Like any job it's tough at first, you have to find your community, and remember to do things for you too. Build your own pursuits, even if it's just reading whilst your kids play, so that your children gradually grow respect for the fact you are a person too. The hardest part of that task is remembering that you are!! :0Ross Mountneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197824499243468021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092262512198791277.post-82219911466611515392015-09-23T20:24:29.970+01:002015-09-23T20:24:29.970+01:00Being a stay at home Mum is tough.

I think you're doing amazing being a full time stay at home Mum, as it's a challenge for all the reasons you've put hereAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18441244675977820396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092262512198791277.post-52753124811920579842015-09-23T13:51:37.679+01:002015-09-23T13:51:37.679+01:00Really enjoyed this post, staying at home isn'...Really enjoyed this post, staying at home isn't a walk in the park!<br />I am a working Mum (part time) so get the best of both worlds. I often have people say how lovely it must be to get out and have some adult conversation and I'm sure it is. As it happens, I am a Year Two teacher so I wouldn't know! <br />And as for the parenting feedback, it sounds to me like your doing a fantastic job :D <br />Jade xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092262512198791277.post-51342318183680715992015-09-23T11:16:49.653+01:002015-09-23T11:16:49.653+01:00I was never cut out to be a stay at home mum and a...I was never cut out to be a stay at home mum and admire all the mums who do it. I do miss out on a lot being a working mum and I hate it but I chose to work. My sister is a stay at home mum and keeps herself busy with toddler groups and meeting up with other mums and now the baby is going to nursery of a morning she goes out for some adult time! I bet you are doing a great job xxone frazzled mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744999025327323049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092262512198791277.post-16214111458559401682015-09-22T23:03:07.106+01:002015-09-22T23:03:07.106+01:00I can relate to this post 100% as I'm a stay a...I can relate to this post 100% as I'm a stay at home mum too. <br /><br />I'm so glad you've written this as it's exactly how I feel and mentions all the thoughts and questions I have about it.<br /><br />I think a lot of people think it's a walk in the park staying at home with your children. I find it really, very difficult sometimes as it is lonely and lots of days merge into one. But I have to say that I'm so happy that I get to spend all my time with my little boy and I know I'll never miss his milestones.<br /><br />I also don't drive and live somewhere that we don't know many people and we have no family close by. I'm painfully shy so find it hard talking to other mums and parents. Saying that though we go to lots of toddler groups and I'm hoping that we'll be able to make friends along the way so it's not so lonely.<br /><br />There is always for lovely parenting blog community to help you through the difficult moments.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your post 😊<br /><br />Laura x<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289103182087475649noreply@blogger.com
