Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Albert Einstein
As a SAHM, I'm told all the time that I should appreciate this time with my kids. I get to see every single moment, the good and the bad. I'm in complete control of raising them, my way. I love it too, absolutely love it. My kids make every single day fun and something to look forward to. So why, why in the world is there a desire to do something more? Why do I feel like I'm not making a contribution to the working world? I wonder if it's because SAHMs are a dying breed. Or is it more likely that society tends to make stay at home moms feel like they are useless and not contributing?
I think I need to make some new friends or find a hobby. I did the unspeakable and sent an email to the Mom's club in this area. I didn't fit in with the club in Pcola but maybe here it will be different. We'll see.

I also love being a stay at home Mom but being together every single moment also means being together EVERY SINGLE MOMENT. I think I may be suffering Mom burnout. I'd like to do other stuff too but just don't know when or how.
Every single moment. Every single day. The only time I have for myself is if they both happen to nap at the same time (or at all) or once they are in bed. Then I'm so exhausted I just want to sleep too. How do single moms do it? God love them.
Oh my gosh...I feel the same way! I just had a "crisis" about this about a month ago. Since then I have started my own business and am feeling less and less obsessive about being "just a SAHM."
I am a blogger mom from Maryland too! Glad to meet you and glad that I am not the only one feeling the same way!
Welcome to my brain! Is it comfy living up there in my head?
Come on over. I have wine. and really really good cheese.
