity benefits (if you can call next to nothing a benefit), I am so dependant on my commonlaw spouse for money!! It sucks. I do enjoy being at home with my daughter, but I really wish I had my own income. Does anyone else feel this way? I thought of going back to work early, but now am taking a correspondance course so that when I do go back to work, I can do something that I can make a career out of, instead of just going to work!!
Anyway, I'm sure I'l be on with tons of questions!! Just wanted to announce that I'm here!!

I see your point in wanting your own income. Have you thought of working partime or going back to work since you miss it so much?
Glad to have you.
