Some days, I hate this job.

Days like these, when i feel like a slave, i fantasize about going back to work.  I know i'm SO lucky that I have the OPTION of staying home, but like any other job, it doesn't mean i have to love every second.  I guess I'm just loney.  I've been a SAHM for almost 3 years now.  And for almost 3 years, I've been eating dinner alone M-F.  DH works soooo much.  I feel like I'm at my kids constant beck and call all day long, cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, doing laundry blah blah blah.......It just gets old.  Just venting

Sorry!  It will get better.

No way to have him come home for dinner one night a week?  What about dinner with extended family (grandparents, aunts/uncles) (or even other stay at home moms) one to two days a week?

 For all of the above, I WISH WISH WISH!!!  I have no family/friends (other than my neighbor who also has 2 little boys) in the area, otherwise, I would def. be there.  And I've been trying, unsuccessfully to get DH to come home early just 1 night a week, just one night so we can eat dinner as a family, so I can have help bathing them and putting them to bed.....not gonna happen, sadly!  But thanks for the suggestions!

I can TOTALLY relate!  I also have 2 little ones and my DH is out of town from Mon-Thurs.  It is tough...no doubt about it!!  Vent away.....

My DH is usually home for dinner, but I know lots of ladies in my playgroup have DH's working late.  They do this Supper Club thing once a week where everyone signs up to bring something and they have it at a different person's house and they all eat dinner together and then the adults chat and hang out while the kids play for a while.  Might be something to look into in your area to give you something to do and look forward to each week.  I found my group on Meetup.com.

I feel that way often as well. It is only natural. I just try to remind myself all the good that is comming from it and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel (someday they'll all be in school).

sorry your hubby can't be home for dinner.    that would definitely get lonely. 

hope you can find a better groove soon!

It's tough, no doubt about that.
